If you are on the houselogix version then you will need to upgrade to the driverCentral version. If you are already on the driverCentral version then no need to do anything. It should have automatically updated. The hosting service comes with the driver cost so no additional fees apart from the driver purchase. At this stage there is no limits to how many you pictures you can upload. At this point in time the images are hosted indefinately. Once we get a good idea on how much resources it uses we will decide on how long images will live on our servers for. It's all under the hood. You won't notice anything different on any of our drivers but should just work. Do we use Pushover or Pushsafer? I looked at the documentation on the driverCentral website and the installation manuals do not look updated. I would assume if you are hosting the images we would be using Pushover. Am I missing something obvious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had to go back in and put in my API key and User Code or whatever and saved those in C4. Not sure if those two fields went back when moving from Houselogix > DriverCentral or another reason, but once I re-input it and refreshed it started to work again Thanks for the support! alanchow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 3 hours ago someone else rang the doorbell and when I clicked the link I got a 502 bad gateway error. I now get that error on older links I click on too. I am using your hosting service.

jfh Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 I àm trying to imbed an http: link in an SMTP message in the body. However, with the change to the Chowmain server the following is appended to the URL ; charset="UTF-8" Unfortunately because of the semicolon, the link stops after http://server.chowmain.software/image/ name>.jpg and the image cannot be displayed. how can I create a clickable link to display the picture in the body of the email? im trying to do this because recepients using gmail can't see inline pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfh Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 @alanchow (Related to the previous post) When using the notification driver to send a link to a picture uploaded by the new chunk.io, the link is to an octet-stream. This can be displayed fine from a Pushover message on an iPad but cannot be displayed on an android device. How can we get the original function of chunk.io back where you can put info in the body of a notification (Pushover) or email (SMTP driver) to create a clickable link that will allow android and/or gmail users to show the picture?

I tested this out on the chunk.io and the pushover drivers and they both work fine. Can't replicate it.

I can't replicate this. Our SMTP driver you can enter any arbitary HTML you want. so for images you would do this to embedd an image <img src = 'PARAM{XXX,YYY}'> or this to link an image <a href = 'PARAM{XXX,YYY}'>Click here</a> Although you should probably use the built in image attachment instead. That way you're not hosting the image but attaching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfh Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 l'll have to look at the actual line of code to see what I did. But I'm using the img src and a href exactly as you list. The email has everything up to the ; as a link with the ; UTF 8 not part of it. If you click on the partial link, the chowmain server returns an error and only returns the picture if you manually correct the URL. The img src doesn't work because Gmail intercepts it and prevents inline images. Also does something strange if you add an attachment and try to view it inside gmail. I have seen this on multiple devices, multiple OS, multiple,e gmail accounts. And turns out not an android problem, but only impacts someone using Gmail to read the email. Works fine any other way. may also be a camera specific problem. When sending a picture from a Luma camera the UTF-8 is present on the URL returned from chunk.io. When sending a picture from a hikvision camera it is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkkaiser Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I also use luma, this is what I use: IP of Luma:6500x/GetImage.cgi?CH=1;Size=1280x960;username=EA5;password=XXXX Note: you need to set up different user profiules in the cameras or there will be a conflict with luma. In this example, I have a user named EA5 in each camera. PK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfh Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Pictures aren’t being uploaded (or displayed) for me this morning. No changes on my end and camera working fine. Anyone else seeing issues? looks like a 500 internal server error showing up in my event log. Presume that is from the Chowmain server? Can’t upload the screenshot of the error update: I’m getting a URL for the image that is supposed to be uploaded so don’t know if the failure is on the upload? The following shows up in the Last Uploaded image property in the driver: http://server.chowmain.software/image/<html> <head><title>500 Internal Server Error</title></head> <body bgcolor="white"> <center><h1>500 Internal Server Error</h1></center> <hr><center>nginx/1.10.3 (Ubuntu)</center> </body> </html> Any chance we we could get a driver update that has a program event for image upload that triggers on a Chowmain server error after an upload attempt?

South Africa C4 user Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I am getting a 404 error... whatever that may mean. Good suggestion for a driver change. Maybe @alanchow will give it some thought when he gets back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanchow Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Sorry have been away on business in europe. Richard resolved this whilst i was away.
