Hi, missing 'r' in MQTT/Home Assistant/Device Manufactu_er

[alienatedsec]

@kknishev sorry but not sure where is that spelling issue. Please can you provide more info?

If anybody is having issues in upgrading (can't see the release in the camera interface) this is a workaround: #301 (comment)

[waleed-alharthi]

Not sure if it's just me. 0.4.1a initially worked (and the streams were much smoother) but eventually put all my cameras in a boot loop. Manually upgrading the SD to 0.4.1b didn't help.

My config is no cloud, no local recording, just both rtsp streams and mqtt.

I have dome 1080p and outdoor.

[alienatedsec]

@waleed-alharthi You need to load 0.3.8 of the yi-hack-v5 before any later versions.

Please beware it's not going to reflash with the same 0.3.8 version over and over as it's a one-time process until you reflash with the other version e.g., 0.3.7 or earlier.

0.4.1c has a new WiFi connectivity module to prevent bootloops hopefully.

[waleed-alharthi]

This is a useful point. I'll fall back to 0.3.7 then try to go up from there.

@waleed-alharthi better to follow this

Flashed 4 cameras successfully! Many thanks!

[waleed-alharthi]

Alrighty, so the report is in.
4 Yi Dome 1080p Cameras flashed
1 Yi Outdoor Camera flashed

Followed the steps:

1. flash 0.3.7
2. flash 0.3.8
3. delete the "yi-hack" folder for 0.3.8 and copy the "yi-hack" folder for 0.4.1c, i left the other 2 files untouched.

All cameras worked fine on day 1.
I could see the rtsp streams on frigate and all was well.

Within 1 week:

• 3 Yi Dome 1080p Cameras went into boot loop.
• 1 Yi Outdoor camera went into boot loop.
• 1 Yi Dome 1080p is working well!

I have done something interesting, and It may be the cause of my pain.
I initially configured all the settings using the Web UI on that one camera which is still working today.
I exported the config, and imported it into all the other cams. I simply changed the "Hostname" and the MQTT Client ID. Could this be the issue?
