      Description
      Whenever someone rings your doorbell by pressing the button on your ring device, a video will appear wherever the module is placed within MM. This module will only work for ding events and will not do anything for motion events. Whenever there is no video being displayed nothing else is shown in its place.

          Hi I cant get the module to work - it comes up with the following error in the logs, can you advise?

            You’ll need to install ffmpeg. I’m assuming you’re using a pi with Raspbian. If so, you can run the following in the terminal:

            sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
            

            If not, you’ll need to find how to install ffmpeg with whatever OS you’re running.

              I’m running MM via Docker on a NAS and can’t seem to figure out how to get Docker to use ffmpeg from the OS. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

                  Interesting, are any errors printed in the terminal and if none there, are there any errors in the Electron debugger log after running?

                    @DustinBryant This is what the mm log shows:

                    MMM-Ring at (10/10/2019, 20:59:55): Found 1 location(s) with 1 camera(s).

                    Then i press the doorbell:

                    No video is displayed on the MagicMirror.

                    Also I have specificed a 2 minute stream time in the config.js but as shown above, the video only shows it runs for 30 seconds…

                    config.js:

                                {
                                        module: "MMM-Ring",
                                        position: "top_left",
                                        config: {
                                                ringEmail: "EMAIL",
                                                ringPwd: "PASSWORD",
                                                ringMinutesToStreamVideo: "2", //default is 2 mins
                                                ringVideoWidth: "600" //default is 600px
                                        }
                                },

                      Ok, so I 've fixed the error you’ve run into. The reason the stream could have stopped is because someone on the account looked at the ring event on the ring app and then stopped/closed it. Unfortunately, it’s basically a “shared” stream in that if applications are looking at the event at the same time one ended could potentially end the other viewing it prematurely. I’ve only had this happen once and that seemed to be what that was.

                      I made some other small changes which may help here as well. I’d like for you to update all your software first though just to rule that out as well.

                      Before doing any of the following I would recommend backing up.

                      1. Update your pi OS to the latest version
                        sudo apt-get update
                        sudo apt-get upgrade
                        sudo reboot
                      2. Update MagicMirror to its latest version by using a Terminal to navigate to your MagicMirror folder and running
                        git pull && npm install
                      3. Navigate to the module/MMM-Ring folder and run
                        git pull && npm install

                      This will update everything, hopefully. Now try running MagicMirror again, giving it a couple seconds to a minute, and then ring your doorbell again.

                      Hope this helps!
