Onvif stopped working after update to 0.5.0 - Yi 1080 Home 6FUS (4.5.0)

[cklimowicz]

Hi, I have several Yi 1080 Home 6FUS (4.5.0) cameras connected to HA via Onvif. Everything was fine until update 0.5.0. Updated 2 cameras 0.4.9 to 0.5.0 and onvif stopped working, stream via Rstp works ok. Cameras with version 0.4.9 work properly via onvif.

I noticed that HA is not so standard with onvif. It doesn't understand spaces inside the xml. I need to change some code.

Does Onvif Device Manager works?

[cklimowicz]

Onvif Manager works ok. I have connected 2 more cameras with 0.4.9 version

[roleoroleo]

There was several problems, I think HA is not completely compliant with the standard specification. But no problem, I fixed it. I will send a new beta hack to test.

[roleoroleo]

Here it is: y203c_0.5.0.tgz

Please try it and let me know if it's ok.

[cklimowicz]

Thank you very much. I don't know if I can test it now because I only have remote access to the cameras. Unless I can upload via ssh. I'll let you know

[roleoroleo]

I can send you just the differences... update_1.tar.gz

• Remove the folder /home/yi-hack/www/onvif
• Copy in the folder /home/yi-hack/www the content of the archive update_1

wsd_simple_server.gz

• Kill the application wsd_simple_server
• Overwrite the binary /home/yi-hack/bin/wsd_simple_server with the content of the archive wsd_simple_server

And finally reboot the cam. Pay attention to the permissions. Don't miss them.

[cklimowicz]

Ok, I checked both variants. First, I uploaded the files (home../sys..) to the sd card via ssh and did a reboot. In HA through the onvif manager, the camera was not visible. Second, I replaced the Onvif directory and wsd_simple_server and rebooted. Unfortunately the same, the camera cannot be seen through Onvif.

Finally, I uploaded the files with version 0.4.9 and restarted. Onvif started working again.

[cklimowicz]

I noticed that version 0.5.0 lacks Onvif port configuration. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

[roleoroleo]

With the last hack version, the old onvif_srvd daemon is deprecated and not used anymore. The new binary is onvif_simple_server and it's not a daemon but a cgi. So it shares the port 80 with httpd (no need to configure it).

wsdd is also deprecated, the new binary is wsd_simple_server (this is a daemon).

I'm in this issue too. Is the Xml formatting or the httpd port sharing that doesn't like to HA?

[roleoroleo]

No, the problem is that the xml produced by HA uses explicit namespace. Something like:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
...
<ns0:GetCapabilities xmlns:ns0="http://www.onvif.org/ver10/device/wsdl">
...

instead of:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:tds="http://www.onvif.org/ver10/device/wsdl">
...
<GetCapabilities>
...

Since there is no soap/xml engine behind onvif_simple_server, it didn't work. There is just a simple parse.

And another problem. If GetCapabilitiesResponse from the cam contains the Event section:

                <tt:Events>
                    <tt:XAddr>%EVENTS_SERVICE_ADDRESS%</tt:XAddr>
                    <tt:WSSubscriptionPolicySupport>false</tt:WSSubscriptionPolicySupport>
                    <tt:WSPullPointSupport>false</tt:WSPullPointSupport>
                    <tt:WSPausableSubscriptionManagerInterfaceSupport>false</tt:WSPausableSubscriptionManagerInterfaceSupport>
                </tt:Events>

HA asks for an event subscription although the support is false as in the example above.

I improved the parsing of the XML request and I removed the event section.

The previous release was tested with the official tools from ONVIF Project, so I'm pretty sure that was correct.

Same problem here. I have the y30 and h201c flavor.... No ONVIF access... I've only upgraded the y30 to this point..... I started to follow the same instructions posted earlier, but decided against it since that version may be different..... I was on version 0.4.9 before upgrading. I may revert back for now.. Thanks in advance.

[roleoroleo]

The problem is already fixed. There are no difference between h201c and y203c about onvif daemons. You can try them if you want.

[Extreme79]

When new release will be available? Just to evaluate to downgrade all cameras or wait

[roleoroleo]

I don't know at the moment. If you want, I can make a beta version.

[Extreme79]

If you can, I'll (we'll) appreciate it! 💚

[roleoroleo]

Here it is: h201c_0.5.0.tar.gz h305r_0.5.0.tar.gz h307_0.5.0.tar.gz y23_0.5.0.tar.gz y25_0.5.0.tar.gz y30_0.5.0.tar.gz y203c_0.5.0.tar.gz

Was this confirmed working ? I have [ Installed: 0.5.2 - Available: 0.5.2 ] and it does same thing. onvif doesn't work, stream via Rstp works ok. and also in the app it works. I was on 0.4.2 or something like that. Just decided to update..

[roleoroleo]

Yes, onvif is working. If it doesn't work with you client, please take a network capture and share it with me.
