Monitor stays on

[SdeGeata]

I just installed your module, used the config as is from the read me. Modified for PiCam and rebooted, but nothing happens - the monitor just stays on. Any suggestions?

[rejas]

did you turn on the UI of the module? If yes, did it measure any score? can you see if there are any errors on the console?

[SdeGeata]

When you say "turn on" do you mean drop the module in the config.js? If so, yes. I see the debug output on the screen - nothing important it would seem though. It looks like the screen-shot attached, and output never changes.

[rejas]

okay, so the module is loaded :-) have you followed the steps in the README on how to enable the pi cam ?

[SdeGeata]

Yup, did that too.

[rejas]

Can you enable the developer tools on your electron instance and look for errors ?

[SdeGeata]

Electron?

[rejas]

Thats the UI Window MagicMirror runs in :-)

[SdeGeata]

The error found in Developer tools:

`MMM-MotionDetector.js:76 MMM-MotionDetector: DiffCamEngine init failed. NotReadableError: Could not start video source initErrorCallback @ MMM-MotionDetector.js:76

`

[rejas]

Last question :-) What adress is your MM running on?

[SdeGeata]

192.168.1.108

[rejas]

Thats the one in your config.JS? Because my module only runs in localhost or https URLs since Elektron demands that for camera access

[SdeGeata]

Ah, gimme a sec...

yup, set to localhost.

[rejas]

Grmpf.. Now I am stuck, since I dont habe a pi cam to actually test my module against. Could only add more debugging to it. Could you post your whole console output to this ticket? Will take a look at it later...

[rejas]

Got to admit that I cant help you from here, that pi cam doesnt seem to work. Maybe @rev138 who provided the original fix for the pi cam can help here?

[rev138]

@SdeGeata : Can you run this is and post the output?

sudo lsmod | grep bcm2835-v4l2

[rev138]

Another thought -- make sure the camera is connected to the right port. There are two identical looking connectors on the board. One's for the camera, the other isn't. I've made that mistake :)

[SdeGeata]

Hello rev138;

I ran your command line, no output in terminal and nothing changed in MM. Same output from the developer tools:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) MMM-MotionDetector.js:76 MMM-MotionDetector: DiffCamEngine init failed. NotReadableError: Could not start video source initErrorCallback @ MMM-MotionDetector.js:76

As far as the camera port; I am indeed connected to the correct one. It is already bing used effectively for MotionEye.

[SdeGeata]

I appear to have gotten it to work! I am troubleshooting some issues with MMM-Facial-Recognition-OCV3 and I turned off the Motion-Detection module as well as MotionEye to see what would happen. No change in the one I was troubleshooting for, but i turned back of MMM-MotionDetector and suddenly got output on the debug. I waited 2 minutes and the monitor shut off!

So it would seem I can't use the same camera for MMM-MotionDetector and MotionEye? Do you think there's a work-around for this conflict, or should I just get a second camera module?

[SdeGeata]

I would like to know however, how do I hide the debug info now while the module is running?

[rejas]

Sorry for being not responsive @SdeGeata your issue got buried :-( As for the conflict between this module and motioneye I cant help you with any new ideas To hide the debug info, you just have to remove the line "position: ...." you have in your config under the MMM-MotionDetector settings.

[airart]

great job, I wanted to know if it's possible to go to sleep with a clock module and not turn off the monitor. the final goal is to put a clock module as a screensaver and wake up the MM with the ps3cam that works well

[rejas]

Thx for the praise @airart BUt I dont understand your question or what you want to do. Could you open new issue for that and rephrase it please?
