The use case is, I have an iPhone at home(which I don’t carry with me) connected to the Comet Q KVM, and occasionally there’s a notification from a specific app. I want to be notified immediately on my everyday carry iPhone when that happens.
The ideal case is if Comet Q provides an RTSP stream that I can use to analyze the screenshot. May I know if it is possible? Thanks!
You can directly obtain screenshots through this API. api/streamer/snapshot
HTTP API reference - PiKVM Handbook
/etc/kvmd/override.yaml You need to consider writing the below content into this file and reboot, so that you can still obtain the screenshots even when you are not actually remote.
kvmd:
streamer:
forever: true
oh I didn’t realize that Comet Q KVM is based on PiKVM. I’ll try that.
Hi @minmie I have one RM1PE(v1.10 beta) and one RMQ1(v1.8.3). The snapshot API works fine on RM1PE but it fails to load on RMQ1. I’m sure the machine is connected and active on RMQ1 as I can control it. Is there a way to debug what might be wrong with this API? I can’t find anything in the logfile /userdata/log/kvmd.log
I'm sure other products definitely support this API. As for RMQ1... maybe we can hope they fix the bugs. But this product seems to have very limited hardware resources, and I'm not sure if it can support it.
Let’s give it a try! I did some digging on why it fails for RMQ1 and here’s my post of the bug report. I also posted a workaround. It seems ustreamer-dump --sink kvmd::ustreamer::h264 --count 1 --output /tmp/frame.h264 works fine for getting one frame from the stream.
