Hi, can you please also trying enabling debug mode on the imouapi library as well as described on https://github.com/user2684/imou_life#debugging?
We should see a bit more details regarding the error in this way. Thanks!

This is just the last error message, I wanted to have a look at the previous debug output from the library. If you can ensure you have imouapi: debug to your logger as well you should see a good number of debug messages related imouapi as well which should tell step by step what it is doing and if there is any previous step which is returning weird outputs. Thanks!

Hope those help, sorry its the first time I'm posting debug logs from HA. I've enabled debugging on the integration (and then disabling it downloaded the second file). The first file is the integration Diagnostics.

[marcinbauer85]

Just FIY, I can get a feed using for instance VLC or ONVIF integration.

[user2684]

Thank you. Unfortunately even the debug log is telling much but this is my mistake since I did not make the error message verbose enough. I'll fix it in the next release (not the bug itself but the error message so for me to understand where the problem is).
Great that it is working with VLC and ONVIF as a workaround. Those are unrelated since relies on a direct connection to the camera while the HA integration is getting the stream from the cloud :-) I'll let you know as the new version is available for downloading

[user2684]

Hi, try updating to v1.0.13 just released and repeat the steps above, hopefully you should see a more verbose error message. Thanks!

[marcinbauer85]

Thanks, here you go.

Thanks. Unfortunately it doesn't help progressing :-/ We ask for a streaming handle to the Imou server and we get nothing back but no error serverside. Do you get this consistently or is it happening randomly ? Thanks

[marcinbauer85]

I didn't work even once. I'll try again to rule out stuff like the router, and maybe HA instance, and regenerate the api keys. I'll report back.

[user2684]

Thanks. I've also added #53 to help with this in the long term since as of now I don't have a list with all the models for which the integration works so not sure if other users had better luck with your camera :-/
