node-red not starting - [error] onvif-config

[christophwrann]

Hi,
I have used the onvif nodes with a reolink camera. It was working fine. After a deployment I lost the connection to node-red. Since then Node-red is not starting anymore.

Any ideas?
Tried to uninstall nodes with:
npm uninstall bartbutenaers/node-red-contrib-onvif-nodes
But doesn't work.

Hi @christophwrann,

Seems the Recording node contains a bug here. I cannot fix that in at least 2 months, since I'm recovering from a surgery...

The only thing you can do now is remove that node b410f9ca.9c715 from your flow. If you can't start Node-red, then you will need to start it in safe mode ( Add --safe mode flag to the startup command to allow starting without flows running).

The reason why I haven't published thes nodes yet on NPM, is a lack of time to finish it ...

Hi Bart,
thanks for your quick response. I disabled the particular flow in the flows.json file. Luckily I could start node-red again. Yes, at the last deployment I used the recording node which apparently caused the issue.
All the best for your recovery.

Christoph,
Thanks! Nice to hear that Node-RED starts again.
I will leave this issue open, so I can fix it afterwards when I'm back into developing...

Hi @christophwrann,
Sorry for the late response!
Are you still interested in testing this? If so I will try to fix this node. But then you would need to test it and give me feedback, because my camers don't offer recordings...
