Re: RTSP and RPi Bookworm

Use something like ffmpeg's "convert" That's what I do. Grabs a snapshot adds layers and text etc then posts to my website. I can post the script if needed. Now that sounds interesting. I’m not very technical on coding matters, but would welcome an alternative to consider. Thanks for the ...

Re: RTSP and RPi Bookworm

I found this on an unrelated forum not including RTSP was a decision for Debian only - so if you remove VLC that's included in bookworm - you can install it via snap and it should work?? There was a Debian policy decision that will cause Debian VLC build to not stream rtsp, you have to use vlc as a...

RTSP and RPi Bookworm

Sadly it seems that VLC on the RPi does not support RTSP, when using Bookworm os. :cry: My old RPi (Buster) uses the RTSP stream in VLC to create my snapshots of the current weather. That still works ok (but very processor intensive). With my new RPi (Bookworm) I’ll have to work something out to get...

Re: Installing CMX v4

So partial success. I renamed the '/usr/bin/dotnet' to '/usr/bin/dotnetold'. And recreated the dotnet file in the /usr/bin/ which now has the correct pi2 link. The installation seemed to go OK, however. So now I'm face with this: × cumulusmx.service - CumulusMX service Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/s...

Re: Installing CMX v4

What I have found is that the /usr/bin/dotnet Has a red exclamation mark in it (not sure if thats normal or not). :?: What is noticeable is the target file in 'File properties' is wrong. The link points to: /home/pi/.dotnet/dotnet When the pi is actually called pi2: Operator error I think :bash: So ...

Re: Installing CMX v4

Not getting very far I'm afraid. Running whereis dotnet I get this= dotnet: /usr/bin/dotnet /usr/share/dotnet /home/pi2/.dotnet/dotnet So there are three locations, the Bin doesn't have anything meaningful in it so I moved on to the /usr/share/dotnet folder which does have an executable dotnet file ...

Re: Installing CMX v4

Simon does that amended code look right for my dotnet exe file location?

Thanks

Re: Installing CMX v4

Exploring this a little further and in response Simon. I think my dotnet executable sits here (in a hidden folder called '.dotnet' - i'm using the gui to look at the file structure): /home/pi2/.dotnet/ See attachment. So does this mean that I need to run this code or add it somewhere? Does this look...

Re: Installing CMX v4

Thanks Simon this sounds like your dotnet executable is not included in your system's PATH environment variable. This means that while you can run the dotnet --info from your cli, it might not be accessible from certain directories. To fix this, add the directory containing the dotnet executable to ...

Re: Installing CMX v4

Hi Freddie:

'Sudo dotnet --info'=

Code: Select all

sudo: dotnet: command not found
'Whereis dotnet'=

Code: Select all

dotnet: /usr/bin/dotnet /usr/share/dotnet /home/pi2/.dotnet/dotnet
Thanks

Installing CMX v4

Sorry to be a pain (again). Finally taken the plunge to install CMX V4 on my Rpi. I currently have an SSD connected to the Rpi with all the V4 files copied across, the Data folder converted from V3 to V4 with no issues. Note I am using the GUI and the Command line. However I'm stuck at the 'Install'...

Re: Installing .net on RPi

The original guide from Mark to install as a service reads: sudo dotnet CumulusMX.dll -install -user <username> [-group <groupname>] [-port port_num] [-lang <lang-code>] So in my simple thinking I was leaving off the group name, leaving it to default to Pi2 (the username in my case), also leaving th...

Re: Installing .net on RPi

I think you will need to be in the /home/pi/CumulusMX directory to run the install otherwise the command won't find the CumulusMX.dll file. You will also need to use the -servicename flag so it knows what to call the service file to be created and the -group flag. Just when I thought I had gasped w...

Re: Installing .net on RPi

Great work trevor..... :D As far as the commands I need to run (after running the V3 to V4 data conversion) are: Note: the original RPi username is 'Pi', the new Rpi is 'Pi2' so the Pi2 in the code below would be just 'pi' for the old RPi! sudo dotnet CumulusMX.dll -install -user Pi2 To physically i...
