Dear Skyline, and Forum,

currently, we use the Video Thumbnail service of Dataminer to visualize some streams on our Visio schemas.
For example in Visio, we use a link visio shape properties like:

http://<DMAIP>/VideoThumbnails-9.0/Video.htm?type=Hyperion&ip=192.160.200.61&thumbnailIP=172.23.12.112&camera=10&refresh=3000

as described in:
https://docs.dataminer.services/user-guide/Basic_Functionality/Visio/linking_shapes/Linking_a_shape_to_a_video_thumbnail.html

Currently, the “VideoThumbnails” Visio link connects to
a Windows Thumbnail Server Service (IP 172.23.12.112)

to get an image every 3 seconds (refresh=3000)

from a Snell Hyperion Card (type=Hyperion&ip=192.168.200.61).

Questions:
Now we want to use Teradek Cube devices, for Example cube 655. Is this possible and how would the link be namend?

Cube 655 – H.264(AVC) Encoder SDI/HDMI GbE WiFi

What other devices are possible to stream? (which types?).
Does it work for every device in hls or which works with vlc?

Regards Cedric Buerfent

We try to make the VideoThumbnails as generic as possible, following standards, to support a wide range of devices. The VideoThumbnails in DataMiner can show:

  • Image thumbnails: if the device can generate images of a video stream, then the VideoThumbnails can fetch it on a configurable interval and display it.
  • Video stream: if the device outputs a live video stream supported by the VideoThumbnails then it can play it, either using an HTML5 video player (recommended) or using the (obsolete) VLC plugin (works only in Internet Explorer). The VideoThumbnails support H.264 (AVC) and HLS (more info can be found here: https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/blob/master/README.md), so I would expect this to work with the Teradek Cube devices.

Suppose we have this:

http://180.95.9.49/httplive/stream.m3u8

What are the Visio Element params to display a VideoThumbnail?

Wim Bruynooghe [SLC] [DevOps Advocate] commented 19th February 2024

Looks like I can’t copy the url (it removes url-encoded characters), so I posted it over here: https://pastebin.com/raw/uTgv6zys

Cedric Buerfent commented 19th February 2024

Tried:

http:///VideoThumbnails/Video.htm?type=HTML5-HLS&source=185.95.9.41/httplive/stream.m3u8

we are on DMA 10.0.0 maybe is this the reason?

Wim Bruynooghe [SLC] [DevOps Advocate] commented 19th February 2024

Yes, HLS (m3u8) streams are supported since 10.1.11/10.2.0 onwards: https://docs.dataminer.services/user-guide/Basic_Functionality/Visio/linking_shapes/Linking_a_shape_to_a_video_thumbnail.html#configuring-a-thumbnail-for-http-live-streaming

Cedric Buerfent commented 4th April 2024

I am on 10.3.0 CU3 (13027), but HLS still does not work.
