Hide camera with indi-allsky – allsky-rodgau.de

indi-allsky has found two cameras on my computer – no idea why. Only one of the two cameras is emitting images, so I have hidden the “wrong” camera.

First we start an SQLite session:

sqlite3 -table -header /var/lib/indi-allsky/indi-allsky.sqlite

Then we call the “camera” table with the following command:

SELECT id, name, friendlyName, hidden FROM camera

We then see the following view (here as an example):

+----+------------------+--------------+--------+
| id | name | friendlyName | hidden |
+----+------------------+--------------+--------+
| 1 | ZWO CCD ASI678MC | | 0 |
| 2 | TWO ASI678MC | | 0 |
+----+------------------+--------------+--------+

To hide a camera in the web interface, set the hidden field to 1 for the corresponding camera ID XX:

UPDATE camera SET hidden=1 WHERE id=XX;

In my case it was id=1. Then refresh the indi-allsky interface and bang, only one camera is left.
