if i use the tag @tunnel in your demo Camera, the cam is not Working is this normal?
-
or is the Problem the Audio Code??

OK, the next test will involve running the same demo feed thru your instance of Monocle Gateway. However, I had to fix a couple of minor issues to get it working.
So, first. You will need to replace your “
monocle-gateway.exe” file with a newly compiled one from this link:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/m91e8z2wa1s89d7/AACRqcwLvdTFA-5gsBo9ItrKa?dl=0&lst=(The new version should be “0.0.4-1” instead of “0.0.4”)
Now, we will need to update the demo RTSP URL to use port 554 instead of 443. Port 443 is already encrypted whereas port 554 is the raw unencrypted feed.
rtsp://demo.mproxy.io:554/resortYou will also need to add the
@tunneltag to the camera config as shown below:
-
The gateway is running on the Raspberry pi, because I have only 1 Desktop PC and if I run the gateway on this one it is difficult to Test if it works.

No problem, let me compiled it for the Raspberry Pi.

Latest Linux (x86, x64 and ARM) builds:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uslpk8yudeqjui6/AAAkxfRYvCcsz4OChtGEopbZa?dl=0&lst=You just need to replace the “monocle-gateway” executable that is on your system. Nothing else.
Thanks, Robert

so i have change the file and restartet the gateway service.
then i have modifyed the Demo Cam ( URL port and the tag @tunnel)
The result if i ask Alexa to show the Cam is ( Demo is not responsing)

Well, the port 443 error in the startup log is a problem. Something is using port 443 and thus Monocle Gateway is unable to listen on that port.
Try installing this utility on the RPi and using the following command to list what processes are using port 443.
Install:
sudo apt install lsofList processes using port 443:
sudo lsof -i :443Mine looks like this while running the Monocle Gateway as a background service/daemon.
pi@rpi3bp:~ $ sudo lsof -i :443 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME monocle-g 759 monocle 15u IPv4 489944 0t0 TCP *:https (LISTEN) -
may it is my Fhem home automatisation, i have ssl encryption for https but on port 8083, 8084

OK, odd, the
TCP *:https (LISTEN)is not listed. So I assume that means that nothing is listening on port 443, including Monocle Gateway.Try running Monocle Gateway as a standalone executable.
First, stop the service/daemon using this command:
sudo monocle-gateway --stopThen just run the executable by itself, it will need
sudoaccess to listen on port 443.sudo monocle-gatewayLet see if the startup looks correct and if we get any further.
Thanks, Robert

Startup looks good and one listener on port 443. All good.Any luck with camera requests … demo camera?

I have a cloud based Monocle Gateway setup that I am using to test with another user. Once we are done with it, I’ll reconfigure it for your account and we can test using it instead of your local gateway instance. Of course, it can only resolve cameras that are accessible over the Internet, but we should be able to use the “Demo” camera feed just fine.
All I’m trying to do at this point is verify that all systems are working outside of your local Monocle Gateway instance.
I’ll update this thread soon once I have it configured.
Thanks, Robert

OK … I have the cloud hosted monocle gateway server setup and configured with your account.
All you need to do is stop your local Monocle Gateway instance and the cloud server should take over.Next, ask “Alexa, show me the Demo Camera” and if all is well, it should be displayed on your Alexa device.
You cameras won’t work because the cloud gateway cannot access your cameras on your private network (unless they were exposed over the Internet and a public address were used for each camera).
Let me know if the demo feed is working now.
Thanks, Robert

So I have stopped the local gateway on my Raspberry, and ask Alexa to show Demo and it works.
So what is the next step, and thank you for your help

OK, at this point we have a working Monocle Gateway hosted in the cloud. So there is an issue where the Alexa device is not able to communicate with your local Monocle Gateway server, but we also don’t yet know if Alexa will even work with this camera yet.
So before we further try to diagnose and fix the local Monocle Gateway issue, perhaps we should see if we can get the camera working with the cloud-hosted gateway. This will require that you expose a port (like 554) on your router to the Internet and route (NAT) that to your IP camera internally. Then update the camera settings in the Monocle Web Portal to use your public IP and port to try and access your camera stream. If we can get it working with your camera using the cloud-hosted Monocle Gateway, then all that would remain is trying to figure out why your local Monocle Gateway is not working.
Thanks, Robert
