Direct URL to full screen of camera group / layout?

[bob454522]

Describe what you are trying to accomplish and why in non technical terms
(This may already exist - and I'm just not good enough with chrome inspector / developer tools to figure out the request/url). Im trying to get a URL that will bring me directly to the live page of a camera group? (ie the page in the image below)

(my use case is: I have various windows PCs and raspberry PIs that will display cameras via chrome/chromeium, launching at startup, to load a URL at full screen).

for anyone interested im using a bash script that executes this (in the case of my ras PIs):
DISPLAY=:0 chromium-browser -start-maximized -kiosk -noerrdialogs "http://10.6.6.114:5000/" &

is there a URL we can use to go directly to the live page of a camera group? (ie the page in my image below)

even better if its possible to "click" the full screen button in the bottom right corner (however i can script this mouse click, if only i could get a URL to a camera group page).

(i could Of course script both mouse clicks, but I'm trying to avoid that if a URL exists or is possible.)

or if not this could be a feature request for such a url to be coded, As I'm sure there are use cases beyond mine for this (for example a bookmark on a phone/tablet that when you tap it it opens the web browser directly to a specific camera group).

thanks

To get to a group it's as simple as
http://10.6.6.114:5000/groupname

Individual live camera
http://10.6.6.114:5000/#cameraname

This is correct for individual cameras, but the group URL is incorrect. Group URLs have been added in this PR: #12061

example:

<frigate_url>/?group=<group_name>

The group_name needs to match what's in your frigate config file.

The camera group link doesn't work in my setup. I'm using the nginx reverse proxy in the frigate docker. Can it be that the reverse proxy doesn't pass the /?group=<group_name> URI to frigate?

[NickM-27]

Only if you don't have it configured to handle it

[elcovv]

Nothing is changed from the default nginx configuration files that come with the docker. If I go to https://frigate.mydomain/?group=groupname the browser redirects to https://frigate.mydomain/ and shows the camera group that was previously shown.

Are there any changes I should make for this to work?

I'm running frigate version 0.15.0-cea210d

Hi there, I'm on 0.15.0-6cb5cfb and also cannot get the camera group URLs to work. I get the same behavior as @elcovv , the URL just becomes the root domain, and it shows whatever group I was viewing last. Is there any way to debug this?

Edit: So, actually, if I type in the URL a second time, it usually works. Sometimes it takes three tries. When it loads the wrong group, I'm fairly sure I can briefly see it load the correct group before switching back to the last one.

They also appear to be case-sensitive (took me a while to figure out because I have to enter them multiple times for them to work at all)
