MMM-Ring: Displays a video stream of your Ring doorbell when someone rings your doorbell.

DustinBryant

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

@DustinBryant yes i did, a few times and still the same. The video files are still appearing after the log says stream has ended

DustinBryant

Ok, run in dev mode again but switch over to the Network tab (instead of console) and see if any of the lines have red text prior or after hitting your doorbell again.

i dont see any entries in the network tab at all, i have stopped and restarted the record and hit the button on the doorbell but nothing apears in the log.

I’ve exhausted everything I can think of. Your working with an ideal situation where everything is updated and fresh and still not able to get the stream. For some reason the videos aren’t getting dropped in that public folder for you when the event gets activated. Based on what you’ve provided it should be working.

Since I can’t recreate the condition on my end there’s not much I can do here. Your specific issue is the first I’ve seen or heard of. That layer of the module is utilizing the ring-api from dgreif which I have no contributions to.

If you’re adventurous enough and have a little bit of coding background you may try downloading his api and play with the browser example he has to see if you can get that working.

Sorry @sithlordhood !

Ok, thanks very much for helping out.

One final thing that i thought of was that i’m using the wired ethernet interface on the Pi, not the WiFi. Not sure if this matters, just thought it a bit odd that i did not get any data displayed in the Network tab?

Just to update - dont know whats changed but the module is working ok now! Thanks!
