Wouldn't this be simpler?
yes for sure, that's simpler.
i made a mistake that it wouldn't work. i wrote "Device" instead of "device".
with the http i could test with my browser and search the problem by testing each part. after i found the problem, i didn't changed it. you are right, need to change it and make of simpler.
Do you know other ways, by changing the script and not use aftersec, so 0,5sec would be possible?

the frameldelay is a millisencond value... you can adjust it as you want

But frameDelay doesn't do something on interval-time.
frameDelay is only the time between showing the images in de .gif file.
But i would like to make pictures every 0,5 sec.
The .gif movie will be smoother. Now a person jumps from left to right in de .gif picture.

Made a very quick and very dirty solution. To take image in less than 1 second interval
Like said, it is dirty. I don't have the knowledge to make a nice .sh without writting every line separate. But it works
I removed 3 line in the DZvents script, the next lines are removed.
Code: Select all
filler = string.rep('0',frameDigit - string.len(varTrig.value))
os.execute('wget -O "'..filePath..camName..filler..varTrig.value..'.jpg" "'..domoReq..'"')
varTrig.set(varTrig.value - 1).afterSec(varInterval)
This is replaced by one line
Code: Select all
os.execute('/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/CameravoordeurGIFmake.sh')
And an extra line is remove when variable is 0, this one is removed
Code: Select all
os.execute('rm '..filePath..camName..'*.*')
replaced by
Code: Select all
os.execute('/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/CameravoordeurGIFremove.sh')
Then i made 2 .sh files.
One which makes 10 pictures with 0.5sec interval
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh

SnapFile002="/home/pi/dzGif/frame0002.jpg"

# Get snapshot via Domoticz server
wget -O $SnapFile001 "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/jpg/1/image.jpg"

# Set variable to 0
curl -g 'http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx/json.htm?type=command¶m=updateuservariable&vname=TELEGRAM_Frames&vtype=0&vvalue=0'

my fault...
time interval is a global variable called 'TELEGRAM_Inverval'
that can be 0.5 either

i tried to set interval to 0.5, but that's not allowed in a integer variabele.
or is that not what you are saying, if so, then i don't understand it

no, you're right... it accept only integer... mmmh willing to ask for an update on this....
unless I'll try to change somehow the way how the snapshot is handled (like moving to a bash script, but I don't like it very much....)

i also don't like it, that i used a bash script.
But that was the quick and dirty option i thoughed about, to use something less than 1 second.
I don't mean that bash script is dirty, but the way i used it is dirty.
I also will think about it. Maybe we can find a solution

Maybe i found a little option.
the normal "wget" command looks like
Code: Select all
os.execute('wget -O "'..filePath..camName..filler..varTrig.value..'.jpg" "'..domoReq..'"')
but when addind a row, undernead the first "wget" command row, with the command-details:
Code: Select all
os.execute('wget -w 0.5 -O "'..filePath..camName..filler..varTrig.value..'.jpg" "'..domoReq..'"')
This should delay the wget by 0.5 seconds.
This only sets an other problem. Both files get the same name, because the varTrig. value isn't updatet.
i was testing with a hack Xiaomi camera. But looks like this camera is to slow (network wise), because it takes 3 seconds for 1 picture. Need to test with my other network camera, which response faster. But not tonight

mmmh... that looks wired!
you can handle all the frames on the same script... but you would get a warning in the log the script is taking more than 10secs to execute.
That would be not a big deal since it is handled, but my concerns are about the way how domoticz would interact with other scripts... if they would runs or they will wait for this to end.

Had a thouged about it.
I think, if the wget delay works, that it could be working if there is made an extra variable.
Instead of using varTrig.value to give a number to the .jpg. The new variable will give a number to the .jpg
Every time when an image is made, the new variable will be +1. Only in the convert line, the -reverse need to be removed.
Maybe I will try it this evening.
But still the problem will be the .aftersec command.
I prefer to have a local function, to fill in the wait time. But don't know how do deal with the .aftersec to get the variable updatet.
Still something to think about

I modified the script, but testing isn't possible.
On 5 march there was a Telegram update, with autoplay of videos.
Since then the GIF autoplay is in a hurry. The delay time in the GIF file is gone, it puts all image together in 1 or 2 seconds (depends on how many images you have taken).
GIF files which worked nicely last week, are now also in a hurry. So it is something which has to do with telegram and not the DZvents script
Do you guys also have this problem?

my still works as wanted....
send them as documents, not as images or videos

this is my sending code
setup as document. will test with an other phone. when looking on telegram.web on my pc, the gif works fine. maybe a phone setting.
Code: Select all
os.execute('curl -s -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/bot'..teleTok..'/sendDocument?chat_id='..destId..'" -F document="@'..filePath..camName..'.gif"')
