Axis camera display

alex2

has anyone been able to get axis cameras to display on their mirror? I tried with a couple of the iFrame modules and had no success. Curious if anyone has had success. Ideally I can get it to rotate between two different camera streams. I’m currently using the smartwebdisplay module and I jut get a text readout saying “updated requested at…” and then it shows the interval. The two various url options I have used are the ones listed on this page. https://www.axis.com/support/faq/FAQ30473

I don’t get any errors, just nothing pulling up. I am considering trying the webview (https://github.com/Iketaki/MMM-WebView) or rtsp modules, but want to see if anyone has had success before I keep trying things to no avail.

@alex2 Sadly, with the loss of OMXplayer, camera support on the Pi is somewhat weak regardless of brand. I actually reverted to the previous OS, and use a command line OMXPlayer to bring up a camera on top of my window.

So you’re saying this is related to the bullseye OS? Odd as in the native pi browser my links work. Also, to clarify, I do embed the user:pass into the url.

MMM-WebVeiw worked for one camera but I can not get more than one instance to run Like i do with MMM-RTSPStream but I had to go back to the OS before bullseye.

Hi, if the stream works wit MMM-Webview you can use MMM-EmbedURL to either embed one ore more streams. If you want to embed the streams at different positions the module supports multi instance by default.

Thank you. running WebView and it appears to work. Much appreciated.

haven’t tried EmbedURL to run two streams yet, but WebView did work, so that’s a huge plus.
