      1st, have you tried the URL string at https://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=Lorex ?

      2nd, have you verified that the video player you want is able to run the video stream?

          @costascontis Try a different local player. In testing of the last version I used, VLC had an invalid command line. I honestly have abandoned the module totally in favor of an external approach for the camera.

                I’m assuming if i just have 1 stream, it will most likely cause a burn-in issue? any good idea? like transition between a black backgroup ever minute or so for couple of seconds?

                Thanks,

                  @zzricezz burn in is mostly a non-issue in modern screens, however, I severely doubt a stream isn’t gonna do anything like that, unless you’re streaming a closet… there’s enough movement on most streams that even things that are locked into place move around (due to encoding bugs, etc)

                    I’ve got this module working with my Wyze camera, but the connection drops and the image freezes after a few minutes. Is there a way to automatically reconnect to the camera from within the module? I can do it by stopping and starting MM2 using PM2, but I’d rather not have to do that every few minutes. Thanks for any help or guidance!

                      Hi,

                      You can try adding this line to the config:

                      omxRestart: 1,
                      

                      Automatically restart the OMX Stream every X hours.
                      Default: 24 (hours).

                      Btw. Assuming you use omxplayer. Do not have experience with other players.

                      localPlayer: 'omxplayer',
                      

                      But getting rid of the root cause of connection dropping and image freezing after a few minutes seems better time invested.

                        I use omxplayer ‘standalone’, not within MM, but under control of pm2.
                        When I restart my camera, the omxplayer is connecting to the stream automatically.
                        No restart of the omxplayer stream needed.
                        Just FYI.
