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)

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

I’m trying to get my D-Links into ActionTiles and not sure which URL to use.  Shouldn’t it be one of these?  I’m not sure which URL to even use out of 1-4.

D-Link DCS-943L

I am able to view the camera feed in my ActionTiles panels on my MacBook and iPad but not on Fire HD tablet using Fully Kiosk.

I have tried a few different formats and this is what works:

IP:port/video.cgi?&user=XXXX&pwd=XXXXX

The error I get when editing the URL in My Media on the tablet is 'Enter valid URL to preview video stream.'

I tested it and was able to view the cam feed using the same URL in the Silk browser on the Fire tablet.

Also, it worked when I accessed if from My Shortcuts in AT (opened in a new screen not in a panel) however it required my username and password even though the URL contained that info.

Three other cams (Foscam FI8910W) work fine on all devices.

Any suggestions?

I have a Linksys WVC80N video camera.  I can view the video in a tile on my PC and iOS device.  But on an Android Nook with Chrome browser, the video feed does not work, most likely as it won't let me add a username and password. 

I can access the video via URL, if I could pass the username:password.  How do I use a URL like:  http://username:pwd@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/img/video.mjpeg ?  the ActionTiles media tile won't let me use this syntax.

Hi, I would like to know how I can stream Dahua IP camera in IOS?

I am looking for a recommendation. I am building a new house and want to add a real-time video stream of my front porch. Ideally, this would flow from an internal IP address to my Action Tiles app and not consume external bandwidth.

The house comes with a Ring Pro doorbell which would have been ideal since it is hardwired, but I know the proprietary nature prevents this.

I have a set of Alro Pro cameras but now realize this is not an option.

Can someone recommend a low-cost Wifi IP camera that can be hardwired for power, and gives me the ability to stream video real time to Action Tiles? Preferably that I can interface directly with the app via IP address and doesn't need to flow outside the LAN to interface.

I am thinking something like this:

I like the night vision capability

or http://bit.ly/2B961Sr

I like the PTZ capability but not sure if ActionTiles would support this?

Thanks for the guidance!

Hello Everyone,

First this is my first post as I'm new here and doing the trial for ActionTiles now, but I'll keep as I liked it.

I'm migrating all my lights from Wink to Smartthings only for this App "ActionTiles", so I want to say thanks for create this. Also I just got a spare Android Tablet that I'm looking the way to install in my wall to Replace the WinkRelay. I know that maybe not all my lights maybe will not me compatible buy I'll be doing my best. Thanks Again for ActionTiles.

Now to my question:

I have a Outdoor Light called HOMSCAM Outdoor Video Security Camera that I got couple weeks ago and work good in the app were I can see the camera live in the Phone and also I can download the Recorded Videos/Pictures, so I want to know if someone was able to add to as Tile or if someone think that maybe is possible to add as I'm really interested in add as Tile.

Thanks again for create this.

I'm adding a screenshot of my ActionTiles, remember, I just started couple days ago, and still pending add all my others lights

Regards,

Jose Bourdier

so I can’t figure out how to add media. I got to weather websites. Go to radar and copy web address. Paste it in my media and it says it’s invalid. I’ve right clicked it to try and get url with no luck. I live in central Florida if anyone can help me

Hi,

Is there a way to show this site in actiontiles as an image that is updated? It shows the local traffic departures close to my house.

Images in tiles shouldn't be stretched to fit the width and height of the tile. Rather, they should either fill the tile with a width of 100% OR a height of 100% but not both. See below... Weather map, web camera, weather forecast, and travel time are all stretched out of their original/native proportion.

Also:

In the case of the weather map and web camera, a tile proportion of 3:2 is not the same as the image proportion of 4:3.

Hi there,

I've recently purchased an actiontiles license, and I've got my dashboards set up mostly the way I want them, but I'd really like to get my 3 camera feeds on my dashboards.  My cameras are wired with coax cable (wired them up when the house was under construction) and currently hook into a Nuvico Apex NVR.  I know this won't work because to view the cameras in a browser you have to log in to the nuvico applet thing...it doesn't accept credentials in a web address.

What I want to know is, is there some NVR I can purchase that will take my wired coax camera feeds and spit them out onto the interwebs in an mjpeg format that actiontiles can handle?  That would be the ideal solution for me...just replace my NVR with something that will work.

If that doesn't work, I see there's some talk about Blue Iris and how if you turn off security within your network you can see the cameras, so that might be a viable solution, but then I'm picking up a windows computer to use.

Otherwise I have to get new cameras?  Searching around the forums here, a lot of the info is old and there aren't really any clear answers that I can find.  I'd love some insight if anyone has a line on an NVR that would work for me.

By the way, I'm running actiontiles in Fully on some 7" kindle fires.

I would love to find a way to get this integrated into a media tile - Any one know of the best way to parse frames into a media tile.

I have multiple arlo wireless cameras set up and I’d like to see an updated snapshot every 10-15min on my AT interface...

Is anyone else getting live action delay of about 10 seconds with their camera or is it just Amcrest? No problem otherwise...

Currently "view only" is available to other tile types under tile security, however i think this should be an option for Media Tiles, as it could be used to disable the Zoom function if desired.

I'd like to make my Media Tiles not do anything when tapped.

Hey All,

Is it possible to have a tile that controls chromecast audio volume. It wouldn't need to select songs or anytjibg like that, just control volume. This would make it perfect for a whole home audio setup.

I have 2 media tiles, 1 is a weather radar from a local tv station, the other is a gif from my camera that updates every second. They used to work fine, but for the last couple weeks or so they go back and forth between working and a loading screen. 2nd screenshot shows an example of the loading screen. It happens to both the weather and camera tiles. It seems fairly random. They can both work fine for an hour or pretty much flicker between the image and loading screen. Any idea what is going on?
