not working

This is what the command line says after configure and launch it:

pi@pi2recepcion /usr/local/bin/rpisurv $ python surveillance.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "surveillance.py", line 12, in from config import cfg File "/usr/local/bin/rpisurv/config.py", line 4, in cfg = yaml.load(ymlfile) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/init.py", line 71, in load return loader.get_single_data() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/constructor.py", line 37, in get_single_data node = self.get_single_node() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 36, in get_single_node document = self.compose_document() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 55, in compose_document node = self.compose_node(None, None) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 84, in compose_node node = self.compose_mapping_node(anchor) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 133, in compose_mapping_node item_value = self.compose_node(node, item_key) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 84, in compose_node node = self.compose_mapping_node(anchor) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 133, in compose_mapping_node item_value = self.compose_node(node, item_key) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/composer.py", line 64, in compose_node if self.check_event(AliasEvent): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/parser.py", line 98, in check_event self.current_event = self.state() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/parser.py", line 449, in parse_block_mapping_value if not self.check_token(KeyToken, ValueToken, BlockEndToken): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/scanner.py", line 116, in check_token self.fetch_more_tokens() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/yaml/scanner.py", line 257, in fetch_more_tokens % ch.encode('utf-8'), self.get_mark()) yaml.scanner.ScannerError: while scanning for the next token found character '\t' that cannot start any token in "conf/surveillance.yml", line 8, column 1

Please, tell me what to do.

Thanks

Hi thanks for testing it out, there seems to be a problem with your config file. You seem to use a "tab" character where it shouldn't be used. (line 8, column 1)

Please run the following command and post results here (but remove passwords in output first): cat -A /etc/rpisurv

Alternatively validate the config file by pasting it here:

http://codebeautify.org/yaml-validator and click validate

Sorry for the delay, it was that, the tab character. Once corrected, it works like a charm.

One question, do the system reconnect every x mins to avoid time delay in the images?

One of the log files (system.log I think), is filling with logs every minute. Sometime it will fulfill the sd card, can it be deactivated once everything runs smoothly?

Regards

Hi,

I assume you mean this log: /usr/local/bin/rpisurv/logs/main.log? Currently the default setting for logging is debug mode for ease of troubleshooting. This shouldn't fill the SDcard since the logs will be rotated by default, however it seems to not do this at the moment. The cause is a wrong value for maxBytes in the configuration for the logging.

Please change

    filename: logs/main.log
    maxBytes: 1e6
    backupCount: 10

to

    filename: logs/main.log
    maxBytes: 1000000
    backupCount: 10

in the /usr/local/bin/rpisurv/conf/logging.yml config file to have the log file rotated when it reaches 1Mb in size. I will update the default value in the git repo also.

Secondly: You can always disable DEBUG mode logging by changing

loggers: l_default: level: DEBUG handlers:

• h_console
• h_rotfile propagate: False

to

loggers: l_default: level: INFO handlers:

• h_console
• h_rotfile propagate: False

again in the /usr/local/bin/rpisurv/conf/logging.yml config file

One question, do the system reconnect every x mins to avoid time delay in the images?

The system checks every 25 seconds if the streams you defined in the config file are still connectable. If a (or more) previous unconnectable streams become available or one or more streams become unavailable it will redraw the screen with the connectable cams

Next to this the system checks every 5 seconds if the omxplayer process per stream is still running. If not it will try to restart the omxplayer process for that stream only. This is especially handy for low budget ip cameras which tend to crash the omxplayer process now and then.
