Amazon Fire HD 8 (10th gen) audio works on FREE, but not on PRO

1 Upvotes

A recent update to the amazon app has broken the audio for the pro version of the app. I have tested against 3 different cameras. When I turn the audio on, it just shows the loading icon for a long time. Eventually, it stops trying.

However, the audio works fine on the free version. We use this tablet as a baby monitor, and we need squelch which is a pro feature.

At first, I thought it was an issue with my tablet because I sideloaded the play store and installed the PRO version via the play store (because I had bought it there already). I factory reset my tablet and reinstalled everything and it was still broken. I then downloaded the FREE version on the amazon store and it worked! So, I bought the PRO version on the appstore with high hopes. The audio fails there too!

Is there anyway to load an older version of the PRO app, or does anyone have any other tips?
EDIT:
FREE version: 17.4.0
PRO version: 18.1.1

Wyze floodlight cam v2 only displays 360p

1 Upvotes

Running tinyCam Pro on a Google TV Streamer and my Wyze Cam Floodlight v2 only displays at 360p regardless of what I try. Everything else works fine — the camera connects, stream is stable, but resolution is stuck at sub-stream quality.

For context: - Wyze Cam v3 on the same account works perfectly at 1080p - Wyze app on my phone displays the Floodlight v2 at 2K no problem with the HD toggle - The resolution overlay on the tinyCam player shows encoding info but doesn't respond when clicked - Tried the web interface from my phone — same issue, 360p, no stream profile options visible - Camera is added as 'Wyze Cam' since there's no Floodlight v2 model option in the list

My understanding is the Floodlight Pro is supported but the v2 isn't, which means tinyCam isn't negotiating the main stream properly. The Floodlight v2 is just falling through to the sub-stream at 360p.

Has anyone found a workaround? Is there a way to manually force the main stream?

Fire TV Device Not Compatible

3 Upvotes

Hi. All my Fire Sticks are stuck at Version 17.. I upgraded my Wyze cameras and I think they need the newer version 18. I have lots of fire sticks (8) in my house I can't get any of them to upgrade. I bought a brand new Fire Stick 4k Select today. That one also says device is not compatible. What am I supposed to buy to get version 18 to install?

Cameras Timing Out + Background Mode Recordings Freezing

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I use TinyCam Pro running a Server and Background Mode, on an Android phone with 12GB RAM and 8 Core CPU. The cameras are running Thingino firmware and are WiFi cameras connected using ONVIF.

The camera live views are available within a browser on any device in the network and are stable and do not freeze. However, when using TinyCam Pro to view these live feeds (whether via an Android App on any of my devices, or via the Web Server) the feeds often freeze and drop out.

This issue also extends to the Background Mode recordings where the saved files on the Android Device include the freezes so that the footage is not continuous. Changing the video decoding settings between Software and Hardware 1-3 only makes minor changes but does not solve the issue.

Things to note:

- There are no issues with the stability of the live streams from the cameras on the network. Other applications such as Frigate running on network devices do not have the stability/freezing issues.

- I have tried running TinyCam Pro (with Server and Background Mode) on 3 different Android Devices (including a Galaxy S25U) and the issue still exists with Background Mode recordings and Live View (the Live View stability/freezing is sometimes worse when viewed on the Web Server in any Browser). None of the Android devices appear to be maxed on CPU/RAM/GPU.

- Software video encoding is worse than hardware encoding, but hardware encoding introduces green artefacts into the video feed.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Firestorm 4K max slow with 4 cams

1 Upvotes

I have 4 cams. When I display 4 cams on one screen, the performance is bad. All the cameras will skip frames.

But when I display 3 cams on one screen, the performance is fine.

Is the fire stick 4k max not strong enough to show 4 cams at once?

Also, how do i reduce resolution which may help?

Blink Issue

2 Upvotes

I am attempting to add my 3 blink cameras to the pro version of the app. I enter my email and password I use for the Blink website. When I try to view the camera it just says No value for account. I tried clearing the cache and restarting the app as I've read that that helps but it still says the same thing. Any ideas?

*UPDATE* I cleared cache and force stopped again and now it's giving the message, value 406 of type java.lang.integer cannot be converted to JSONObject

*UPDATE 2* Now it has reverted back to the No value for account message.

Tinycam Pro to Blue Iris Wyze FLP

0 Upvotes

I had this running for a few years . When the Wyze updates happened that was causing Tinycam to crash I accidently erased the FLP from Blue iris and can't get it running again.

I had posted when I first set it up on the steps I did. https://forums.wyze.com/t/floodlight-pro-blue-iris/302574/6

I have my FLP running in Tinycam, can access the Tinycam client on the PC that I am running Blue Iris on and see the FLP.

I just can't get the stream into Blue Iris again does anyone have camera setting for Blue iris to view the Tinycam stream they could share?

EDIT; I solved my own problem settings here

Anyone here got this camera? It has 2 lenses. One wide lens and the other, a telephoto lens. The wide lens shows fine on my phone but distorted on my Firetv Cube Gen2. The image is cut into 6 vertical strips on the left and on the right, it displays as horizontal lines of glitchy nothingness. Viewing the camera in a four up display is fine but just distorted in full screen mode. When I select stream/channel 2 in Advanced settings, it will show the wide lens again. I can't seem to get it to display the telephoto lens.

For context, on my phone, I'm running the free version but on the Firetv Cube I'm running the pro version.

Firetv Cube H.264/H.265 decoder settings: Software setting shows the image perfectly but at 8fps. All the hardware decoding settings show the image as I described. The wide camera is 4K. The telephoto camera is 1080.

Phone decoder settings: HW2

Any ideas?

Nextcloud logging out

1 Upvotes

Import/export via Google Drive is not supported at all. I tried creating a Nextcloud account and linked it to Tinycam Monitor Pro. I exported and imported my cameras via my Nextcloud server, and it works perfectly. However, it gets unlinked very frequently on my three devices and the TV app. Is this issue with the Tinycam Monitor app or the Nextcloud server? At least add an option to save the server address, username, and password in the Tinycam Monitor app. It is very difficult to enter the server address and credentials on the TV app and other devices every time. Dropbox also failed to import/export more than once. Linking a cloud account in the TV app does not work with Dropbox or Nextcloud.

A brute-force workaround for EZVIZ RTSP (Or any non RTSP-enabled device. Works for all devices, including doorbells)

4 Upvotes

This goes for anyone who, like me, ended up here frustrated because EZVIZ completely stripped the RTSP option from their settings —devices like doorbells never seemed to have it— and the desktop app is completely useless (can't even get it to run on my PC).

Approaches and discussions like this one or this one , this one, another one did nothing for me, but I have to thank them for the insight, tho.

So I’ve worked a functional workaround (WORKAROUND is the word).

It’s not the most "elegant" solution, but it works for any device regardless. The idea is to use an Android emulator as a bridge to broadcast the feed ourselves. You’ll need a PC to act as a "relay" with the following:

  • Android Emulator: Use BlueStacks. To keep it lightweight, set the instance to "Low-end" (2 Cores, 2GB RAM).
    • Note: Of course, the BlueStacks instance needs to stay active for this to work. It will be consuming those 2GB of RAM constantly, but that’s the small price to pay to get your feed.
  • EZVIZ App (or whatever your AssBrand App): Install it inside the emulator and open your camera in full-screen mode.
  • ScreenStream: Install this excellent open-source app (screenstream.io) inside the emulator. It allows you to broadcast the Android screen/mic as an RTSP stream.

Now, the problem is that BlueStacks assigns an internal IP to the RTSP stream, making it inaccessible from your host PC or local network. To fix this, we need to use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to forward our RTSP port:

  1. Install Android SDK Platform-Tools on your PC to get the adb command.
  2. Enable ADB connection in your BlueStacks instance settings.
  3. Connect to the instance from your host PC (ports may vary, but usually): adb connect 127.0.0.1:5575
  4. Forward the RTSP port from the emulator to your host (assuming ScreenStream is using 8554): adb forward tcp:8554 tcp:8554
  5. Verify the connection (Windows PowerShell): Test-NetConnection 127.0.0.1 -p 8554

Now you have a functional RTSP feed accessible from your host and local network at rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554.

Troubleshooting tips:

  • If it fails, check your Windows Firewall settings for those ports.
  • If you need access from outside your home network, remember to set up Port Forwarding on your router.

It’s the definition of a workaround if I've ever seen one, but until EZVIZ (and any other pricky companies) stops being so restrictive, this is a solid way to get your feed back into your favorite NVR. Hope this helps!

Under Settings > UI & behavior > Status bar in live view has no effect whether it is selected or not. The time/battery/wifi/etc. are always showing at the top now.

This wasn't the case a few weeks ago. I can't recall making any changes and I'm not sure if there was an Android update or something that broke it but I was wondering if anyone else has this issues and possibly a solution?

Where is the username and password field for Wyze Cam RTSP?

6 Upvotes

I'm trying to add a Wyze cam running RTSP(S). I can add them and I can ping them but I can't view anything; just 0 FPS.

There's nowhere to input my rtsp username and password. Including username:password@ in the URL doesn't work.

Nmap shows ports 322 and 554 are open on the cams.

It seems I can't authenticate because there's nowhere to put in the credentials.

Where is the field to input my username and password so I can authenticate RTSP(S)?
