This might even be a good candidate for a oh-swiper-card with several oh-image-card as slides.
It’s better to have all images of the same dimensions in this case, or it will look weird.
I have not tried but my guess is it should be possible if you use CSS to change the background color. To do this see the examples above at how CSS is used after style:
If the background color matches then you don’t see it.
Yes if you use the ipcamera binding and the widget in this post it should work. I can only guess that there may be an issue with embedded credentials not being supported. It was removed from the http spec due to security concerns and more and more software is removing it so hence the binding is needed.
Updated the first post to have an improved widget that displays better across devices and now can switch an item or bring up all the controls for the camera with overlaid buttons.
Once you click to open the video, there doesn’t seem to be any way to close it on a PC. On my phone I found swiping away makes it cose. But on the PC there is no way to close the pop-up video I can see.
There are URL fields but no way to use an IP Camera Binding channel? Or am I missing something?
Click anywhere outside the pop up window and it will return back to your UI page.
Yes done deliberately so people who don’t want to use the binding can use it as well. It could also be static pictures and not even a camera. If you don’t want URLs you can use the PTZ version and modify it to your needs as that one does not use the URLs.
I’ve had a play with “Add Metadata” --> “Image Card” as follows and the image does appear when I put in the URL but goes back to the Grey Box after I hit save.
I have the same type of setup as your camera setting and I see you got it working with the ipcamera binding and image card. Did you just set up port and mjpegUrl or did you have to set up a serverPort and address it with the openhab ip as opposed to camera ip?
