Yi 4k light python API

Yi4kAPI

Python API for Yi 4k camera.

It is based on official Yi 4k Java API.
Differences from original API:

• Commands are blocking waiting for result, while in original API they return promices.
• 'stopRecording' and 'capturePhoto' waits till operation is really ended and return produced file name.
• Values provided to commands should be correct strings, compared to integers in original API.
• 'adapter', 'adapter_status' and 'battery_status' callbacks are available in addition to all other. .setCB() used to set/get callbacks.
• 'deleteFile' and 'getFileList' commands require path relative to DCIM folder.

Try not to call same commands simultaneously from different threads: camera response is not clearly identified with caller and response can be mixed.

###Commands not implemented:

• formatSDCard
  NSFW

• downloadFile

• cancelDownload
  Redundant, available by http

• getRtspURL
  Redundant, available at YiAPI() creation

• buildLiveVideoQRCode
  Maybe later

• startRecording datetime
  Lazy to implement due to specific input value format

yi4kapi's Issues

is this api compatible with other Yi action camera 'Yi Lite' and 'Yi 4K+' versions ?

Hello,

is this api working well with other Yi products :

• 'Yi lite' product (which is a Yi action cam in between the 1st 'Yi action camera' (1080p) and Yi 4K product) ?
• 'Yi 4K+' action cam ?

and to be curious, is it also working with 1st Yi action cam (old product) :

• 'Yi action camera' (1080p) ?

thx in advance for your answer,

Download File

Hey,

I like to record a video and immediately play it after stop recording. Unfortunately you don't implement DownloadFile.

Is there any other way to get the file?

Why you decide to spare this command out?

Greetings,

Dennis

Questions about the camera

Hi,

Nice job with this API ! Can you explain us the usage you have of it ?

I would like to know how you interact with the camera. Is it only by wifi or will it work by USB ? I would like to use this CAM + you API with a Raspberry Pi as HD video input, what do you think ?

Thx again !
