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

I didn't keep the old version of your code. I remember when the firmware 1.0.12 just out, the download speed is over 1MB/s.
 
thanks to the GIT versioning you can grab any version you like, just use Changelog link (it is also in the first post)
 
version 0.5.3 I've tested with the download speed around 900KB/s

OH! There we go, up until then it was using http file downloading techniques, 0.5.4 came with direct file transfer provided by camera (port 8787) that allows you to download files from whole file structure in camera.

I will include web download for media files so the speed would be again faster - atleast for the media files. THANKS for this good catch!
 
I've got the speed back in version 0.5.1
So maybe download video & photo need to use the old method.

As i said, i will add the http style download for media, maybe later.
 
wish i understood python better, would like to convert this to android as i really don't like the official app very much. it keeps crashing my phone....
 
I have a download speed only of about 290kB/s with this new CC version on two different computers with Windows 7 and Windows 8. But I have a very bad wifi signal range around 5 meters. Maybe an antenna in my camera is broken or so it seems.

Having an Android version of this app is a good idea.
 
dustintinsley: well, if i had a reason, i think i could'ev rewrite this app for android too. :) But it uses completely different geometry manager than Tkinter used on PC, but it is totaly doable.

Try opening http://192.168.42.1/ when connected to the camera and try to download some image / vide directly with your browser. That way you can compare speed of C&C and webbrowser directly. C&C speed and browser speed should be ~same or atleast nearly similar for files in DCIM folder.
 
Maybe try to migrate to cross mobile platform is better
 
i am not a programmer at all. You can actually be glad that i managed to write C&C as is :D
lucky, what speeds do you get for media files with latest version?
 
I don't bring the camera with me today, and I will test your new code tomorrow.

I have a download speed of about 850kB/s in the web browser (Mozilla Firefox 38.0.1 32b). This is a much better result.
 
thorroid: and ~200kB/s in C&C at the same time? with latest version 0.6.5 ?

luckylz: Ok, let me know :-)
 
hmm... and what chunk size did you use? did you try to tweak it?
 
I used the default 4kB value. Now I trying another values and it seems that the 32kB is the best option with the speed of around 800kB/s.
