@maysamsh, if you get blue LED after booting and telnet password is blank, this means that you have flashed the firmware in shadow-1/yi-hack-v3. According to README, the upgraded version won't work with current RTSP implementation. You have to downgrade at least the home partition. Try this downgrade image issues/#3 (comment).

[maysamsh]

@xmflsct I downgraded the home partition and all I've got is a still yellow LED, [almost] instantly after the plugging the cam. Current root_fs on the cam is newer or the same version.

[xmflsct]

Newer rootfs should be fine.

During flashing process, the LED should flash yellow for around half a minute. If you insert the SD card with home_y20 in root and no yellow LED flashing, this means U-Boot does not accept this image file.

[maysamsh]

@xmflsct I've tried it. Flashed successfully but it's still yellow LED after plugging in the cam.

[xmflsct]

Yellow is good. :) Now try telnet/FTP/RTSP and see if it works. If not, unplug the camera, insert SD card to computer and paste /test/log.txt here if there is any.

[maysamsh]

@xmflsct It's still yellow. does not blink at all (only two short blinks on the plug).

[xmflsct]

Have you tried to connect to it? Can you paste output of /test/log.txt?

[maysamsh]

@xmflsct I could not find required tools to make a serial connection yet :(.

[xmflsct]

No, I mean Telnet connect to it. And open /test/log.txt on SD card and paste the content here.

[maysamsh]

Contents of log.txt on the SD card:

Starting to log...
[INIT] Your firmware version is:
2.0.0.1A_201612051401
[INIT] Killing original init.sh script.
[good] busybox 1.16.1 is in the system.
[good] rtsp2301 is in the system.
Check for wifi configuration file...
/tmp/wpa_supplicant.conf /tmp/sd/test/wpa_supplicant.conf
Start wifi configuration...
Status for wifi configuration=127 (0 is ok)
Wifi configuration answer: 
Do network configuration (DHCP)

But the devise is not on the network

[xmflsct]

That's all? Weird that the process stuck at DHCP, which never happened to me. Try to change DHCP to no and your static IP settings in yi-hack-1080p.cfg and see if it works. If it still does not work, please paste again the /test/log.txt.

[maysamsh]

I set the DHCP to no:

I'm afraid it does not run the script at all and the log is for previous firmware.

[xmflsct]

It should not. Because I only add the print out of firmware version in the latest release. This means that the script does get executed today. But always good to try to delete the log file and see if a new one is created.

[xmflsct]

By the way, the second log paste seems to still go for DHCP approach which is strange, if you have updated the DHCP option to no in /test/yi-hack-1080p.cfg.

[maysamsh]

@xmflsct after flashing the rootfs now I can telnet to the cam. It's status is still yellow LED.

[xmflsct]

Great! Have you tried all services (Telnet, FTP and RTSP)? Let me know if all these work for you.

Status LED will stay yellow, unlike in 720p version, as they have changed the way to operate LED color and I haven't been able to figure that out yet.

[maysamsh]

Yes it works, Telnet, FTP and RTSP. Now, won't work over the internet?

[xmflsct]

Nice! What do you mean by won't work over the internet?

[maysamsh]

Some functionality like the official app provides, accessing the stream over the internet.

[xmflsct]

Well, you can, like with VLC to stream it anywhere. I can also add a switch between modes (RTSP only and official app only). But that is not on the priority list unless lots of people would like to have it. As I said in the readme, the goal is to develop an RTSP implementation that can work alongside with the official ones.

[maysamsh]

@xmflsct Thanks. So, I cannot use the official app right now, is that correct?

[xmflsct]

Cheers. That's correct, you cannot use the official app to connect to it. All official programs on the camera are not initialized to give way to RTSP service. So it is your choice to go for either RTSP in this project, or official one in shadow-1/yi-hack-v3.
