File Pathing #6

Closed daveHounds closed 5 years ago

daveHounds commented 5 years ago

Loaded ui_media node successfully. Setup node per your instructions. Preview would not show anything. Saved settings. Whenever I reopen the media node, node-red crashes. Last attached image shows the file path location, it looks correct to me per your discussion and instructions. Yet node-red seems to be crashing with a pathing issue.

I am not strong with software and do not understand the node-red error information. Could you please review attached images and help to fix?

Greetings, Thank your for your report. We'll take a look into it.

Could you export your flow for us?

Not much of a flow :) Just imported your node and was learning how to use it in a project.

daveHounds commented 5 years ago

I messed up. Going to redo the export. Copied my "playing" with your node to a virgin/new project and it lost all of the file setup data. Dah! I will get my actual flow. Still a one-node flow.

@steuck13 have you been able to look at my problem? Any advise?

steuck13 commented 5 years ago

Greetings, Sorry for the delay, I've been very busy at work. So, I think I've fixed your problem on the new release. I just published it to npm, if some other problems arise, please report to us.

Thank you

daveHounds commented 5 years ago

@steuck13 I updated your media node and got a partial fix. Thank you.

Node-red does not crash anymore when I enter/open your node and the pathing errors are gone. I see the jpg picture in the node's properties file preview (see below).

However, the jpg picture does NOT show in the nr-dashboard. All I get is your ICON. I get some new info in the console when the flow is started (see below). This was not there before. And an old error message is still appearing (see below). Note, the "tout" error is logged exactly every 4 minutes after start of the flow.

File was found and previewed

Greeetings Could you provided us with the whole node-red log and a screenshot of your dashboard.

Thank you

@steuck13 I stated an error I have been observing was caused by your media_node. NOT true! My mistake. 3 Jun 09:44:46 - [error] [trigger:a0146cda.203598] TypeError: Cannot read property 'tout' of undefined Please disregard this issue. It is not your issue, its mine.

daveHounds commented 5 years ago

I sent you the requested data. @steuck13 have you been able to look at my problem? Any advise?

steuck13 commented 5 years ago

Greetings, I'm currently having trouble reproducing your problem. I've done a fresh install on Windows 8 (I believe the windows version should not be a problem here) and all worked properly.

I'm still looking into it.

daveHounds commented 5 years ago

Thanks for the feedback.  Going on vacation for a few days.  Back on Monday.  I will try to provide you addition info then, if I can find any.

I would really like to get your widget working.  I could do lots with it.

Dave

I have a similar problem when I changed the host admin address and ui path. I noticed this from @daveHounds :

10 Jun 06:58:30 - [info] Dashboard version 2.15.4 started at /red/ui 10 Jun 06:58:31 - [info] Server now running at http://127.0.0.1:1880/red/

These are not default address of node-red, and in my project my Server now running at http://localhost, changed port 1880 to 80, and the editor is running at http://localhost/admin. After changing the host address (different from default), the ui-meida pattle can not display media on dashboard. After some tests, I found this problem is not about ui path, it is just because the admin address is changed, so could you please fix this, to make ui-media display media properly even the Server admin address is changed. The same problem as issue #5 Thank you!

gfcittolin commented 5 years ago

Hi, thanks for your report. I've just published version 1.1.2 that should have this issue and some others I've found out while fixing this one. Could you please test it out and report whether this has been really fixed? Thanks!

su600 commented 5 years ago

Sorry, I update ui_media to version1.1.2, my problem still not fixed... I run a new docker of Node-Red, installed ui_media then change the the editor address to http://localhost/admin, picture broken. I also try change http://localhost/admin first, then install the ui_media, also broken. What's the relationship between the admin address and ui_media? Why the admin address changing influence the media display? Please do more test, hope to fix this, thank you!

gfcittolin commented 5 years ago

This configuration affects ui_media because the node has to serve the images to be displayed by the dashboard, and this is part of the stack offered by Node-RED. So if this configuration is changed, the URL we have available for serving the media content also changes, therefore we need to consider that.

Changing the image by message was working, but the default image display was still indeed wrong. Version 1.1.3 has been just published which should fix this issue. Please test it out in your environment.

su600 commented 5 years ago

It works ! I have tested version 1.1.3，this problem fixed, good job!
