@DustinBryant Thanks for all of the suggestions, I have followed this and now do not get any errors but i see no video on the mirror!

Anything else i can check?

DustinBryant

@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:

Run MagicMirror
Minimize it
Using file explorer navigate to the MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RING/public/
Go ring your doorbell
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

DustinBryant

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.

I’m not using Two-Factor authentication.

This is the extract from the debug console window

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"

I’m assuming you also rang your doorbell to see if the video came up now using localhost?
