Camera display
« on: February 27, 2017, 08:30:34 PM »
I have an ip security camera connected to my raspberry pi. I can view the live stream by typing ip address in Web browser. Is there a way to either have a screen that shows the camera feed pop up when a button is  pushed or just have the camera feed show on a in a layout?

You cannot display the video feed in AM itself, but you can launch an external app on a button press, so if you have an external app that can show the feed that could be done. I think ideally it would be an app that could be exited with a button press, and not your browser.. perhaps VLC?
