LiveView for XT2 possible? #45

Open cee-dee opened 3 years ago

I want to see live streams from my Blink XT2, but when I hit the "eye-icon" for that camera, a video player appears with a spinning progress indicator, but the stream never starts.

Can I provide useful debug information from the chrome dev tools? I'm seeing a manifestLoadTimeout for http://127.0.0.1:9192/2020/October/22/LiveView_2020-10-22T16_39_56+00_00/out.m3u8

I've read in the project description that LiveView does not work for XT2 cameras. That is very sad. Could you briefly explain if this is generally not possible or just a missing feature?

XT2 cameras use a different protocol that contains raw information in binary. I suspect it is the same RTSPS protocol but with some metadata at the beginning. It is theoretically possible to do it but requires so much time. When I have one of these cameras and more time I will try again.

I'm sorry to hear that! But live view works for other cameras? -- For the Blink mini? Unfortunately, I cannot get access to my Blink mini with Bling Desktop.

Maybe I can capture network traffic from my XT2 if it helps.
