BlueIris Indigo Plugin

Update - Now working - I did not delete the /Preferences file

I decided to update from 0.4.1 to 0.6.0.
Removed the 0.4 plugin completely and restarted Indigo .

Installed 0.6.0

Thanks.
Damn hard to find those upgrade bugs -but will see if can fix that one.

0.6.6
Is up and should fix that for others.

I have a tmp folder with 15 x jpg files (0.jpg,1.jpg.....14.jpg) , all 8 bytes long and cannot be opened, also Animated.gif at zero bytes and a Front_Door.jpg at 8 bytes that also can't open.
I obviously have something missing, possibly from the 0.5 beta which I did not install?

Hi Clive,
Thanks for continuing to troubleshoot. Shouldn’t be missing anything.

If the jpgs are 8 bytes long then the images can’t have been downloaded from BI Server. This is not yet a Anim Gif issue - more no images are downloading.

1. Are the other images (one up from tmp) there and okay?
Just re-read and seen Front_door also at 8 bytes.

For some reason we are not able to download or save images from BI server.

Is it setup correctly -
Port is 1234?
IP is 192.168.1.333?

If you type this in a browser what happens? (will need to add BI server username password in the popup)

Code: Select all

http://192.168.1.33:1234/image/Front_Door?w=1920


If you open the 8 byte file in TextEdit - what are the 8 bytes ?

May be a permission folder issue.... however given that it is creating files probably not.
Or most like a BI server user permissions issue?
- try with different user options; don't think are any restrictions of user accessing images - but check that user and/or try a different BI Server user.

& Finally; could check below (but don't think we have got to this code yet):
2. How old is your Mac - we use the Mac tool sips to convert to gifs which has been around for a while. From terminal type ‘sips’ and see whether anything runs?

Awesome plugin!

I had this up and running on the first attempt. Really cool.

Have already added some schedule based camera actions, and they seem to work great. I think I really like the idea of using Indigo to manage notifications and camera actions. Seems like this will allow a lot of serious customizations based on various house states or other monitored conditions. I think some of this could similarly be handled by profiles in BI, but I look forward to building some very custom logic based on your plugin. I especially like the idea you mentioned of having the plugin's "triggers" being separate from those in BI (if I understood this correctly) such that BI would still log "Alerts" and tag the recoded video as it always does, but Indigo could control whether BI "triggers" actually perform the various Indigo actions. This will be useful (I think) in the scenario I posted a few pages back to prevent my neighbor's 4:30 am headlights on my lawn from triggering a motion-overnight notification every night.

Also looking forward to trying out the gifs.

a few questions:

1) Should I go ahead and paste the variable based code into the alert boxes in BI to create the camera triggers back to I7, or is that system about to change so much with the http server that I should just wait for the current Beta to merge with the released version before adding that functionality?

2) What do you do when you add a new camera to your overall system? I am still building my security camera system. If I add a camera, then add it to BI, do I need to go back to the config and re-trigger the "search for cameras" button. If so, does this leave previously created plugin camera devices and their dependencies intact, or will they all have to be deleted/recreated? When I tried adding a new camera device via the usual Indigo add-device method, it didn't seem like it asked for enough info to really add a new camera from BI.

3) Best practices question: Does it matter, when I give the plugin my BI credentials, whether I use my own admin ones or should I create a new user with Admin privileges to be used by the Indigo plugin?

4) Maybe I'm thinking about this wrong, but might there be a way for the plugin to erase its various saved images/gifs after a period of time? I'm picturing folders filling up with days/weeks/month's worth of triggered images/GIFs that were sent along as a notification. Does the plugin keep all of these, or does it just overwrite in the same location each time? Obviously this data is also being robustly saved back on the blue iris drive if needed more permanently, are these images/GIFs also saving on my Indigo Mac in the plugin created folders?

Thanks for the feedback.
Probably would move to the http server version currently at version 0.6.6 - in Server Branch and help test that.
https://github.com/Ghawken/IndigoPlugin ... /tag/0.6.6

It is working well (for me!) and more robust, quicker and likely less future issues. (plus gets ride of log entries)

re: 4:30am scenario:
Yes exactly.
The Camera Device Custom State - PluginTriggeringEnabled.
This defaults to enabled - so any camera based trigger will run. It also becomes enabled when plugin starts or restarts.
But if set to Disabled via an Action (specific Action to turn on/off) then no trigger for this camera will run until it is re:enabled, or Indigo, or the Plugin restarts.
With BlueIris everything will continue, recording, motion etc. Its just turning of Indigo triggering - so could use overnight; or when home to stop Gif's being sent etc. (& BI will still record)

a few questions:
1) Should I go ahead and paste the variable based code into the alert boxes in BI to create the camera triggers back to I7, or is that system about to change so much with the http server that I should just wait for the current Beta to merge with the released version before adding that functionality?

To get the most out of the plugin (at least triggering) there does need to be feedback to Indigo from Blue Iris.

I would update to http server version (to help testing) and use the web alert suggested in that documentation. This enables On and Off sensing (and will soon aid trigger for motion off)

Also adds another Device Camera State: lastMotionTriggerType - which tells us the type of BI camera event occur, from motion, to test, to audio etc.

2) What do you do when you add a new camera to your overall system? I am still building my security camera system. If I add a camera, then add it to BI, do I need to go back to the config and re-trigger the "search for cameras" button. If so, does this leave previously created plugin camera devices and their dependencies intact, or will they all have to be deleted/recreated? When I tried adding a new camera device via the usual Indigo add-device method, it didn't seem like it asked for enough info to really add a new camera from BI.

Just click the generate Cameras Button. Won't delete any devices, and will aid any new cameras found.
Admin Users - also can access different Cameras I have found (e.g. disabled ones)

Do Not add a Camera Device yourself - might work if you get everything right - but more likely will cause some major issues.
Likewise do not add Main Server Device yourself - use the button

3) Best practices question: Does it matter, when I give the plugin my BI credentials, whether I use my own admin ones or should I create a new user with Admin privileges to be used by the Indigo plugin?

Not sure matters - but different user would be my advice - so at least when look in BI look can see logins/etc.

4) Maybe I'm thinking about this wrong, but might there be a way for the plugin to erase its various saved images/gifs after a period of time? I'm picturing folders filling up with days/weeks/month's worth of triggered images/GIFs that were sent along as a notification. Does the plugin keep all of these, or does it just overwrite in the same location each time? Obviously this data is also being robustly saved back on the blue iris drive if needed more permanently, are these images/GIFs also saving on my Indigo Mac in the plugin created folders?

Decided not to erase old images currently - certainly easier to see what is working/not working.
But does reuse everything - so no risk of major increase in storage. Once created once, will not get any bigger in size.
They are stored locally at

Code: Select all

 /Users/Username/Documents/Indigo-BlueIris/  & /CameraName/Animated.gif

Hence can use them to be sent as Imsg or notification.

Welcome to keep the questions coming!

Updated to the 0.6.6 Beta.

Copied the start/stop trigger http into the appropriate fields in the BI camera config.

But when I test, I get error12007 (error requesting page).

I have the correct Indigo IP and port. Port is configured in the plugin to match.

Updated to the 0.6.6 Beta.
Coppied the start/stop trigger http into the appropriate fields in the BI camera config.
But when I test, I get error12007 (error requesting page).

Double check the Plugin Config settings particularly checking the Port used. (default is 4556)

Check when starting the Plugin it says HTTP Server started on Port 4556 (or whatever port you are using)

12007 - Google tells me that 'server name' can't be found. What have you entered?

Code: Select all

When Triggered
http://IndigoIPAddress:PluginPortSelected/&CAM/&TYPE/&PROFILE/True
POST text: Indigo

Request again when trigger is reset
http://IndigoIPAddress:PluginPortSelected/&CAM/&TYPE/&PROFILE/False
POST text: Indigo

Also double check you haven't typed the http:// - bit in BlueIris - it selects it via a pull down box!
(I'll put money on that being the issue)

https://github.com/Ghawken/IndigoPlugin ... /README.md

See above in bold.

12007 - Google tells me that 'server name' can't be found. What have you entered?

IP of the indigo machine:4556

I have used this default port in the config

Tried reloading the plugin. It does show the http server listening:

Ha, yes. That was it.

Just re-read and seen Front_door also at 8 bytes.

Not a good day yesterday, just rechecked and all the .jpg files are actually 8KB size (not 8 bytes as I originally stated )

If you open the 8 byte file in TextEdit - what are the 8 bytes ?

Inside the Front_Door.jpg (and the 0-14.jpg files) is HTML!!!

If you type this in a browser what happens? (will need to add BI server username password in the popup

I get a picture from the camera

If the jpgs are 8 bytes long then the images can’t have been downloaded from BI Server. This is not yet a Anim Gif issue - more no images are downloading.
Not a good day yesterday, just rechecked and all the .jpg files are actually 8KB size (not 8 bytes as I originally stated )

Thanks for all the info.
That does seem quite odd - has to be BlueIris authentication issue. Do you want to try changing the authentication settings for that user and particular the web-server authentication settings for authentication: non-Lan only etc. options.

This is that Html Page:


Does this mean anything? Have you got a custom BI login page - or are there some settings I haven't found?

Either-way Odd.

Let me know your BI Web Server settings.
Probably will be http/https or similar issue and can have a look at Download Image code changes...

It'll be this setting here, in BI Server



These are my settings (although the plugin does authenticate regardless traffic)
I do have Authentication form non-LAN only, tested works fine with authentication all connections as well.
(as said the plugin does authenicate)

I think the relevant part is the
'use secure session keys and login page'
Must display this login page for all access - hence cannot download images.

Meanwhile the plugin does for the most part use the session keys (just not available as option for the images)

Odd that the URL that we checked didn't take you to it though?

Give it a try.
