Hello

I'm a new Logo! user and I want to integrate an IP camera stream in Logo! web server
My camera (Reolink) deliver a rtsp stream as rtsp://user:password@192.168.0.xxx/Preview_01_main

As explained in LWE manual, a rtsp stream cannot be directly integrated in Logo's web server 
To transcode it I don't want to use VLC on a Windows server as I don't want to have a PC running 24/24.

I have an Ubuntu headless server at home, so I tried to use it to transcode the camera stream. 
I've tested many solutions without success:

1. Transcode to HLS (m3u8 / ts) using ffmpeg and publish the stream using Apache
   The stream produced is perfectly readable with a web browser but with LWE I receive an error “Format not supported”
2. Transcode to to MP4 H.264 “progressive” with ffmpeg
   Pseudo-live is not supported by Logo!
3. Transcode to OGG / WebM / MJPEG using FFmpeg and a Python pipe
   Error in LWE due (?) to the fact that Python cannot produce a properly muxed HTTP live stream for Logo!
4. Transcode using “MJPG-Streamer”
   Not a success as it is incompatible with my camera model on Ubuntu
5. Use VLC headless on Linux to transcode to Theora/Vorbis or MJPEG → HTTP
   VLC Linux does not support this camera’s RTSP and video stream cannot be read (audio is OK)

Do you have any successful practice with such a situation?
Thanks in advance

Hello AutoGen,

HTML is essentially just a list of instructions for the browser to execute the commands. Since LWE only implements a portion of HTML's capabilities, I've made some graphical changes externally in the past and transferred them to the Logo via LWE.

Every project created with LWE is also saved as a complete HTML page in the project folder. Since HTML allows the browser to be instructed to download files (e.g., images) from other servers, it should be possible to direct the browser to the camera. Unfortunately, LWE doesn't offer these options.

This modification would then have to be done externally using an HTML editor or the browser's built-in editor.Once this code snippet is running, you would upload the modified project back to LWE, make a small change there (such as loading an image and then immediately deleting it, or moving some text), so that LWE registers it. Then you would transfer this page to the Logo.

I've already made a few minor adjustments this way. I'll link your example here.

Unfortunately, my HTML skills are very rudimentary, so I can't help you with the code for integrating an IP camera.

That's more of a job for an HTML specialist.

Or try Node-RED, IObroker, etc. You'll have more work building an external site, but you'll have more options and it will be much faster to set up.
