Sammy 734 Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) A good RTSP URL site is: https://www.ispyconnect.com/sources.aspx is this any good? I just tried it for my camera. It didn't have a place to put in the port (is it even needed?) and the stream protocol was off a bit. I used 101 but this returned merely a 1; again, maybe it works like this as I read someplace here about that digit but didn't read it all as I used the whole thing.

chef 3744 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 How are you doing this with Alexa? Is this through Emby or by another means? Do you use Alexa to control Emby? Yes I use alexa to control EVERYTHING lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 734 Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 LOL! check this out! @@Luke @@gjviii @@Sammy @@PrincessClevage I don't have any of these voice activated devices as I like my smartphone to do stuff for me but have been considering it. Right now I use Vera to do this sort of stuff and an old school Harmony H900. Do you have to have Emby already running for this to happen of does the verbal command "Home Theater" load Emby on the "xBox" when you answer that question? There's plug in development for Alexa on Vera right now but I don't follow that thread as I don't have an Alexa. HMM.. More techie stuff to investigate. If I get it I have even more things to manage. Right now it is Emby, WMC and the tuners for that, Vera, BlueIris and my ipCams, Hmm what else can I add to that? LOL. Sometimes I wonder if this cool stuff to make life "easier" sometimes complicates things.. All that said, do you program Alexa with a web GUI or phone app?

Sammy 734 Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 I guess also, I'd need a smattering of echos around the house and in the back yard. With this I wouldn't even need to grab my phone to turn on the pool pumps, spa or patio lights and fans. Just tell Alexa to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3744 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I have many echos now. But alexa speaks to an emby plugin i brewed up. However there is an actual alexa emby plugin written by another member of the community. His is very intuitive. Pretty cool. And I wrote my own vera plugin as well.

Selecting a saved camera will allow you to edit and resave them now. Recording eh? Let me see if I can do it. That might be a bit out of my expertise. I'll have to look at some code on the git.

Any thoughts about a split screen sort of setup where we could see multiple camera streams at once? Well, technically this plugin is only redirecting the camera streams through emby to whatever player emby is using on a device. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely sure that is possible without accessing the streams prior to emby serving it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 734 Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 That would be where a plugin to Blue Iris would come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gleep52 15 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Yes that was my thoughts exactly. With blue iris you can pass a group name in the URL to display all cameras within a group. So for example I have four cameras around my front door/house area in a group in Blue Iris called "frontyard" - I can see all of those cameras with a specific URL. I haven't tried out this plugin yet - I keep running out of time. Hopefully I'll be able to try this tomorrow night. Thanks for all this hard work!

If you go to the micasaverde forum down at the bottom is the information about it but the thing is that it is sort of abandoned but I did find the Lua files to put into vera and the Alsteon Source Code, it just insn't compiled into a binary to run on the Vera which was deliberate to make it more portable to differnent Vera models. I don't know Linux or rPi so I'm stuck! I think maybe we can continue this over there? Are you the same "chef" in those forums? There is this wiki but I don' tknow what they're talking about..
