Dickydodah! 128 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I'm glad you're pleased not sure SWMBO will be when she finds I'm £42.31 lighter 1. I had a little side bet with myself that it was the core as I have seen other weird effects in the server management GUI. 2. @softworkz be kind don't make @Cheesegeezer suffer, well not too much 3. 4. I'll get my Tipex out and put a bit on the screen 5. But my time is precious, I could spend that minute pissing about with something else. All fair enough, but worth putting out there. My camera should be here tomorrow so watch out for the next nitpicking list Oh and of course the stupid questions! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesegeezer 3086 Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 You are a special creature Dicky… at least I listen and give an honest response so £42 lighter… hmm a good take away… lunch at the local with a couple of snifters… or some cash SWMBO can’t get her hands on… thats a win for me. my work here is done!! Hope you forget to turn the light off or leave the garage door open… it’s paid for itself then hahha cant wait for anything you throw at me, but this is pretty much all i can do with channels. There is so much out of my hands and ive tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickydodah! 128 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 I'll take that as a compliment I never wanted to be normal and take offence at being classified as such. You have written some awesome plugins and I think you love the challenge. It is also very healthy to know the limits of your knowledge otherwise you can get bogged down in the minutia. It took me a long time to learn when to give up and try another way or even ask myself "why am I bothering?" I really do think that as a first try with channels this is awesome as it basically worked first time (I'm sure you had a "few" issues before you allowed us mere mortals to try it) I hope you will be releasing it into the catalogue soon so more can take advantage as I have seen quite a few posts asking how to do this.

Cheesegeezer 3086 Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 @Dickydodah! let me know when you've tested. Did you say that the camera arrives today? i'm tempted just to release it. It works well and does what it says on the tin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickydodah! 128 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 It's due today, Estimated arrival 3:45 PM - 6:45 PM It looks pretty ready to me. Some of the setup is a bit confusing so you might get a few questions. It's just getting your head around how it works in the Emby TV/recording scenario. Very obvious once you get it working I have a question Is the list of protocols all it can support or can others be added? MJPEG is one that I have used in the past. I expect the core is the limiting factor as it has to be able to play the resulting file/stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjpeg is a type of a protocol not an actual protocol, most likely a RTSP protocol but tge image delivery is mjpeg. click on the link for setup your camera and find it and look at all the possibilities you can choose from. But the cam you got will be the same as what i put in the destructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickydodah! 128 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I think the last time I setup a camera was about 8 years ago so my memory of it is a bit vague but I'm sure it will all come back. It was all a bit different back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickydodah! 128 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 My camera has arrived and I've got it connected but I have a few issues that are probably down to me mucking around with the settings too much. I will check through it all tomorrow and make a few tests and let you know how I get on. I will probably have a few questions about your setup so I can iron out any config issues I have. Looking good so far, I think my issues are down to a low powered server not the plugin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickydodah! 128 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 @Cheesegeezer I've no idea what was going wrong but I deleted everything and started from scratch and it all works fine. I've noticed a couple of things that are a bit odd but I don't think it's anything to do with the plugin. When watching a live stream it is always actually a bit behind actual live. Is it being transcoded? I guess it is from the Stats for Nerds below. Would the dropped frames be because my server is rather puny? Stream RTSP HLS (140 mbps 20 fps) Converting to compatible container Video 1080p H264 Main 51 20 fps Direct Play Dropped Frames 8 Corrupted Frames 0 Time for a live release I'd say 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its transcoding then it will be further behind because the frames are being processed. thanks for the testing and feedback… I’m out today watching the six nations rugby so will release tomorrow along with my infinite hangover hahahaha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St3ini 3 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the Plugin - working good so far! As I have a multi user server, is there any possibility to limit the access? All Users can access this without limitation, but me, as the Administrator should have the control who can have access and who not. Best option would be to decide on which user profil this plugin is allowed to access. Like the user settings where you can check who will get access to which libary. Ah and btw: an edit button for existing cameras would be great instead of deleting and re-creating Edited March 22, 2023 by St3ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3294 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) If you untick "All" under Channel access at the page bottom in user setting acees tab, is it listed? Edit: Alternatively, you could add a Block-type tag-based rule for desired user(s). Edited March 22, 2023 by GrimReaper Append 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah and btw: an edit button for existing cameras would be great instead of deleting and re-creating I am not sure there is a way to block access in the channels module at the moment.... I'm waiting for the new beta release, that may allow this. Alternatively you can go into your users menu... Click on the users you don't want to give access to, Untick Channel --> All and then deselect the Security Cams channel Please note that if you are running a beta server.... these option are currently broken and you wont be able to do this. This only works on Server Release Version 4.7.11 Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimReaper 3294 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Nope, I'm almost exclusively on my mobile which is not on the same network as my server (me being onboard and cellphone being the only connection to the outside world), hence practically all my replies are verbal and from memory only, I very seldom attach screenshots as I am very seldom in front of an actual PC. Thanks, though, will check it out once back home and in online-phase of my existence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to create your own poster, thumb, banner etc images yourself from a screenshot. I will look at this in the new server release, but the structure of emby requires this from a metadata provider to populate an image. go to the 3 dots, select edit images and select your own images from a folder or url.
