Hi, Can you confirm for me that this is a bug? My camera is visible : ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/7/772d882ad7d477d0f0e2a475ef83305d4eb9f674.png) But when in a scene I ask to retrieve and send the latest image, I get nothing : ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6388209b7ae89e9920bcc125e30292590d9b92a1.png) ---

After some research, I confirm two things : 1. It’s probably a bug 2. There’s an error with ffmpeg Update every 2 seconds, after a few minutes: ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/9/9ddfad19e29ccd0d7a2b4c7f508cfc2d38c07011.png) Same, one minute later: ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a34077bac6dfe108b5a30a58a49566af57c695e9.png) Same one minute later: ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5968a3ce1ef1790a0d7a11f711ce873a94473c33.png) You can see a lot of new ffmpeg threads, never closed (should there be a 2-second timeout otherwise?). Finally, I changed the port used for RTSP on my camera (#DIY) and I still see threads using the old port. Proof they were not stopped in time. ![image](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/0/0e262b10902b7b4d5eb61c774610ac430d34f024.png) Note: I use the camera on only one dashboard, **which wasn’t even open** at the time of the tests and screenshots. So it’s 100% related to this thread: [Gladys utilisation de la ram](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/gladys-utilisation-de-la-ram/7821) ---

What’s your refresh rate? For me, the request via chat works. ---

Is it possible to display in Gladys the % of RAM used by the system? Like the ping or the % of disk used. ---

With a refresh rate of 1min I only have a single process left, indeed. But originally I would have wanted quasi-live, hence the 10 seconds for my part. And I agree that there is really a bug at that level which is still quite annoying — to say « who cares, leave it at 1min » 😛 Is a timeout possible? Or is it simply impossible? ---

I see it differently, the refresh should stay as is. Maybe even remove the 1s refresh. And see how we could set up a live stream. And that would be comfortable because we’d have a Dashboard that stays light and if live is needed you click on the image or a button. I don’t know if that’s clear 😅 ---

Both points are indeed justified 🙂 I had made a request a while ago to zoom the camera on click. Maybe that’s what would make the stream more interesting 🙂 ---

To answer the questions, I was trying to have a continuous stream with the 1-second option. It was running fine, except for the reported bug. ---

Isn’t it possible to put a continuous stream on the dashboard only when it’s visible? ---

> [@lmilcent](#): > > To answer the questions, I was trying to have a continuous stream with the 1-second option. > It ran fine, except for the reported bug. Yes it’s indeed a bug as said in the other thread, we need to investigate, it shouldn’t be too serious. Regression on the ffmpeg side in my opinion / or a change related to Node 18 in the management of child processes. In any case it’s a bug to fix, we can keep the other thread for that 🙂 I haven’t had time to look yet, if someone wants to do the research it would help me 😃 > [@spenceur](#): > > Too bad that @pierre-gilles closed the thread ^^ I closed the thread because it was a duplicated request with a request that had more votes: > [@Afficher l'image en direct d'une caméra en plein écran depuis le dashboard](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/afficher-la-camera-en-pleine-ecran-depuis-le-dashboard/6610): > > Je souhaiterais pouvoir, depuis le dashboard, agrandir la camera pour ainsi mieux la visualiser. Even though I agree @spenceur, your request doesn’t seem to say exactly that, but in any case I had understood that you wanted to open the live stream from the front end. The live topic interests me a lot and on the contrary it’s a topic I worked on a bit at the end of the year (for now only at the research stage) I managed to do conclusive tests that could lead to a development if it’s a highly requested feature. In any case it’s a dev in the « very large development » category, because on the Gladys Plus side it’s a whole end-to-end encrypted video streaming infra that needs to be put in place. Very exciting but time-consuming project, it’s a multi-month project in my opinion 🙂 ---

It’s true that I hadn’t thought about the Gladys Plus infrastructure. Especially if (or when) the number of users becomes significant, streaming is resource-intensive! ---
