Does anyone know if this plugin works with Sage v6? I've been successful at importing it into v5, but when I try with v6 nothing seems to happen?

Wheemer · #**145** 11-04-2006, 10:15 PM

works perfectly for me...

What version of SageTV are you using? I think version 6.0.13 has a problem with imports not sticking...

As geogecko said there is a bug in v6.0.13 that doesn't save the changes to the stv. There are several ways to get around it that have been posted in the forums.

I just wanted to tell others one way in which I use this custom in my setup. I have a computer with web cam setup so the webcam watches the front door enterance at my house. This computer is using free software that will take a snapshot if the image changes. I use DIRMON2 to detect the new image and then use yac to send a message to the server to display the image. This works great for me because when I am watching the box I seldom can hear the door bell. When someone arrives at my door what ever I am watching pauses and I get to see who is at the door.

I would like to know if NIELM could add to his plugin another type of caller that might not seem that the call is coming from the phone. The "@CALL" has canned meesage attached. Maybe a "@CAM1,2,3" with cusomizable messages and picture mapping just like the phone meesages.

I am very pleased with the how well this works

. Keep up the good work.

I am currently taking the plunge into studio to try to put something together that:

1) detects an incoming command from girder
then;

2) displays the video stream from my front door IP Cam.
3) gives me a button to return to the previous playing program.

The learning process is taking some time.

I'm currently having trouble with finding the proper "hook" to trigger the script. I haven't been able to get sage to switch to the IP cam steam and render it yet either. The stream is mpeg4.

If anybody's got some ideas or some sample code clips to achieve this... It'd be greatly appreciated. And I'm buried in the Studio manual, but the tutorial was good.

I'll have more questions over at the Studio Forum fer sure.

Thanks in advance,

Wirenut

I have been using this caller id plugin for over a year and it works great. Is there a way to change the notepad file to enter the newest calls on the top of the page so I don't have to scroll down to bottom?

Thanks.

Could you give me more details on how you got the webcam on the door to work?

Wirenut · #**154** 02-01-2007, 12:37 PM

Still very theoretical... I'm still working out the coding and SageTV Studio has put a lot on my plate to digest.

I've got an IP camera setup on my front door. It has a built in webserver. The camera is a aviosys IPKamera 9060 [79bucks US], which streams over lan, motion video at or around 30fps with sound [I haven't used audio yet]. I have a home automation software package, Hall 2000, and motion detection on the front door.

Basically, the Hal software detects the motion, fires a command in girder, that triggers a screen in SageTV. Here's where I'm havin' trouble in Studio... I have to render the stream from the camera's IP address. eg.. http://192.168.0.100:8080... so anyway, I haven't got this to happen as of yet. I'm still pluggin' away at Studio. [I have nil experience with this language] The camera stream is an mpeg4. Seems like this should work for video. I have been working on backwards engineering the Google Video section for rendering this stream from the cam. I haven't had much time to work with it, so perhaps this weekend.

What I'm closer to make happen is; Having the motion sensor trigger Hal2000 to grab a still image, save it to a directory, have Hal2000 trigger a command in girder, triggering a screen in SageTV to render the still. This has worked for me a few times. It's a timing issue, and I think I can easily get this smoothed out with some tinkering.

The IP camera has built in motion detection which might make this work as a stand alone connection, without Hal software. [pretty sure it can ftp a still image to a directory on any computer on the lan] In other words, I believe this all can be done without Hal2000... but I use it, and it has a Digital Video Center that can do basic image acquisition for security cams. For me, having that software take care of the triggering is easier. Perhaps I'll try to work directly from the camera into Sage. I dunno.

Anyhow, this is still a work in progress.

The link to the download is broken on the wiki. Anyone?

MTuckman · #**156** 02-18-2007, 11:31 AM

Wirenut,

have you looked into seeing if there is a way of setting up the camera as a network encoder? This may be out there, but that might me an option.

Then set up a listener that would change to the "channel" of the network encoder and display the input stream.

Just a thought...

I'm having some difficulty getting the caller id popup plugin to work. I'm trying to get it done in SageMCE 16x9, so I renamed the .stvi file to an .xml file before loading the plugin. (I'm running this on a Client, btw). For testing purposes, I also loaded a yac listener on the box. Sending a test phone call from the yac server, the standard yac listener works as designed. The plugin, not so much. I don't even get any popup running yactester.jar. Any insight on what I might be doing wrong?

DIBU · #**158** 06-14-2007, 01:42 AM

this plugin works sometimes well, but in most of time i see no popup on my mvp's. the yac popup on my server in the taskbar works very well.

and the wiki is broken..

I have Vonage and assume I could get this plugin to work if I buy a modem and plug it in... but since everything is coming over IP anyway, anyone know of a way to do this using VoIP?? It would be great to have CallerID popup displayed on any Sage computer currently in use...

elaw · #**160** 06-21-2007, 01:28 PM

Hey, all you folks using this plugin... anyone using a USB modem (preferably a cheap one) with YAC?

My "YAC server" seems to have become full of TV tuner cards, leaving no room for the modem.
