changing password changes only http password, but not rtsp

[avg-I]

First, I could not get RTSP working at all until I created "RTSP Link" via eWeLink. I used a default password there.

Later, I used sonoff-hack web interface to disable the cloud. I also changed password. Now the http access requires the new password. But RTSP still requires the old password created via eWeLink. The new password results in 401 Unauthorized.

Sonoff-hack version is 0.1.0. Base firmware on this camera is V2524.1.276build20201103. It's the same as in issue #49 and I had to use the binary from that issue to get PTZ working.

So, I guess that there can be more incompatibilities between sonoff-hack and that version of the base firmware .

The RTSP service should accept both passwords.

I don't remember if I commited the code form https://github.com/roleoroleo/sonoff-hack/issues/49 I will check it.

I am having the same symptoms. I was able to get the hack loaded but rtsp does not work at all until creating the ewelink link. In my case however, the rtsp stream dies after about one minute. Only rebooting the camera will restore it. I will post my build tomorrow for reference.

It's normal that the RTSP stream is not available until you enable it in the app. I will add this note to the readme.

The RTSP service should accept both passwords.

Unfortunately it accepts only the password that was originally set via the app. The new password is rejected.

Which user are you using?

[avg-I]

User is "rtsp". This user is configured in both the official app and in the sonoff-hack web interface. Should I try using a different user for sonoff-hack? Let me do that.

[avg-I]

Yes, selecting a different user allows RTSP access with both old-user:old-password and new-user:new-password.

[avg-I]

Although, I am not actually thrilled that old-user:old-password is still allowed access...

[roleoroleo]

Yes, I can understand. I don't know what happens if I remove the original user from the table. Do you want to try?

/mnt/mmc/sonoff-hack/bin/sqlite3 /mnt/mtd/db/ipcsys.db 'delete from t_user where C_UserName="rtsp";'

Thank you! Everything seems to be working fine after making that change and rebooting the camera and everything is still okay. Also, even if I re-enable cloud access and create the rtsp link in the app again the 'rtsp' user is not restored and so cannot be used for access. The account added via the hack keeps working.

I also checked t_user table and found another account with admin:12345678. I removed that as well. Not sure if that was some default account or if I created it through my earlier experiments with the camera.

[roleoroleo]

Let me know if the cam continues to work properly. I will add the instruction to the hack.

[avg-I]

Everything is fine. I can access the web interface, rtsp streams, ptz works. Is there anything else you'd like me to test?

[roleoroleo]

A couple of days of operation and a couple of reboots. Nothing special.

[avg-I]

So 3 weeks down the road everything is still fine. The camera has been rebooted several times including graceful reboots and unexpected power-offs.
