Display images as camera #43

Closed holocronology closed 2 years ago

There are two branches that have forked off this. Both are geared towards displaying an image as a camera, rather than a website. This leads to a few questions:

  1. Do these branches still require the chromium install for homebridge?
  2. Can the features be rolled into this one plug-in?
  3. If yes to the above, can it be done with an option to NOT install chromium?

Thanks.

  1. Nope, chromium is required to get a screenshot of a website.
  2. Yes, I like the idea of displaying an image!
  3. chromium has to be installed independent of that plugin anyway so yes, that can be possible

Actually this should work out of the box... instead of the URL you just have to provide the full path to the image!
