LinuxMCE Forums

Hey guys,
Mainly just wondering if anyone has noticed any differences with IP cams on 810 vs 710.
I installed this camera on 710 using the wiki for axis camera's using motion wrapper. It installed without a hitch.
Now that I have upgraded to 810 i use the exact same steps and verified that my 810 admin page was identical to my 710 admin page and i cant get the feed to show up.... anyone have an idea how i can figure out what is going on here?

Hey Chris,

as i mentioned already, i got it working in 0810, but never tried 710.
so it doesn't seem to be an general problem at all.

but as i pointed oput here in the forum, i have the prob, that the zavio cam, even i wrote a new tempalte and assigned mac adrress and ip adress to it, it is always detected in a loop.
if i click accep lmce is writing a different ip adress from which it assign to the cam into the admin interface. also the mac adress is "via".

well, I finally got it recognized pnp but the image still does not show up on the orbiter. I checked the web admin and all the information is correct. I am at a loss. Are there any logs in LMCE that might give me a clue what is going on?

BTW, I used the MAC address that arp -an supplied not the one on the camera's admin page... that was the only way LMCE would recognize it.

BTW, if you want to use Mjpeg you have to disable RTSP in the camera.

...

See the files under /var/log/pluto/ specificly the ones starting with the corresponding device-number.

Zaerc,
I just checked that folder and there arent any logs for the device in question.... any other ideas? Under the device tree this one still has status listed as "run config"
Dont know if that means anything.

Maybe try running TailDCERouter.sh to see what's going on.

TailDCERouter.sh gave no clues, it looks just like it should, no errors.... just a bunch of Get Video Frame.

Any other ideas? is there a way to check to make sure that LMCE is actually logging into the camera? I have gone to the ip address I listed in the template to verify there is a jpg image there and it is... this shouldnt be all that hard!

Here is the Ruby code that the template uses for Get Video Frame

conn_.Reconnect()
auth_s=device_.devdata_[114]+":"+device_.devdata_[115]
auth_a=Array.new;
auth_s.each{|c| auth_a.push(c)}

fix_path=device_.devdata_[2];
fix_path='/'+fix_path if(fix_path[0]!='/'

• );
  
  s = "GET "+fix_path+" HTTP/1.0\r\n"
  s+= "Accept: */*\r\n"
  s+= "Authorization: Basic "+auth_a.pack("m").chop+"\r\n"
  s+= "\r\n"
  
  conn_.Send(s)
  recv=""
  while(true)
  buff=conn_.Recv(16384, 5000)
  if(buff.length() == 0)
  break
  end
  recv = recv + buff
  end
  if (recv=~ /^HTTP[^\r\n]+200\sOK.+?\r\n\r\n(.+)$/m)
  fileName="/tmp/ip_camera_img"+device_.devid_.to_s
  imageFile=File.new(fileName+".jpg",'w')
  imageFile.print $1
  imageFile.close()
  system("/usr/bin/convert "+fileName+".jpg "+fileName+".png");
  size=File.stat(fileName+".png").size
  imageFile=File.new(fileName+".png",'r')
  img = imageFile.read(size);
  imageFile.close()
  data_set(img)
  format_set('png')
  end
