Indigo Domotics

i just had some time to play with this again. i upgraded from an early version to version 8. none of the communication seems to be working (profile update, triggers). did i miss another necessary step for the upgrade?

Yes
Everything has changed !
The instructions are all updated - but need to change the trigger in BlueIris webalerts to be compatible to the new version

Ahh, what a difference a week makes. I changed the BI alert settings on a cam, trigger it, get this on indigo side:

WebServer undefined page requested "http://192.168.1.101:8176/Cam6/EXTERNAL/1/True" from 192.168.2.100

The port number is now the plugins port, not Indigo web servers

The plugin creates its own server
Don’t use 8176 - Indigo ones

Plugin default is port 4556

So exchange 8176 for 4556

Thanks, that seems to work perfectly.

Version 0.8.5

https://github.com/Ghawken/IndigoPlugin ... /tag/0.8.5

This add a new Action group to generate a recent ClipList, with thumbnails for playback of recently recorded files. (! )

This is the only addition but has taken a bit of time. Consider this addition a bit of a test, but if not running this action group - nothing specific has changed.

The new Action Group - Create Cliplist Html for Cameras

Select the Cameras (I do all) and then select the number of hours to go back and display the clips. (in hours)

This will go back the selected hours and for the selected cameras generate a cliplist of recent alerts/videos. The plugin then creates html file/s (stored in IndigoWebServer/static which can be used to display these clips).

Clicking on the clip then opens the video/playback/audio etc.

From within Indigo Touch - in a Control Page use go to external URL and use this URL to navigate here.
This will on my ipad open Safari and display nicely - can play videos by clicking, or just browse the thumbnails, and then click back top left arrow to go back to Touch.

(There is a Cross-Origin Domain issue with Chrome where the images won't show - so for the moment Safari it needs to be.)

eg.

Code: Select all

Location:
IndigoIP:IndigoPort/static/CameraName-cliplist.html
eg
192.168.1.6:8176/static/FrontLow-cliplist.html

Try it out!
If I can think of better Indigo Touch integration I'll change.

But I am very pleasantly surprised at how useful this is going to be, as when I start down this cliplist road I wasn't quite sure how it was going to end up useful in Indigo!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


Currently I have this action running every 2 hours generating the cliplists and html files. From within Indigo touch I now have a separate camera screen which pressing on the live camera feed - takes you to this external URL with a list of recent files; simple top left to go back!

I do serve the passwords for both BlueIris and Indigo from within the external URL - but they don't seem to be passed. This means when first taken to the link need to enter password first for Indigo and then for BlueIris. This appears to only happen once as Safari then saves.

Hi Glenn,
I cannot believe how much progress and so responsive you have been on this, it really is a fantastic work including your documentation, so once again thanks. One thing I am noticing is that my Blue Iris Server Device stops updating. If I reload it refreshes, but for example it hasn't updated since 15:23 yesterday. I don't yet have a need for it as I have BI Tools with notifications setup "pre-plugin" so no issue for me but I thought I should let you know. It may be one of those difficult issues as I have followed through almost all of your versions and tinkered before that. No log errors or warnings and triggers, gif creation etc are all working fine.
Thanks,
Neil

Thanks for the feedback!

I’ll have a closer look at that device code - presume there is probably an missed exception happening somewhere in the log when BI is not contactable.... will track it down ....

(the debug log might show something earlier on to cause)

(might in fact be the camlist one Professor Falken reported which is caught at least in 0.8.0 and above)

It could well be that it is to do with lost communication to BI and then not recovering, I was on 8.0 and now upgraded to 8.5 and I may have a something funky going on with my network that I am trying to pin down but it could have also been the connection where I was yesterday.

It maybe related to Neil's locking up but if I change a camera setting it closes the camera but does not restart it until I restart.

Code: Select all

Thinking about your issue. I think it will be because you have two BISever devices (probably one hiding somewhere in main directory)
Have a look and I’ll add a startup check for same.

If it happens again - turn on debug logging and check first box - BI Server Session only. Let this run for 10 minutes or so and PM me, or pastebin.org the resulting output - from the Event Logs directory.
Should be something fairly obviously within this log I would guess.

Clive - thanks for the log.
Checking now and just seems comestic - Device Stop is logged at different level to Device Start. But both are happening (turn on debug logging and you'll see)

Triggers:
Fount it - squishing bug now.
After editing device or device restart defaults to disabled until checked with BIServer that Camera is online. (occurs every minute or so)
Changing behaviour to after startup/or editing defaults to Online as that probably makes sense

G

Ok all; move on to

Release 0.9.3
- Code hardening for catching intermittent issues
- Change to default startup behaviour - cameras default to online; so remain online after editing preferences
- Add check for two BIServer devices at startup
- Change to update logging/turn of
- Fix for cliplist hyperlinks (image hyperlink was wrong/text right) Now both Right!

https://github.com/Ghawken/IndigoPlugin ... /releases/

Glenn, confirmed that bug has been squished

I checked and no duplicate device, I think I tracked down the network issue which was DHCP related (but not on the BI server but it was causing weird issues so I did some overdue housekeeping). I did have the issue yesterday (it stopped updating mid afternoon again) but I missed setting up the loggging.

Done now and also upgraded so if it does happen we should get an idea.

Thanks,
Neil
