Prevent Machinery from crashing due not beeing able to connect to camera "Feature suggestion" #19

Closed lexustec closed 3 years ago

lexustec commented 3 years ago

I experienced that the machinery is crashing if the camera can not be reached or similar.

in pseudo programming i suggest the following:

try { open camera stream with settings: settings.xml } catch (error) { if error == connection failed or not found { put error to log and say sorry create dummy stream with tiny loop video on 8889 } else{

something else happened, spam the logz

}

}

This is extremely helpfull also while buildimng up the Network. especially in container environments.... ( network routing issues) You can fire up the container and check if You actually see a stream on 8889 without connecting the cam.

greetings

Thomas

we'll take that into account in new release (this repo). The issue however is related to kerberos-io/machinery. Thanks @lexustec
