Display HTTP Image point in DGLux
-
Does anybody know if it is possible to display an HTTP Image point from a webcam in DGLux? It doesn't seem to appear in the station tree as a point.
Cheers,

I don't think this is possible but there is a webcam widget in DGLux that you might be able to bring your image directly into.

Thanks for the speedy reply Joel,
That's a shame. I was hoping I could use the persistent sync to transfer the images from the mangoES onsite to our server and have the images available on DGLux. This would mean we wouldn't have to make the webcam web accessible.Cheers,

That's really interesting idea. Did the image transfer work over the persistent TCP publisher? I've never tried that before. The images should be stored on disk as file so you might be able to make a symbolic link onto the DGLux module directory so that DGLux could then have access to the images.
You might also need to write some sort of script to put the most current image name into a text file or csv file for DGLux to read so it knows what image to pull in.
Basically i'm thinking it could be possible if you can get the files to the main server but it might not be easy.

I haven't tried using the Persistent sync yet. I was hoping it would just work. We have a VPN connection between server and mangoES so I could save the images directly to the ES using the webcam software and transfer them over the VPN. DGLux could then grab the images from a folder on the server. User permissions could be an issue though.
I guess the other option would be tunneling the webcam through the ES and over the VPN.Matt.

I've just tried the persistent sync and the point doesn't appear in the points list so it's time for plan B.

Ok, that's what I expected.

I've managed to get my webcam images into Mango on the main server using the VPN and a bit of port forwarding. Is it possible to get an image out of a Mango image data point into DGLux? Could I embed a Mango graphical view in DGLux? The webcam is accessible to the Mango server but is not accessible from the web so all images or streams must be proxied by the server.
Matt.
