      Hi all, I’ve been trying to find a way to show a regularly refreshed image capture from my DVR onto my MM, we get a lot of parcels delivered and they are just left in the porch so it would be good to have a feed that we could keep an eye on.
      I’ve got a Hickvision system and can capture an image with a http url address easily, however having tried several modules I do not seem to be able to get the image to stream to the MM.
      MMM-Globe
      MMM-RTSPStream
      MMM-iFrame is now where I’m at - as I say it all seems to work and no errors showing but I dont get an image, with the config as below I get the random image from picsum but not the snapshot image I want from my DVR. If I just drop the dvr URL into Chrome I get the still so I know it’s not the address that’s the issue. Any help gratefully received.

      {
                      module: 'MMM-iFrame',
                      position: 'middle_center',      // This can be any of the regions.
                      config: {
                              // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
                                      url: ["http://admin:Password:)@192.168.1.69:80/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/402/picture?snapShotImageType=JPEG", "http://picsum.photos/200"],  // as many URLs you want or you can just ["ENTER IN URL"] if sing>
                                      updateInterval: 0.25 * 60 * 1000, // rotate URLs every 30 seconds
                                      width: "900", // width of iframe
                                      height: "900", // height of iframe
                                      frameWidth: "900" // width of embedded iframe, height is beeing calculated by aspect ratio of iframe
      }

          thanks for looking at this, I have found that when I view MM via an Ipad the image does appear, so maybe there’s something that the Pi just doesn’t like about the image file returned.

          If I’ve done this right I get the following response from curl

          pi@raspberrypi: $ curl http://admin:XXX@192.168.1.69:80/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/402/picture?snapShotImageType=jpeg

          /ISAPI/Streaming/channels/402/picture 4 Invalid Operation invalidOperation

            @JimH interesting…

            so, if u open the developers window in the pi monitor, ctrl-shift-i, then select the console tab and put frame into the filter field, you should see the error there

              Hi Sam, so I took a look and there’s nothing listing when I filter for frame but…
              I did find at the bottom of the Elements tab when I selected the module that’s running my image, there’s a warning that a Deprecated Feature is Used, it’s blocking any HTTP/HTTPS://user:pass@host/ url’s
              I guess the browser on the iPad isn’t so fussy and just picks it up anyway.

              There’s probably a way to add my Pi’s IP to an open access list on the DVR, or to file the image into a cloud location somewhere and then ref that to get it onto the MM.

              Nothing is ever simple!

              Thanks for the pointers!

                  @JimH use proxy image. This is my configuration for my reolink cameras.

                  
                  		{
                  			module: "MMM-ProxyImage", // https://github.com/daxiang28/MMM-ProxyImage
                  			position: "top_center",
                  			config: {
                  				name: 'Driveway', // Must be unique if using multiple instances
                  				updateInterval: 1000, // Duration between image refresh
                  				host: ['<url>'],
                  				port: 80,
                  				height: 540, // Pixel height of the image
                  				width: 960, // Pixel width of the image
                  				authType: 'basic' // basic||digest auth types
                  			}
                  		},
