Much appraciated, that works a treat! I owe you a Beer…

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!

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

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.
