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

[Rob115]

Using with ThiEye T5/T5e does produce resolution 768x432 @29fps (this resolution used for second video file when you select dual files option in camera settings) and no way of changing it to using options of CC.exe any tip how to switch it to 1920x1080 60fps?

Hi

can anybody tell me if this PC software (CC.exe) is able to work with Yi Dash Camera?
This camera wifi SSID is YiCarCam_f620e2 and it assigns IP 192.168.1.33 to my PC, while the camera IP address is 192.168.1.254 (at least it replies for ping to this IP)?

I always get Cannot connect to address specified.

I am starting to think that it can be only for Yi Action Cam, isn't it?

Using this on other cameras may mess up some settings, please don't try it as it is very unlikely to produce results.

Hi, i use Windows 10 and just trying to connect Xiaomi Yi. I have DL Xiaomi Yi C&C and have DL VLC. But after i clicked Live View then pop-up a message written VLC Player not found. Use your preferred player to view : rtps://XXX.XXX.XXX . Do you have any solution for the problem ? Thanks.

I know if used this ages ago, but i just cant get the RTSP or even file transfers working on my yi.
I can start burst photo/recording on my z22 yi, but rtsp refuses to work with vlc and other rtsp viewers like ffplay.

Iv even tried all the different firmwares on the YI. v 1.2.0 1.2.6 1.2.10 and 1.5.12.


I was hoping to use my retired yi to monitor my 3d printer, butthe live feed seems to only work in the phone app. and that has to be connected directly instead of through my router

Is there something in the wifi scripts that messes up the live stream or file transfer?

Do I connect to the cameras wifi on my PC first, then try to connect with the program? because either way doesn't seem to work for me, using the right IP for the device. Just says couldn't find x specified.
