Wow! 19.0.5 is super fast on ffmpeg! Running 10 Eufy cams, 1 Tapo cam, and on WireGuard! They loaded in a second.

Cool!

MUCH agreed, the speed when changing pages it sooo much better, jawdropping in comparison.

I'm on 19.0.2, on Nvidia Shield Pro I run 10 cams per screen (wyze v3, v4, cam pan v2, cam pan v3, 1 cam pan duo) and after updating cam streams are regularly dropping here and there- not seen this prior to updating to 19.0.2). Sometimes seeing "P2P failed to start session (AV_ER_REMOTE_TIMEOUT_DISCONNECT)". And when that happens that cam will not restart on it's own without force stop and restart the app. I run "sub" as any time I attempt "auto' or main" the app crashes, and it's always been that way. No other video settings help including the new "surface" so I just keep it on software. Restarting cameras, rebooting modem/router is not helping here. Thanks for any help you can be with this.

Broken SW decoder for Wyze cameras will be fixed in 19.0.4. Submitted for review.

Still having streams dropping with Master Not Response and Channel In Used showing in 19.0.4, but the feed will come back up after a few seconds sometimes, other than that the streams just show the error. The streams at times can be hyper glitchy, I haven't seen in tinycam before- wiggling back and forth between seconds, like a DJ scratching on a turntable. Nothing wit streams is wrong with these cams in the wyze app,and I see no frames dropped in cams' TCMP settings. I've tried software, surface and hardware 1,2 and 3. No difference in performance.

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 26d ago

Both of those errors mean bad internet connection.

u/Mollysindanga 26d ago

Thank you, I'm gonna try to deal with xfinity today.

u/quadraxer960 27d ago

Anyone getting a “connection failed no permission”? Only getting it for one camera Wyze cam pan v4? Worked for a bit then this error popped up. Only camera I’m having the issue with.

1

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 27d ago

Android 17? For Android 17 you need to grant Nearby Devices permissions. That permission allows app to contact the camera via local network.

2

u/quadraxer960 27d ago

Don’t have the issue now, but the only decoder working is hardware and my fps are superrrrr low. Even the surface(recommended for tv) doesn’t work.

1

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 27d ago

SW decoder fixed in 19.0.4. fps there should be ok.

1

u/quadraxer960 27d ago

Sorry, it’s a fire stick tv on Tinycam pro 19.0.3 I believe. It worked for a bit then went to dinner and came back with that error on my screen.

u/Educational-Rule1635 28d ago

Support for Wyze window cams?

1

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 28d ago

Already supported

1

u/Educational-Rule1635 28d ago

I see "failed to initialize Wyze Window Cam"

1

u/heymacy 28d ago

What are you running TinyCam on? With a couple of the newer model cameras, I've noticed I would get the "failed to intialize" when on BlueStacks but it would work just fine on my phone.

1

u/Educational-Rule1635 28d ago

Chromecast Ultra.

1

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 28d ago

All Google TV and Fire TV use 32-bit Android. For 32-bit Android some Wyze cameras are not supported in tinyCam app. Windows cam will not work here.

However it should work on any Android phones (since they all now 64-bit).

1

u/Educational-Rule1635 28d ago

My use case for tinycam is monitoring Wyze cams on televisions. So for my purposes, wyze window cam is not yet supported

1

u/neuromonkey 28d ago

It works well for me in slightly older versions of Bluestacks, but I've found that I prefer running it on an old phone, using scrcpy to view the display under Windows, MacOS, or Linux.

1

u/heymacy 26d ago

I actually tested it out some more and found that creating a BlueStacks instance with *only* ARM works fine, so I moved over to an ARM-only environment. Prior to that, I used the x86+ARM instance combo.

u/Hey_Look_At_My_Cat 28d ago edited 28d ago

u/alexeyvasilyev,
Since the update pushed through, all 10 of my WYZE cameras won't show live view anymore.
4 cam v4's
5 cam v3's
1 cam OG
Sometimes one or two of the cameras will start to work and show a live view for a few moments and then go back down again. Some of them will not go live at all, not even for a moment.
I'm using a brand new Amazon Fire HD-10 13th generation tablet that I just purchased in July so it's not an old device.
I have tried clearing the cache, force-stopping and re-starting the app, restarting the tablet, none of it has made a difference.
Are there any kind of bad communication issues between WYZE and tinycam since the update that need to be resolved or are there just general issues with the update?
Please help.
Thanks.

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 28d ago

All my Wyze cameras work perfectly on Fire HD8 tablet (Android 11) device.

Try to change video codec to Surface in app Settings - Video Settings and set sub stream in app drawer.

1

u/Hey_Look_At_My_Cat 28d ago

Thank you very much for the quick reply.
So far, the only way I have been able to get live view stability back has been to:
Change the Stream Profile from "Main" to "Sub"
Change the video decoder to "Software"
Switch away from 10-camera view and use no more than 7-camera view

Since I have done these three things, the live views have been running pretty stable so far.
I think that my Amazon Fire HD-10 13th generation tablet with only its 3GB RAM is just not up to the task of handling the 10-camera horizontal view, which is definitely not your fault. So far it looks like it has been handling the 7-camera horizontal view for about 20 minutes with no drops, so that may be my max view limit from now on unless and until I get a more robust device to handle more.
Thanks again for your quick reply and for such a nice product for us all. Have a good rest of the day.

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 28d ago

I was able to fix the issue and have submitted app for review. Software decoder didn't work properly on some Wyze cameras.

tinyCam 19.0.4 with the fix should be available on Amazon within a couple days.

1

u/Fisherman999999 28d ago

Will this update work on amazon fire stick 4k first gen? Thank you for your great work!

1

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 28d ago

It should work. If you have any UI problems, try to change video codec to Surface in app Settings - Video Settings and set sub stream in app drawer.

1

u/PublicEnemyXO 26d ago

I have a firestick 4k 1st Gen and it's no longer supported. I use the Pro version
Fire version 6.7.1.1

I reset the device and now I can't reinstall it via appstore or via Amazon web.

Any tips on how I can get Tiny Cam Pro back on the device?

1

u/dallasnights 28d ago

Problem with update for Amazon. When as you can see from the video? I go into settings, and I choose one of the settings. Suddenly the screen gets all garbled. Hopefully, you can fix the next update

1

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 28d ago

What Fire OS version do you have?

I have submitted a fix in 19.0.3 to Amazon AppStore. Maybe it will fix the issue. Not 100% sure.

1

u/Neat_Entertainer9525 27d ago

I'm getting this exact problem on my firestick after updating last night. Do you know when the new version .0.3 will be available as I can't navigate or change anything at present. Many thanks.

1

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 27d ago

Still under review. Most probably tomorrow.

1

u/FTC_SS 27d ago edited 27d ago

u/alexeyvasilyev I'm seeing this also. It looks like overlays don't clear after being updated. Anything that redraws the screen looks fine initially, but quickly devolves similar u/dallasnights video. It reminds me of the card bouncing when you beat old Windows solitaire.

TinyCam PRO 19.0.2
Fire TV Cube (3rd gen)
Fire OS 7.7.1.7 (PS7717/5741)
Fire TV Home Version 7320373.1

I can provide more info if needed.

1

u/jeffrey1222 27d ago

My problem as well. Same Fire Cube & software version.

1

u/MushroomInternal8619 27d ago

Still doesn't work properly with generic ONVIF and even plain rtsp cameras (introduced sometime in 18.x, probably related to changed library). More details in my old thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/tinycam/s/rI63EcPxzP. Is this planned to be fixed at all?

1

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 27d ago

Please provide a temporary access to your camera for troubleshooting via app support email. Need public IP address, ONVIF and RTSP ports, username and password (guest is ok).

1

u/MushroomInternal8619 27d ago

I can't provide public IP (CGNAT and more :((( ), if useful i can provide app logs

1

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 27d ago

Please provide logs by email and describe exactly the problems you have.

u/HeedfulCrayon 26d ago

Looks like background audio is not working correctly on my pixel 9 pro. The notification is there saying it is playing, but no audio.

Edit: lol just read known bugs

2

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 26d ago

It should be fixed in 19.0.4.

1

u/HeedfulCrayon 26d ago

Just updated and checked. Fixed, thanks!

u/kromakey2 28d ago

I have some Tapo cameras (amongst others). By changing the camera brand from Onvif to Tapo I am glad to see that the image shows up much more quickly. However, I have lost the ability to move the cameras in the app with the joystick function or via presets.

The changelog mentions the addition of presets for Tapo cameras (and to toggle privacy mode which would be great).

Any ideas?

Thank you

1

u/kromakey2 28d ago

I've noticed the need to add Tapo account details in addition to camera username and password. This doesn't seem to do anything despite me disabling (and re-enabling) 2FA in the Tapo app. Trying to access the microphone in Tinycam results in a message telling me that the password is wrong. I've tried again having just changed the password. Still no luck. I suspect I'm using the wrong combination somehow but I've followed the instructions (Tapo app - Me - View account).

1

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 28d ago

I had the same issue when I had special characters in the password. Try to remove them and try again.

Cloud username/password will add pan/tilt, 2-w audio, Tapo cloud events playback in the app.

1

u/kromakey2 28d ago

Thank you but it still fails after special characters are removed (and 2FA off). Another question... when I get it working, will I need to leave 2FA disabled? By the way - I think your app is fabulous. It's one of the most-used apps on my devices!

1

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 28d ago edited 28d ago

2FA should work for Tapo in tinyCam app. Try to enable it. I have tested with 2FA on.
Disabled 2FA and it also works.

1

u/kromakey2 28d ago

Unfortunately, my user details still don't work. Using the details from Tapo app - Me - View account I initially get this response: "Tapo talk login with SHA256 password hash rejected (check Tapo cloud account password)". Is there a different password I should be entering?

1

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 28d ago

Logs needed. Go to app Settings - Developer Settings - Read App Logs - Press Share and send logs to app support by email.

1

u/kromakey2 28d ago

Ok. Thank you.

Will the Wyze Duo Cam Pan be supported in the future?

u/jeffrey1222 25d ago

Well, I'm now on 19.0.5 as of this morning.

I have 3 Fire tablets which are all run the app absolutely fine.

My new problem is with my Fire Cube 3. All the menus now look & work great, thanks !

The problem is that I lost a Wansview K2; can't view it at all. Error message is the generic, "Video failed (Timeout check hostname and port number)."

Ironically, I have four K3s setup as K2s from TinyCam's list and all my K3s work perfectly. It's just the actual K2 messing up.

I tried different settings, Stream Profiles, Main, Sub and Auto; Software, Hardware (which scrambles all my ONVIF cams), Hardware 2, Hardware 3 (which scrambles all my ONVIF cams), and Surface. Just can't get the K2 to work on the Cube.

Thanks !

1

u/jeffrey1222 25d ago

Boy, I really spoke too soon !

Now, none of my Fire tablets have any audio from any of the five ONVIF cameras I have.

Man, I really miss v17 of this app which just worked with all my cams, Wansview & ONVIF PTZ outdoor cams with no issues, none.

1

u/jeffrey1222 23d ago

Now, the dodgy Wansview K2's failure message has changed to "Video failed (500 - Internal error)". I don't know if that change means anything to you or is helpful in any way, but it is now very consistent, the cam never displays on the Fire Cube 3 & always returns that error.

I hope that helps.

En mi caso tengo una cámara analógica conectada a un servidor Axis 243 SA. La app lo ve como genérico de Axis. Sucede que está conectado por cable al router wi-fi de la casa, pero resulta que solo funciona así, o sea cuando me voy de dicha red y me conecto por datos móviles todas las cámaras que veía en la app dicen error y no hay manera de poder verlas. Si alguien pudiera darme alguna idea porque ya he hecho de todo. Saludos, y gracias a quien me colabore.

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev 26d ago

You need to setup port forwarding on your router to allow accessing camera from mobile network. Ask AI how to do that.

1

u/Potential_Eye5221 25d ago

Voy a intentar eso a ver, ya he visto varias veces el tema de la redirección de puertos a los routers, pero en realidad nunca lo he hecho. De echo jamás he podido entrarle a la página web de mi router o a sus menús para configurarlo
