Start and stop plugin from the API

THETA API Usage
5

I came here to make a thread about this same issue. I’m also using the live streaming plugin, and activating/deactivating it via the api. I can activate the plugin fine, and I can deactivate the plugin fine, only as long as I never actually streamed.

To make it clear, this is what works:

  1. activate streaming plugin with api
  2. deactivate streaming plugin with api

This is what does not work:

  1. activate streaming plugin with api
  2. stream (either with api, or by pressing shutter button, I’ve tried both)
  3. deactivate streaming plugin with api (FAILS!)

It might be the plugin code itself, but I’m not confident in that. I can still get the battery level over the api while the streaming plugin is activated, so the plugin hasn’t shut down the camera’s “primary” http server.
