Hi Guys,

Right so I live real close to the M1 and use it for travelling to family/going to work etc.. I used to have a media tile that showed the M1 camera because you can usually see if it's standstill from it. Previously I had to use another website that hosts it as whenever I viewed it on an ipad it'd come up with a different static image that'd never change. Now that websites been taken down and I can only view it by 'https://www.motorwaycameras.co.uk/imagehandlerx/?4947165839360' which doesn't work on ipad/iphones etc.. Does anyone have any workaround? I assume it's because it's using 'https' as the previous url was http.

Cheers.

I noticed when viewing recent history of the SmartWeather Station Tile in SmartThings that every 30 minutes ActionTiles refreshes/polls the weather information. Is there any way to disable that so that I have full control of when the tile gets refreshed? I have a CoRE piston set up to poll the weather tile on certain events. I know this probably sounds like a dumb request, but like I said I would rather have full control of when the information gets refreshed. Just a personal preference.

Yes, another question about video streams. Apologies, but it's the one thing stopping me from using AT as a panel on an android tablet

I've got a MJPEG stream running for an IP camera.  It's actually an RSTP stream being converted via motionEye on a Pi3, but I'm not sure that's related to the issue.

If I add the MJPEG stream as a tile, everything works fine until I click on the stream to enlarge it.  Once I do that, the stream stops, and closing the enlarged view doesn't restart the smaller view in the tile.  It's just stuck.

I read about Chrome having a hard limit on sockets (https://support.actiontiles.com/communities/12/topics/1295-full-screen-video-stop-popping-up-after-used-once), and there seems to have been a related change in an AT release a while back (https://support.actiontiles.com/communities/12/topics/2040-release-v662-media-tile-video-stream-stability-enhancements) -

close video stream prior to zoom in order to save concurrent sockets

So, I tried Firefox and Edge, and they handle the zoom/close scenario perfectly.  So it does seem to be a Chrome thing.

My aim was to use Fully Browser on an android tablet as a kiosk, but that basically uses Chrome so has the same issue.  I can use firefox on the tablet but I can't come up with a firefoxy-way of running a decent kiosk experience.

Hi I wanted to add a tile to track the arrival of Boston subway train in real time. Has anyone had any luck doing this? I know there are plenty of apps that have this capability but I thought it would like nice as a tile. 

does anyone have this camera? And does it work with action tiles?

This is dead simple to setup and works great on tiles.  It let's you stream your computers webcam to a tile.  https://github.com/gen2brain/cam2ip

Works with Linux, raspi, and windows

cam2ip

Turn any webcam into an IP camera.

Example (in web browser):

http://localhost:56000/mjpeg

or

http://localhost:56000/html

I have 3 cams streaming through a TinyCam web server running on a dedicated Galaxy S5.   

The tile is set up as MJPEG video stream using the URL: http://xxxxxxxx:8083/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

I have three cams running on one panel (Security), and a 4th camera running on another panel (Weather).

The tiles run fine for an hour, or two, or more, then randomly they will freeze/stop updating.   A manual refresh of the panel will get them started again.

I'm using two Android tablets.  One is a Nexus 9, and the other is Lenovo Tab 10.  I"m wondering if there is some setting on the tablet I'm missing, or something within ActionTiles?

Thanks for any help/ideas!

Hi all,

In got two Fosacsm 9826p v2 cams. Everything is the same. Howevet, one stream is loaded consistantly while the other sometimes freez or doesnt load.

Is this a camera thing or something I can fix ActionTiles? Both cameras stream correcly when opened in an ipcam app i.e. Owlr ipcam viewer.

Seems like the mjpeg stream of one camera is not being loaded smoothly. I use the chrome and chromium browser on my macbook and rpi.

Any idea?

BTW, great job on Actionetiles app! Clean front interface for smarthings hub was very much needed for a very long time! please keep it going!

So I got my Harmony hub activities to show up as tiles on my panels, but i'd love to be able to have further controls over my individual (AV)devices on the actual tiles. For instants be able to control TV's volume, input, etc in tiles would be awesome!!

Would deeper (AV)device control be possible on the tiles down the road? Perhaps a Harmony Hub integration app?

As a preface, I am not a programmer and don't have the ability to code a solution without significant help. I am looking for a way to show my solar panel PVoutput graphs in a media tile.  As far as I can see, the pvoutput.org website uses JavaScript to generate the graphs on the fly using a tool called highchart. There is an option to embed a widget in a webpage showing the graphs ( a script), and even a tool to download a generated SVG or JPG image, but there is no specific URL to an image file itself. 

Thoughts?

this happens in chrome in late version android and chrome on a ubuntu box.

i have 5 video feeds from a zoneminder server, i click a video feed and it enlarges the first time and stops working after that.

i know chrome has a socket limit, seems like actiontiles isnt releasing the socket.

i waited a 1/2hr and still same condition

Is it possible to add a stream of photos to a tile?

I have photos in Apple iCloud and would like to have a rotation of images in a tile next to some Smartthings controls to build a dashboard come photo frame.  

I have tried the urls for the shared iCloud albums, and also the urls for a DakBoard i also use, but i can't get ActionTiles/Smartthings on the same screen.  

Any ideas?

Thank you

I have an odd issue where one of my links to a media image won't work in Fully Kiosk. Works in Chrome (top image). Any ideas?

I'm looking for a way to integrate our Owlet monitor into our Smartnursery. For those who are unaware, an Owlet is a small monitor that fits on a newborn's foot to monitor body temperature, motion, etc. when a parent is in another room/away, and can send alerts to smart phones. Our twins are medically fragile, as they came a little early, so tracking medical data may prove useful if provided to a doctor. I would love to see a way to receive the data from the Owlet base and then plot on a timeline and store the data for a tile. I've seen Python scripts on Github that are simple graphing/data storage methods, so I was wondering if anyone else had any experience or ideas with this! 

I’ve been playing with an RPi2 running MotionEye. It works great. I was wondering if anyone has messed with adding a motioneye camera feed to AT.

Does anyone have any experience with Night Owl Cameras.  I would like to add the feed to my Main Panel.  My system is a couple years old, it has cameras that feed into a main hard drive unit that plugs into the wifi and is accessed with a monitor plugged in directly, on my iMac, or my phones.  I know that the feeds are there but can I access them.  If this is real involved, forget it.  

Any feedback will be appreciated.

I think I know the answer to this but I'm going to post anyway.  I'm trying to set up live traffic feeds with no luck.   All the state camera links in Connecticut are "https", not "http".

Am I correct in thinking that ActionTiles does not support "https" media feeds?

Thanks, Jeff

I'm newbie, first post. Having stability issues with MJPEG video stream on iPhone. Video works fine on Amcrest video app no problem or VLC player but only works randomly via ActionTiles.

sometimes video stream runs perfect then several minutes later the video will stop working for the remainder of the day for seemingly no reason..... not sure if user error or software issue.  

Appreciate any help that can be provided !!!

I've been plagued with issues streaming my cameras for a while now, and every now and then I try to do some more investigation to see what I can come up with.

Today I discovered something about Cache Control, and wanted to know if ActionTiles was configured to present media in a format that blocked caching, so that the loading page would never try to open the file from cache, or even store the file to cache.

I'm no expert, so I apologise if I'm going over ground already covered.

when I "curl" the address of my panel, I don't see the suggested content headers (although I know my curl isn't logged in to the panel)

Cheers,

Adam

Anyway I can stream my mobotix cameras to a media tile?
