Hi and a Happy New Year!
I have a motion based Raspberry Camera and was looking for such a window overlay solution. Great addon.

The motion url is e.g.: http://192.168.1.1:8080 and gives back an (m)jpeg (works well in a browser).
I've installed the version 0.4 of the addon on a XBMC 12.2 (Openelec 3.2.4)
If I give the URL http://192.168.1.1:8080 in the configuration tab and start the addon, XBMC hangs...

The last entry in the log-file is: "20:12:34 T:140378363643648 NOTICE: -->Python Interpreter Initialized<--"

Same behaviour in XBMC 12.3 on Windows 8.1

Probably it is a problem, that there is no file name in the URL?
Any help appreciated..

Thanks!

I'm not sure what the issue would be here. Not having a filename in the URL shouldn't be an issue as far as I know. Can you experiment with another image source? Any online .jpg should do.

Is there any chance your camera is configured to use https (SSL)? From the provided debug log it appears the urllib library is failing to retrieve the image from the url and is complaining about ssl:

Code:
Error Contents: [Errno socket error] _ssl.c:475: The handshake operation timed out

Alternatively, is there any chance the script is being denied write access to:

Code:
J:\xbmc portable\XBMC\portable_data\addons\script.securitycam\resources\media\

I seem to have an issue with Aeon MQ5. When I am playing music the CAM overlay appears just fine, as you can see in the screen shots on my blog post here. But today I was playing a movie and the CAM overlay looks like the below..

My Home Automation scene pops up a text notification first in XBMC, then pauses the video playback and then finally calls the CAM overlay.

Its very dark outside now so you can't see much of a CAM image, however you can see the issue with the Starring Actors on top of the CAM overlay.

If I comment out the pause command, then the CAM overlay appears OK over the playing movie etc.

Thanks

I am no expert by any means, but I do recall reading about being able to pass parameters to an add-on via a JSON call. I am sure we will be able to work it out some how. I'll have another read on it time permitting.

Thanks.

I've seen this issue on a couple of UI elements in Aeon Nox as well but none that covered so much of the security cam image. I'm not sure if there is a way to for the security cam window to be displayed on top of those elements or if it is an issue with the skin. Anyone have some insight on this?

It's probably the render order of the dialogs. Each dialog has a <zorder> attribute that can be used for altering who renders on top of who. In the case where both <zorder>'s are the same, the first one open renders first, with the second on top (the usual case where you open a dialog from another).

By default, dialogs have <zorder> 1 and windows have <zorder> 0. It might be that either the Aeon fullscreeninfo dialog has <zorder> higher than 1, or that the order in which the dialogs pop up causes it to popup after the CAM dialog (assuming you're using a dialog for it!)

edit :
i edit the script to test it i change this line
url = __addon__.getSetting('url')
to this
url = ('http://192.168.1.64/cgi-bin/video.jpg')

and the screen popup without refreshing
i does a temp.jpg over the media folder but after a while the script jump with a error

Code:
Error Type: <type 'exceptions.IOError'> Error Contents: (13, 'Permission denied', u'C:\\Users\\Fernando\\AppData\\Roaming\\XBMC\\addons\\script.securitycam\\resources\\media\\temp.jpg') Traceback (most recent call last):

warlion,

You seem to have a typo in the URL setting for the add-on. In your browser the IP is 192.168.1.64 but in the addon you have 192.164.1.64.

Hope it is that simple!

In the case where both <zorder>'s are the same, the first one open renders first, with the second on top (the usual case where you open a dialog from another).

By default, dialogs have <zorder> 1 and windows have <zorder> 0. It might be that either the Aeon fullscreeninfo dialog has <zorder> higher than 1, or that the order in which the dialogs pop up causes it to popup after the CAM dialog (assuming you're using a dialog for it!)

Is there any way to set the zorder on the WindowDialog from python?

Hi iolaus,

Taking a url with a (static) jpg the addon works fine.
Taking my motion url (e.g. http://192.168.1.1:8080) xbmc hangs, no keyboard stroke accepted, reboot required.

Info: When I use "xbmc-send --host=192.168.1.10 --action="playmedia(http://192.168.1.1:8080)"" from a linux console, the video plays perfectly (but in fullscreen).

Do you have any ideas, how to debug this effect?

Ohh I sorry I forget to tell you I test it with different ip , without port , without pass , user etc, etc, I try all I can think,

The way mjpeg is encoded xbmc is probably seeing it as one big image and hangs waiting for it to "finish"

Do you have a URL for a single static image from the can?

warlion · 2014-01-09, 16:16

i dont know if this can be of any help my camera need to use activex if the browser dont had it i will not show the video feed

I had the exact same thought as Bstrdsmkr, it seems likely that the mjpeg is tripping things up and causing urllib to hang while trying to download the image.

So I can now add this to my doorbell scene in VERA and tell it to bring up the Security CAM Overlay script on the XBMC HTPC.

Vera Luup Code:

Code:
luup.inet.wget("http://192.168.0.100:80/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Addons.ExecuteAddon","params":{"addonid":"script.securitycam"},"id":"1"}}")

Excellent, just what I was looking for!

To tell it to send it to each xbmc, would I just add a line for each XBMC in Luup? Probably would be better as a loop based on XBMCState plugin actually I guess.
