I have a an ONVIF camera thing with a ffmpeg connection works perfect when added to a widget in a Layout page, however when it does not work when added to a Sitemap page. When using MyOpenhab app I can see the camera image in Layout, but is just show a blank box on Sitemap.
This was working fine for prior version, but the problem started with the OpenHab 5x visions
any ideas on how to fix this?
I found a not too elegant way around, but it works. The issue is that the Sitemap Image widget does not resolve the full http address of the item. Instead, it only transfers the half the link. The way around is instead of using the link with the item, you enter the full URL the URL field, leaving the item link bank.
The URL should be:
http://[YOUR OPENHAB IP]:[YOU OPENHAB PORT]/ipcamera/{YOUR ITEM ID]/ipcamera.jpg
and the set a refresh rate if you want the image to update. The widget is not too solid as it flickers between images. In the past it didn’t. It over imposes the new image over the old, now it deletes it and show the next, creating a flickering effect. Hopefully that will be fixed in new updates.
