Re: IP Camera Viewer v4.0 with RTSP/ONVIF support released

Thanks for the details.  Not applicable to my particular case, but knowing that h.264 links might be a problem for the Roku could be helpful in general.

Re: IP Camera Viewer v4.0 with RTSP/ONVIF support released

If anybody has further issues or details about ONVIF with this channel, please speak up.  I have one Amcrest and five Yi Hack Allwinner Yi Home 1080P cams that are ONVIF detected by the different Android IP Camera Viewer Pro and work fine in that app.  Only the Amcrest works in this Roku channel, it never sees the others and won't accept them on multiple manual config attempts.

This project is looking very impressive I will suggest you to move forward on this thinking and make it possible I am also working on the camera projects.

Excellent app. I was able to setup my tower PTZ camera in about 10 minutes and display it on my TV through my Roku. The PTZ movement also works great with the Roku remote. If your looking for improvement ideas, might add the camera event I/O to the app, so can do simple home automation. Example, now, I switch to the correct input on my TV with a voice command from my google home, but would be sweet to use the camera I/O to automatically do that. I could see that being a great feature for home automation.

Did not work for me.

Only seems to work with http, not rtsp urls which are what most of my cameras are.
I've read a lot of complaints but never any reply from the author. Maybe I missed them?

I also notice that the help screens are never the same as the ones I see on the roku, even when making sure that the app is updated.

Re: IP Camera Viewer v4.0 with RTSP/ONVIF support released

Is this project dead?

I tried to add the channel, but nothing happened. I fiddled around and copy pasted the link through and it did finally work.

The "add" link seems to be very oddly formatted: 

https://my.roku.com/add/IPCAMVIEWBASIC results in a code that looks like 

IPCAMVIEWPRO:p3lq3gtf]https

which does not seem right.

I've had this for well over a year and never able to use it. It works with only one camera, a simple http IP camera, no others and I've tried several.

Well, he’s not getting any of my money until I see him active here. It’s only $5, but I’m not paying for something I don’t know will work. Abandonware is never worth anything.

How about an update on the project @ioan ?

The application works fine for me and many users and is not "abandonware". Majority that have problems are trying to use cheap no-name cameras that only has h264/h265 streams. IP Camera Viewer only supports jpeg encoded streams (mjpeg, rtsp), or snapshots directly, or, with extra hardware, supports h264 streams too: https://github.com/e1ioan/rokuphp

Also, there is a Basic version which is free, if you want to test it with your cameras, use that version.
