Does door_size 4 give you an SD picture?

When you guys get a chance can you test out some different DOOR_SIZE values?

[nwhistler]

Yes, door_size=4 gives me 480x640. I don't think it is SD, because I noticed that if open the app, it has downshifted the image to 480p. Like I change it to HD, fire up the bridge and it's back to 480p.

Here is a screenshot of what VLC is showing as the encoding.

If I try anything else, the debug says [FFMPEG] Wrong resolution: 4. I even tried going into the Wyze app and changing it there to HD. But that didn't seem to help.

[famewolf]

What do I add and where do I add it to fix the "wrong resolution 4" showing in the log for my doorbell? WIll whatever I need to add conflict with my other cam's especially if they are using relay mode?

[mrlt8]

I still need to go back and look into this issue, but a temporary solution would be to ignore the error with IGNORE_RES=4.

All other cameras should use res 1 or 2 so should be unaffected.

Does anyone currently have the doorbell working?

With the last few releases, I haven't been able to get it running

I tried this weekend and was successful. I did a docker pull to get the latest image and removed all the parameters. All that is baked in now without having to change anything.

So remove all this:

ROTATE_DOOR: true IGNORE_RES: 3 DOOR_SIZE: 4 QUALITY: HD60

Mine only seems to run for a few seconds, then I get an error. Running in docker and home assist, both yield the same result:

[mrlt8]

Seems like it could be a WiFi issue.. might want to check your 2.4Ghz network for interference on your channel or non-standard WiFi enhancements like airtime fairness.

[ItherNiT]

I don't think it's my wifi, all the other cams are fine. And according to unifi it has a score of 80. When the stream loads it still shows the door to the side and needs to be flipped, that's easy to do in HA (extra_arguments: -vf "transpose=1") Can I send you any logs to assist?

[ItherNiT]

Update:

I was able to get the doorbell working using tinycam pro. I had an old andorid media player laying around. Its showing correctly in HA, I just had to limit the frames to get a okay performing stream.

I'm a bit hamstrung with the media player cpu:

[mrlt8]

I don't have an android device, but I believe they're using the same tutk method to grab the stream, so we should be able to get a similar result.

Do you see any freezes in the tinycam stream?

[ItherNiT]

No freezes, but 25-30% dropped frames.

[mrlt8]

I added a MAX_NOREADY env option to the edge branch. This should allow you to bump the number of consecutive "Frame not available" errors from the 500 default.

- DEBUG_FRAMES=true should also allow you to debug the current number of "Frame not available" errors.

[ItherNiT]

Thanks!!!!

This fixed my issue :)

[mrlt8]

Awesome! Can you post the number that worked for you? I can try to add it the main branch so that it works out of the box.

[mrlt8]

Marking this as resolved. Please feel free to open a new topic if you need additional assistance.
