@Snille Had some comments. Fix those and I’ll merge it :)

@lolobyte First question: What motion software do you use?

[Snille]

@Cato Great! Thanks for fixing my mistakes. :)

Hi, that’s the info of help.

pi@raspi3-MM2:~ $ motion -h
motion Version mmaltest, Copyright 2000-2005 Jeroen Vreeken/Folkert van Heusden/Kenneth Lavrsen

usage: motion [options]

Possible options:

-n Run in non-daemon mode.
-s Run in setup mode.
-c config Full path and filename of config file.
-d level Log level (1-9) (EMR, ALR, CRT, ERR, WRN, NTC, ERR, DBG, ALL). default: 6 / NTC.
-k type Type of log (COR, STR, ENC, NET, DBL, EVT, TRK, VID, ALL). default: ALL.

Motion is configured using a config file only. If none is supplied,
it will read motion.conf from current directory, ~/.motion or /etc.

@lolobyte You will have to install motionEyeOS or motionEye to use this module. Please read pre-requisites.

@Cato
Thank you for your answer.

I just tried MotionEyeOS before i went to Motion.
In my eyes it wasn’t configurable with my desired functionality.

I just hoped there is a possibility to implement foreign streams.

[Cato]

@lolobyte As long as the software can provide a “motion jpeg”-stream, it can be supported.

Basically, you can test it your selv by making a local .html-file with <img src="xxxxx" />

For some reason i just get a “broken” picture icon, and if i try to open http://MotionEyeIP/motioneye/1 the site just says:

{"error": "not found"}

I have disable the password for the ‘Surveillance Username’ so no login is required.

I know the cam is available and motioneyos is working as normal. If i open http://192.168.1.200:8080/picture/1/current/ in my browser i can see the last snapshot, but not doing me any good…

Any suggestion?

	module: 'MMM-MotionEye',
	position: 'bottom_right',
	config: {
		url: "http://192.168.1.200:8080/motioneye/1",
		debug: false
		}
},

@emos hi, try changing the port (8080) in MM or camera , both MM and camera with 8080 will not work

@emos The URL you are using in your config seems to be the “web hook”-URL that you have to configure inside MotionEye if you want to automatically show video stream when motion is detected.

The URL should be configured like this (from documentation): Video Streaming URL. You find it in Motion Eye in the Video Streaming Section under Usefull URLs by by clicking the Streaming URL link. It should look something like this: http://motioneye:8081 (probably an IP instead of hostname).

[emos]

reinstalled motioneye on my other r.pi and now im able to view a stream from http://MotionEyeOS:8081, but only from cam 1.
With http://MotionEyeOS:8081/motioneye/2 i still just get cam 1. Get the feeling im not understanding something.

		{
			module: 'MMM-MotionEye',
			position: 'lower_third',
			config: {
				url: "http://192.168.1.200:8081/motioneye/2",
				autoHide: false,
				debug: false
			}
		},

Hi @emos I’m also using different cameras from the same MotionEye install.
I have my cameras set on different ports like this.
http://MotionEyeOS:8081
http://MotionEyeOS:8082
http://MotionEyeOS:8083
I think that the default way…
Then you have the motiontrigger url like this in MotionEyeOS/Camera (for example):
http://MagicMirror:8080/motioneye/1
http://MagicMirror:8080/motioneye/2
http://MagicMirror:8080/motioneye/3

That’s it. :)

[emos]

@Snille
My second camera is a remote camera, not a local one on my LAN.
Also http://MagicMirror:8080/motioneye/1 and http://MagicMirror:8080/motioneye/2 is the same livestream. changing from motioneye/1 to motioneye/2 does nothing.

[Snille]

@emos you need to add it in to MotionEyeOS. So it knows about it. I have 3 cameras in the same way. You can add any “network-camera”.
rtsp://yourcam:port/whatever-format in the “add” dialog in MotionEyeOS. :)

[emos]

@Snille
Camera is added to MotionEye
Under MotionEyeOS Settings>Video Device>Camera ID the ID is 1 and 2 :/

[Snille]

@emos Here is one of mine:

[emos]

Only thing thats not identical is under video streaming > Useful URLs.
As you can see that under cam ID 2 (left one) is that streaming URL are missing… don’t know if this is a deal breaker or how to change it… :/

[Snille]

@emos Hmm… I wounder if it is because you use an http link? Can you try to change it to an rtsp link?

[emos]

can i use rtsp for another MotionEye cam? Does it even have rtsp? :o

[Snille]

@emos Nah, you only need to use rtsp for the “network” cameras. The right one you have looks like a “locally” connected camera?
