New version NOT WORK live stream

[sentocv]

The live stream doesnt work. The log when i try live stream any camera blink xt2:

LiveView Stream: immis://35.157.41.85:443/WfY6H-L5W5y8TdUh__IMDS_841406296?client_id=173

Same here

Check the release notes. Live view for immis streams doesn't work inside of HomeKit. It's only available as a hacked prototype in the CLI (Command Line Interface). Use bin/blink --help for more details.

• Added new CLI for convenient debuging and other automation (see: bin/blink --help)
• Added liveview support (CLI only) for new cameras that use immis:// protocol instead of rtsps:// (specifically: mini, XT2, new indoor, new outdoor cameras)

Hi @colinbendell , actually I have an older XT and the log says: LiveView Stream: rtsps://lv2-app-e002.immedia-semi.com:443/pg3aQhZBpSy9kM1k__IMDS_671013048?client_id=224&blinkRTSP=true listening on 0.0.0.0:42269 [Security Camera] [Video] ffmpeg exited with code: 1 and signal: null (error)

I can confirm that upgrading to 3.6.1 broke the live view. My cameras are first generation XT. HomeBridge log shows:

[Security Camera] [Video] ffmpeg exited with code: 1 and signal: null (error)

Reverting back to 3.5.17 fixed the problem.

Thanks. I'll look into it this weekend.

I am having the same issue, for me reverting to previous version did not work. It did use to work before though.

[colinbendell]

can you confirm if the first gen hardware continues to work in livepreview in v3.7?

Hi colin, i bought the new gen xt cameras https://www.amazon.es/nueva-blink-outdoor-camara-de-seguridad-hd-inalambrica-y-resistente-a-la-intemperie-con-2-anos-de-autonomia-deteccion-de-movimiento-1-camara/dp/B086DKVS1P/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_es_ES=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&dchild=1&keywords=blink&qid=1613983329&sr=8-1

and returned my old xt2 cameras.

Do you know if the new cameras are compatible with live preview?

Thanks Colin! ;)

[colinbendell]

sadly the newer hardware uses a non standard RTSP stream that I've partially decoded. However, at this time, liveview doesn't work with that hardware

[roboterm]

at this time

sounds like it may work in the future?

Nothing changed yet?!

Hi, can you explain how can I do that please? I have mini and I want to see liveview.

Same here. Had this working previously but can't get it to work again with downgrading to previous versions. When I downgrade it asks for 2FA pin but unfortunately it doesn't send a pin with older version, only if I upgrade again to newer version again.

For me, I can confirm version 3.7.0 is not live-streaming anymore. It seems that no matter which version I install now, they all seem to say FFMPEG exit code 1.

I just got this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08SG2MS3V?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

The only thing I can't get to work is video stream... I don't see any errors so I am assuming an update to the device might have killed the ability.. anyone have thoughts? Firmware is 12.60
