Goodmorning,

I am setting up a tiny PC, which task is going to be just to display view of one camera from the system. PC is running Linux, and will not have any keyboard or mouse. So i made a command line script (following this: https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035832594-Launch-Desktop-Client-with-CLI), to start NX witness with PC, and log in with user specifically created for this task. Now i need to make NX start not with main screen, but start showing specific camera view in full screen. How could i possibly do that?

  Hello,

  You need to add parameters to your command line:

  --layout-name    -> to ask it to open the desired layout directly

  Details are available on the page returned by the link you gave.

  Yes, i know about auth, and i do that, and it works, but layout - it's not what i need. Layout opens window with all cameras (or whatever layout is made) that the user is authorized to see , but not one selected camera in full screen.

  Have you tried to create a layout with only one cam (the one you want to open in full) then you call it with --layout ?

   

  It's an idea... never tried myself ;)

  I did. It opens NXwitness main window with that one camera view in layout, but not full screen.

  Nevermind, used Haruna and wmctrl, took stream straight from camera, not through NXWitness...
  
  

  Thanks for help :)
