Issues surrounding saving changes in Config pages (version 0.4.1)

[Fookes74]

Describe the bug Installed 0.4.1 as per instructions. On webpage I am unable to add a hostname (host name not valid) when saving, Wifi strength shows as 'no signal' even though camera is on the network and appears without issue in Yi Camera App. Unable to modify any of the settings doesn't save.

RTSP tab is completely blank.

Baseline and firmware both 0.4.1 and Camera is Yi Outdoor 1080p 4CUS

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour: N/A

Expected behaviour Ability to input a new hostname, to make changes to settings and save and to enable RTSP feed.

Screenshots Not required unless deemed necessary on response.

Set Up Details (please complete the following information):

• Firmware Version: 0.4.1
• Device: Yi Outdoor 1080p
• Model: 4CUS

Additional context None

Technical Details None

That only indicates problems with your SD card. Try formatting the SD card using the YI app and copying the yi-hack-v5 folder afterwards.

Having the same issue on Yi Dome 1080p. I can access the camera via SSH, I can modify system.conf using vi, it stores the values fine even after reboot (so SSD card is fine), but changing the values using WEB UI does not work. Using the same firmware as OP.

Can you execute ./tmp/sd/yi-hack-v5/script/launch.sh and post the results?

[marteenas]

Interesting thing is, when I connect via SSH I get: `WARNING: Cannot check for updates from GitHub.

The camera might not be connected to the internet or, if it has just been turned on, the updater hasn't contacted the server yet.`

even though I can access the camera using Yi software via cloud :)

as for /tmp/sd/yi-hack-v5/script/launch.sh

/home/yi-hack-v5 # /tmp/sd/yi-hack-v5/script/launch.sh Using model: yi_dome_1080p Version on cam: 0.4.1 Version on sd: 0.4.1 Specify the operation (k for kill, l for launch): l Specify the settings (high, low, or both):

not sure what settings I want :)

[marteenas]

tried it with high (did not realize I'm starting an rtsp server), here are the results:

Using model: yi_dome_1080p Version on cam: 0.4.1 Version on sd: 0.4.1 Specify the operation (k for kill, l for launch): l Specify the settings (high, low, or both): high Enable audio?

"ch0_0.h264" stream, from the file "/tmp/h264_high_fifo" Play this stream using the URL "rtsp://192.168.1.216/ch0_0.h264"

if I connect to rtsp it works.

if I edit system.conf in there /tmp/sd/yi-hack-v5/etc using vi editor, then I get settings stored.

browser? clearing cache?

[marteenas]

browser sends the request to camera without a problem: POST:

DISABLE_CLOUD: yes REC_WITHOUT_CLOUD: no RTSP: yes ONVIF: no ONVIF_WSDD: no TIME_OSD: no SNAPSHOT: yes SNAPSHOT_LOW: no SSHD: yes FTPD: no BUSYBOX_FTPD: no TELNETD: no NTPD: no HTTPD: yes PROXYCHAINSNG: no SWAP_FILE: no HOSTNAME: yidome1080phackv5

but the camera responds: {error: "true"}

it still displays "Saved" in the web.

What I did is used Firefox instead and it saved the settings. Then it started working on Chrome (Opera) browsers too. Probably some of the form inputs are not valid and the UI just does not display which ones (thus error: true).
