Hi,

I use a homebridge on a RPi. Chromium is running fine and I can open url's on the desktop of the RPi. I see no related errors in the log, just some initialization messages, which seems to be normal

When I add a camera I see [website-camera] Starting new instance of Chromium: /usr/bin/chromium-browser [website-camera] Chromium started [website-camera] Opening new page

For both of the camera's

The problem is that there is no web page shown in the homekit app.

I'll have a look

RienduPre commented 5 years ago

Any clues yet?

werthdavid commented 5 years ago

Sorry for the delay... My homebridge on RPi3 crashed and the one running on RPi Zero is to weak for chromium.. Currently struggeling setting up a new Homebridge on the Pi 3, my iPhone won't find it.. But I'm on it!

For me everything works fine with a fresh installation... Log Output looks like this: [2/18/2019, 12:41:13 PM] [website-camera] identify [2/18/2019, 12:41:19 PM] [website-camera] Starting new instance of Chromium: /usr/bin/chromium-browser [2/18/2019, 12:41:28 PM] [website-camera] Chromium started [2/18/2019, 12:41:28 PM] [website-camera] Opening new page [2/18/2019, 12:41:29 PM] [website-camera] Setting Viewport to 960x540 [2/18/2019, 12:41:29 PM] [website-camera] Going to page: http://github.com [2/18/2019, 12:41:32 PM] [website-camera] Created screenshot [2/18/2019, 12:41:32 PM] [website-camera] Got screenshot

What website are you calling? Is it a RPi 3?

RienduPre commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I use an RPi 3

See below my config.json part of the plugin

{ "platform": "website-camera", "cameras": [ { "name": "Google Maps Traffic", "url": "http://google.com", "height": 1334, "width": 750 }, { "name": "Google Maps Traffic #2", "url": "http://google.com", "scale": 1 } ] }

Can you (first stop and then) start homebridge manually with "homebridge -D" and the open the Home App (so a refresh is triggered) and the provide the log output?

werthdavid commented 5 years ago

Another idea would be to add the path of the Chromium-executable:

config.json

"platforms": [
         {
         "platform": "website-camera",
         "cameras": [
            {
               "name": "Website 1",
               "url": "http://maps.google.com",
               "chromiumPath": "/usr/bin/chromium-browser"
            }
         ]
      }
  ]

Hi, Sorry for the late response. With debug on, there is no more logging than the ones I see in normal mode. Specifying the chromium path does not have any effect either.

Hey, so I found a Bug with puppeteer https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/1409

I'll release a new version for you

werthdavid commented 5 years ago

Please install 1.2.2 and try again!
