No picture in camera

[RienduPre]

Hi,

I use a homebridge on a RPi. Chromium is running fine and I can open url's on the desktop of the RPi.
I see no related errors in the log, just some initialization messages, which seems to be normal

When I add a camera I see
[website-camera] Starting new instance of Chromium: /usr/bin/chromium-browser
[website-camera] Chromium started
[website-camera] Opening new page

For both of the camera's

The problem is that there is no web page shown in the homekit app.

Thank you for any help you can give me
Rien

I'll have a look

Any clues yet?

Sorry for the delay... My homebridge on RPi3 crashed and the one running on RPi Zero is to weak for chromium.. Currently struggeling setting up a new Homebridge on the Pi 3, my iPhone won't find it.. But I'm on it!

For me everything works fine with a fresh installation...
Log Output looks like this:

What website are you calling? Is it a RPi 3?

Hi,

I use an RPi 3

See below my config.json part of the plugin

{
"platform": "website-camera",
"cameras": [
{
"name": "Google Maps Traffic",
"url": "http://google.com",
"height": 1334,
"width": 750
},
{
"name": "Google Maps Traffic #2",
"url": "http://google.com",
"scale": 1
}
]
}

Can you (first stop and then) start homebridge manually with "homebridge -D" and the open the Home App (so a refresh is triggered) and the provide the log output?

[werthdavid]

Another idea would be to add the path of the Chromium-executable:

config.json

"platforms": [
         {
         "platform": "website-camera",
         "cameras": [
            {
               "name": "Website 1",
               "url": "http://maps.google.com",
               "chromiumPath": "/usr/bin/chromium-browser"
            }
         ]
      }
  ]

Hi,
Sorry for the late response.
With debug on, there is no more logging than the ones I see in normal mode.
Specifying the chromium path does not have any effect either.

Hey,
so I found a Bug with puppeteer
puppeteer/puppeteer#1409

I'll release a new version for you

[werthdavid]

Please install 1.2.2 and try again!

Issue is solved !!
Thank you very much.
