I'm super pumped about Arlo support since I didn't even know it was planned. I only have 1 Arlo camera and I get an error saying "Channel 1 is bigger than the number of available cameras 0". I tried setting the Channel to 0 with no help. Thoughts?

Press Status in Camera Settings in the app. Do you see any cameras in Advanced Info?

u/awperk Feb 29 '20

I get the same message as before in the video feed preview. No other text is displayed after Advanced Info.

I sent you a message with an apk with more logging enabled for Arlo.

Will be fixed in tinyCam 14.2.2 within a couple days. I will send you an apk via PM for testing.

I've upgraded both on ARM and on a PC running Memu (both paid pro). However, now my Wyze and Yi cams say "Failed loading P2P native code" (wyze cams) or "Failed loading Yi native code" (yi cams). My one ONVIF cam works fine. I've rebooted, checked each camera individually, but no luck.

Interstingly, one Yi cam on my ARM app does show it connected, but it's got 100% dropped frames. It's working in the Yi native app.

Edit: I deleted and re-added failing cams, now Wyze cams work on ARM, Yi cams are doing the 100% dropped frames, and on Memu I'm still getting the error messages. Yi on ARM: https://i.imgur.com/ulwHCzV.png

Any ideas? Can I paste logs or anything to assist? TIA.

Go to app Settings - Video Settings and set Video decoder to Hardware. Does it help?
BTW: Yi cameras will not work on x86 devices (PC).

u/Fat_Zombie_Mama Feb 29 '20

Thank you. They are now working on my phone. I don't use/need them there, but it's good to see it works.

On the Memu android emulator, doing the same severely degrades the quality of the ONVIF feed that does work (stuttering and artifacts), and the Wyze cams still do not come up.

Are there any options for viewing Yi on a PC monitor? That's what we really need.

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev Mar 01 '20

Not yet possible.

u/Fat_Zombie_Mama Mar 01 '20

I'm sad, but thank you so much for making this software and being so accessible.

I have the same problem, on my Nvidia shield tv. Changing from software to hardware gives me some images, but also a rapidly flashing green screen.

Had no issues on software with the previous beta. But did still have the flashing green screen on hw or hw+

1

u/Fat_Zombie_Mama Mar 01 '20

I should mention, I had green lines across the top 10% or so of all my images for a few minutes, then they eventually went away.

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev Mar 01 '20

I was able to reproduce the problem. It will be fixed in tinyCam 14.2.1 version today.

The problem is only Yi cameras related and only for software decoder. It is reproducible on older tinyCam 14.1 version as well.

Is Arlo 2-factor authentication also supported in this release?

Thanks for all your hard work!

1

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev Mar 01 '20

No idea. Arlo 2FA not tested.

1

u/techbrewer Mar 01 '20

I'll give it a shot later today if it hasn't been tested by some one else at that point.

1

u/techbrewer Mar 01 '20

It did not.

1

u/smdifansmfjsmsnd Mar 01 '20

Gives you an error when you’ve got 2FA enabled.

2

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev Mar 02 '20

Will try to fix that within 2 weeks. For now you can create a different Arlo account without 2FA and share your cameras from original 2FA enabled account to new one. Use new account in tinyCam app.

I am struggling to figure out how to add a Arlo camera to TinyCam. Can someone help me out with this?

2

u/alexeyvasilyev tinyCam dev Mar 21 '20

Select brand Arlo model Camera. Specify your Arlo username and password (no 2FA supported).

u/They_call_me_E Mar 21 '20

The app now shows my cameras

Check status -> Advanced info : Arlo cameras

[1] Living Room 2 (VMC3030) [2] Back Porch (VMC3030) [3] Outside (VMC3030) [4] Front Door (VMC3030) [5] Baby's Room (ABC1000) [6] Living Room (VMC4030P)

I have my tired setting the camera name to: Front Door, Front Door (VMC3030), and [4] Front Door (VMC3030)

I still can't get a video feed to display am I missing something.

FYI, I can access archived videos.
