Need Data Please: Need Blue Iris Data

Can someone with Blue Iris do some data dumps of the things required for that plugin? I don't have this and want to support native camera integration with HomeKit. For instance, with SecuritySpy, there's a server and then each camera is it's own device. I don't know if Blue Iris works this way but I know that it's a popular solution so I would like to support it if possible.

Thank you.

Code to use for each device:

Code: Select all

indigo.server.log(unicode(indigo.devices[DEVICE_ID]))


Hope this is what you require

Thanks Clive!

I don't see anything in the devices that indicate the IP address of the cameras or anything that would point me to the server itself. Is that stored elsewhere, like in the plugin prefs?

Is the device address always "Blue Iris Camera <cameraname>"? I need to know so I can make sure that I can always grab that last bit to get the camera name for the URL.

I think you need the value from the state optionValue which is equivalent to the Blue Iris short name that is used in URLs

That's what I was going to go with but got spooked by the "option" word, meaning to me that it was something that the user had the power to change in the plugin and, thusly, break the URL.

Beta 19.5 is released (click to download) which adds experimental Blue Iris support and enhances SecuritySpy support.

Not sure if you need this here or Github.

Thanks for the feedback! Git's probably a better place to do this on the next update but as I said, it'll likely take 2-3 updates to do this because I'm working blindly. I'll see if I can patch that problem and put another release out.

Ok, will switch to Git for further feedback.

BTW, Ghawken on Github is GlennNZ here and as the author of the Blue Iris plugin was offering to help with adding bits to the plugin if it would help the integration.

While I wasn't certain of that I was fairly certain that was one and the same . I think we'll get this nailed without having to mod the plugin (fingers crossed).

Ok, try the latest 19.6 build that fixes that. If it works I'll be floored but one baby step at a time. I have no way to test this other than to build-patch-build based on people's feedback.
