      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!

            @sithlordhood this one is a bit tough because I can’t recreate the issue you are having.

            We can look at if the video is actually showing anything at all to determine if this is a sip session/ffmpeg issue or an issue on hls hooking into the video control and playing the stream. Try this:

            1. Run MagicMirror
            2. Minimize it
            3. Using file explorer navigate to the MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RING/public/
            4. Go ring your doorbell
            5. Once a .ts file gets dropped into the public location open/play it. Maybe check a couple as well.

            Is there video of your doorbell camera when you play those?

            BTW, they will all be like 2 second long videos each. The stream (m3u8) is what ties them into a continuous video by playing them serialized.

              Hi, i have tried what you have suggested and a .ts file does get dropped in, I have tried to play it but it does not play, the file size is only 117 bytes.

              I have tried this on a complete fresh system, running Raspbian Buster, with the current MM build, also this is the only module i have active in the config file. No video at all is shown on the mirror! help!

                These are the files in the public folder once the doorbell is pressed. Note these files only appear once the log shows “Front door video stram has ended”

                -rw-r–r-- 1 pi pi 0 Oct 31 20:10 stream0.ts
                -rw-r–r-- 1 pi pi 117 Oct 31 20:10 stream.m3u8

                Regardless of the time set for “ringMinutesToStreamVideo” the log always shows a run of less than 30 seconds:

                MMM-Ring at (10/31/2019, 8:09:42 PM): Front Door had its doorbell rung! Preparing video stream.
                MMM-Ring at (10/31/2019, 8:10:03 PM): Front Door video stream has ended
                timeout hit

                  They don’t appear until ended? Wow, that’s a new one. You should definitely be getting them as soon as it says “Preparing video stream”.

                  This might be an authentication issue. Do you use 2 factor authentication with Ring by chance?

                  Check the debug console window for errors by running MagicMirror with using the following in the main MagicMirror folder:

                  npm start dev
                  

                  This should start the MagicMirror with an additional window to the side that you can select the console and look for errors there.

                      Is there a reason you’re using 0.0.0.0 over the default localhost?

                      Test with using localhost by setting it in the config file:

                      address: "localhost"
