Hi,

Trying to get my Dahua HDW5231R-Z to work in this addon.
Main stream (rtsp) works but snapshot, preview or AllCameras fail.

All the url I have tried work when I use them in a browser:

snapshot: http://user:pass@ip-address/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi
MJPEG: http:// user:pass@ip-address/cgi-bin/mjpg/video.cgi?channel=1&subtype=2

The error log shows:
ERROR: COMXImageFile::GetCodingType error unsupported image format.
In the camera the image format is set to MJPG.

Any tips to get this to work?

TIA.

Hi, I have three Foscam HD cameras and an Axis M 211. I can see all four cameras in a split four picture, and the three Foscam also as a great single image. This is not possible with Axis Kamerea alone. With the Axis I use this input: http: // admin: [email protected]/jpg/image.jpg. What do I have to make the Axis camera also as a large picture.

Best regards

Hi everyone,

I have a Samsung SNH-P6410BN smart cam im trying to get to work with this.
Pretty new to all of this, so please bare with me.

I have tried inputting the "rstp URL" (rtsp://admin:[email protected]/profile5/media.smp) under the Generic IP Camera type - no luck.
I have tried using the FoscamHD type - no luck.
Foscam HD - Override (for C1) type, you guessed it - no luck...!

I just don't know what "URLs" to put where. 
I know the admin is the username and that must remain admin!
I know the cameras password and I know the IP address of the camera on my network.
What I don't know is the port (if there is one?) and I dont know how to configure Surveillance Room to work with my Samsung Smartcam.

Please can someone help me.
thanks in advance everyone.

Hi,

My wansview camera supports snapshot.cgi only so I get the same error as reported above:
ERROR: COMXImageFile::GetCodingType error unsupported image format

Full log: https://pastebin.com/DAcsDbWN

Did anyone have any luck in working out a workaround?

Regards,
Andrea

I don't see many folks replying on here recently but hoping someone might be able to help me. I have a couple Amcrest IP2M-841 cameras. I am setting these up as generic IP cameras. I'm using the following settings: 

Snapshot: http://admin:password@ipaddress/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi?channel=0
Video stream: rtsp://admin:password@ipaddress:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
MJPEG: http://admin:password@ipaddress/mjpg/video.cgi?subtype=1

When I set source - player to video stream, I can see the cam in full screen mode when I launch it manually. However, when I click all cameras, Kodi just kinda hangs for several seconds, but no video. I should say that I am able to see both snapshot and MJPEG in a browser when formatted as above, but am unable to see these in Kodi / Surveillance Room. 

Anyone have any pointers? Would like to monitor my newborn baby and toddler!

If anyone uses this app and could help me configure my Amcrest cams, I’d put a paypal a few bucks for a beer!

Basically, this Addon will accept my RTSP address for video stream, but it will not display snapshot or mjpg for preview or all cameras. The urls that I’m using work perfectly fine in a browser, so I’m not sure what’s going on.

Maikito26, if you are out there I would pay for this app!

Hi,
I am using the Floureon IP-Cam IPD-L26Y02-BS. I can see already the rtsp-Stream as Video-Stream but I tried different MJPEG-Streams from the cam, which are working on my pc, but not with the Add-on.

This Floureon Cam is also a PTZ-Cam. I would like to adapt the code, so that my Floureon PTZ is also working with it. I am having the CGI for my cam.

• Is here anybody who can help me adapting thie Add-on?
  
• I have already experiences in programming c, c++, php. When I change the python code, how can I check/debug it? It can't be the right way, that I zip the project and install it again.
  
• Does anybody knows - or give me a hint - why my preview stream isn't working?

I'm racking my brain on this app. I'm hoping that someone out there with the know-how takes this over and continues to develop it.

I have 6 Lorex cams and 2 Amcrest cams. I am able to get Surveillance Room to stream all cameras individually via RTSP. However, when using the snapshot or MJPEG on preview or all cameras, I get the exclamation mark. I have tested the snapshot and MJPEG URLs in a browser and they work for both camera models. This tells me that the issue would seem to be most likely the program itself, and less likely an error on my end since, but I'm open to any suggestions, or chipping in a donation to have someone continue development for this. 

For now I have my Harmony remote configured to launch full screen views of my camera feeds, which is nice, though it does take me out of the movie or show I'm watching entirely, which is why getting the pop-up previews to work would be so darn handy. 

If anyone has any advise, I'd be so grateful. I've spent way more time getting this to work than I'd like to admit.

At me works so.

Can you get me a Debug log?

Looks like you've entered the snapshot URL for a video feed... this won't work.  You're asking for it to play a video of a single frame.  The player is erroring out at this.  See if your camera has an MJPEG or RTSP URL you can configure instead

Hi everyone,

I have a Samsung SNH-P6410BN smart cam im trying to get to work with this.
Pretty new to all of this, so please bare with me.

I have tried inputting the "rstp URL" (rtsp://admin:[email protected]/profile5/media.smp) under the Generic IP Camera type - no luck.
I have tried using the FoscamHD type - no luck.
Foscam HD - Override (for C1) type, you guessed it - no luck...!

I just don't know what "URLs" to put where. 
I know the admin is the username and that must remain admin!
I know the cameras password and I know the IP address of the camera on my network.
What I don't know is the port (if there is one?) and I dont know how to configure Surveillance Room to work with my Samsung Smartcam.

Please can someone help me.
thanks in advance everyone.

 This may be helpful in figuring out the URL(s) to use in the Generic Camera configuration...

That said, try configuring this way first to see if the RTSP link works in Kodi.  I have not seen one with the .smp extension but I'm not sure if that matters.

 According to the user manual...
https://www.axis.com/files/manuals/um_21...100209.pdf

You should be able to use something like http://admin: [email protected]/axis-cgi/mjpeg/video.cgi as the MJPEG URL or for RTSP one of these options
• rtsp://admin: [email protected]/mpeg4/media.amp
• rtsp://admin: [email protected]/mpeg4/media.3gp

TIA.

Have you configured snapshot for Preview and All Camera?  Is the error the same if set to MJPEG url?  MJPEG extracts snapshots and rebuilds the video.  I'll need to know the source of the error.

Awesome add on

I have two foscam FI8905w however I can't get them to work at all.

In the settings I've inoutted the IP address, only the numbers. With port and login details in the relevant boxes.

Could someone give me an example of the URL I need to get the foscam s working?

Thanks in advance

Have you selected Foscam SD... and are you on current firmware with your cameras?   If yes, get me some debug logs to review.
