Channels & viewing

[jpcleveland]

Would love to see:
1. Some more grid options to show more cameras - up to 9 would be ideal.
2. Have the grid move the cameras around every minute or so to save the screen.  Some of my cameras have minimal movement.
3. The grid / multi-view in the screensaver.

Great work on this!

Just adding some context.  Got my Amcrest cameras working - I saw that these looked to be a little tougher than others from previous posts.  I'm using IP8M-2493EW.

I've got my Raspberry Pi configured to stream 4 cameras.  The Pro app has been configured with the Pi IP address and it found and imported all 4 cameras.  I can stream each of these cameras individually, but when I try to use them in grid view or in the screen saver they don't show up.  The only cameras that show up there to select are ones that I add manually without going through the Pi.  Is it possible to use these Raspberry Pi cameras in the grid view?

Roku doesn't support playing multiple video streams, so is not possible to have grid view.

Roku doesn't support playing multiple video streams,  so is not possible to have grid view.

Then how does the Grid view work if multiple streams aren't supported?

The grid view works with mjpeg stream (basically jpeg images pushed fast by the camera). When you are getting a video stream from the raspberry pi, that is a h264 stream and roku can only play one of those at the time.

Does IP Camera Viewer support deep linking? I'd like to get my Roku to go straight to the feed of my front door camera.

Thanks!

Not yet, but I'll add it in a future update.

I am trying to get a Reolink 410 camera working with ip camera viewer?  I am new to using Roku and security cameras but I would like to be able to see my camera on my tv through Roku.  I have tried many of the ideas from the forum but cant get it going, maybe it's not possible.  It has no problem in the phone app, the computer app or on ispy. I just can t seem to figure out how to configure it on ip camera viewer in Roku. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I don't think the Reolink cameras support mjpeg. You can try using the snapshot url:
https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/ar ... ink-Camera

In IP Camera help it explains how to use a URL that has login and password in it.

I feel I'm getting real close to getting this to work for my rebranded HIKvision cameras (Alibi).

I can use the following URL via google chrome to stream the mjpeg substream:
http://user:password@ip/Streaming/channels/102/httppreview
 
So I tried setting up the stream url with no luck as:
{0}:{1}@ip/Streaming/channels/102/httppreview

I hoped IP camera viewer would just supply the http:// and then my stream url.  no dice.

Is there any way to supply a complete custom url or at least get it to format it as I did for chrome?

Thanks,
Ron
