Perspective Video Player Live Feed

Ignition

I'm trying to show a live video feed from a Reolink camera. I know that the Video player component doesn't use rtsp video feeds so I am trying to use the http url to display the feed. Right now the only feed i can display is a still jpeg

the url is

http://(IPaddress)/cgi-bin/api.cgi?cmd=Snap&channel=0&rs=wuuPhkmUCeI9WG7C&user=****&password=*****

Does anyone know of a url to show the mpeg feed? If not, is there a way to set the url to update every second? I thought maybe having a tag with the current time and adding to the random numbers and letters in the url so it refreshes the feed as the clock counts on but i got no results. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Urls in my experience are quite specific to the camera being used but you could use this feed to get an idea of what works.

In terms of getting th stream to update at a one second rate you could create a custom property that either has a tag or expression that updates every one second and then create a property change script that calls refreshBinding() on the Video Player Source property. You will need to have the Source property bound to something in stead of staticly defining the url.

Hope this points you in the right direction :blush:
