Xiaomi Yi Camera: GUI Control & Configure from PC (Win/Lin/Mac)

[Andy_S]

0.5.8 - fixed app hanging when camera cannot be connected

 

[Andy_S]

0.5.9 - Fixed connection problem

- previous update prevented C&C to connect properly to the camera

 

[luckylz]

no idea what happen to me... maybe my notebook wifi is not stable today.

2 error happened.

C & C can't connect. must restart Yi Cam.


File Download Failed for many times:

 

[Andy_S]

0.6.0 - File upload, print working directory (Expert)

- File uploading now possible via File Manager anywhere, where it is possible by filesystem
- Current path is displayed on top of File Manager (only in Expert mode)

 

[Andy_S]

luckylz: running two instances of C&C is not advised / recommended nor supported. It can and most probably will cause issues like this.

 

[luckylz]

I'm not running 2 instances of C&C, but only print-screen together.
P.S. - my samsung tf card is 64GB within exfat mode. does the error related?

 

[Andy_S]

next version will contain "debug" mode that will output all errors to a log so you can send it to me
i can't see how exfat would be a problem unless the cam has a problem with it.

PS: Enable expert mode and try tweaking chunk size, it may (probably will) increase the speed of file transfer for you.

 

[cabalus]

dont know the possibilities, but is it possible to make an option to write an autoexec file und push it to sd card ?
for example
"write autoexec file" -> [] 1080p/60 at 30 mbit []1080p/60@30mbit []720p/30@30mbit []2k/30@ 30mbit
the user can choose what he want and can self configure his autoexec file.after chosen it, the file will be written on sdcard. I ask because i dont know these commands :-/

 

[Andy_S]

cabalus: That is already planned feature i needed to have the fileupload for that working first.

 

[Andy_S]

0.6.1 - Debug mode (expert)

- you can enable Debug mode under Expert menu which creates debug.txt with possible errors


I hope this will work as i couldn't test it properly, since ecqu's camera is offline now. But i tested it as much as possible...
Known problem - text in the menu (enable/disable) does not change unless you restart app. Can't properly do that without camera connected.

 

[luckylz]

test 0.6.1 and I got the debug.txt

FileDChnk >'rem_size'<

 

[Andy_S]

hmm.... try this, (hopefuly) more verbose debugging. i will need to see just one or two lines before that FileDChnk

0.6.2 - More verbose debug

 

[luckylz]

the full debug is too long to post, I think this part can be usefull for you.

edited: silly me, I can upload it here.

Damnit, i forgot to debug outgoing messages as well... but this looks like network issues (weak wifi signal, interferrence, NIC issues, etc) that cause temporary delay which i didn't account for...
Try toying with the chunk size (decrease it at cost of lowering speed). And when i will have the camera available, i will try to rewrite it so it waits for "get_file_complete" message before sending another down request....

 

[Andy_S]

Actually...

0.6.3 - Tweaked file downloading

 

[ADKGuy]

I just ordered the cam and stumbled on this thread. I am just amazed at the work that is going on, particularly Andy. The fact that you're doing all this without physical access to the cam is mind blowing.

I look forward to using the program once my cam arrives. Thank you to Andy and all others for your work.

 

[luckylz]

@Andy_S, Sorry to trouble you again. I still have problem using C&C to download video.
even I download the same file using Chrome browser is much more faster than C&C.
I'm sooooo confusing about this.

 

[Andy_S]

What a coincidence, i am trying to boost the download speed right now I got up to 250kB for upload, but download is WAY slower .

 

[Andy_S]

well, right now i am at 130kB/s for download which is 6x faster, but still nowhere near chrome or droid app :/ No idea why tho gonna keep trying

330kB/s for upload. Gonna release updated version, pls test if you get better results. Best speed i got was on 4k chunk (which is thus now default)

 

[Andy_S]

0.6.4 - Tweak - increased download & upload speed

- Both download and upload speeds were increased
- Default chunk size was changed to 4kB as this gave me best speeds
