Can you paste your config-section of this module?

Woody

{
	                  module: 'MMM-MotionEye',
	                  position: 'lower_third',
	                  config: {
		          url: "http://userid:password@192.168.0.13:8081",
                          width: '800',
                          autoHide: 'false',
                          autoHideDelay: '60000',
                          debug: 'true'
	     }
       },

for the sake of completeness, this is my trigger URL http://MMip:8080/motioneye

I’m on vaccation until next week (back 8th of May) and don’t have any chance of doing any testing.

Just wondering about your configuration. The values for width, autoHide, autoHideDelay and debug is not a string and you should not have the hyphen ( ’ ) around them. Not shure if it matters, but could you try to remove them?

Hi, I had a bit more time over the weekend. By trial an error I found out that the problem is related to my motioneye URL string providing userid and password. Apparently the Electron browser can’t handle this. After disabling authorization in Motioneye the problem was solved. In another MM installation on a Pi Zero I use Midori as browser and this works since month without problems. Thanks for MMM-Motioneye and your help in this case.

which camera du you suggest? I never had one. Should work for and in my garden (to observe the kids)

Just have a look for the noir camera. Have a look for amazon.com. There is an official cam - I think - by the raspberry company. But any other that support the onboard psi cam plug is imho better than usb cam. But that is your decision.

I had that same issue. I ended up just creating a few mmm-mogioneye module entries in the config file

Did you ever get an answer back on this one? I am having the same problem. I see everything fine without autohide active, but if I activate autohide, I see it for a bit during page load and never again after. I get detected motion emails and photo uploads so the detection isn’t the problem. It just doesn’t get fed to the mirror module somehow. Maybe my Web-hook config is off?

It would be helpful to know if you fixed your issue and how you did it.
