local storage issue #1
Comments
|
Looks like we aren't able to get a previous clip from the Backyard camera, which is needed to start the stream. The missing clip causes ffmpeg to crash (I need more error checking too). I assume that camera has at least one previous motion clip? Can you set logging to DEBUG and post another log? I need to figure out how to get the previous (and future) motion clips from a local camera. |

No problem. I confirm that I have motion clips saved locally for Backyard, yes. I ejected and reseated the USB for good measure and unplugged/reseated the sync 2 module. I confirm it is accessible from the internet aswell. Debug log below: blinkbridge-1 | [12:47:53] DEBUG logging into Blink with saved creds blink.py:52 |
|
The problem is around here with downloading the latest clip: blinkbridge/blinkbridge/blink.py Line 79 in 0158825 I’ll need to dig a bit and see if there’s a different API for local videos. Do you have Blink working in Home Assistant? Are you running this bridge with Docker? |
|
As a work around you can copy a video here: /working/backyard_latest.mp4 Adjust for docker mounts. |
|
I do have Blink in Home Assistant, yes. I am running this bridge with docker inside of an unprivileged Debian Proxmox LXC. Thank you for the workaround, i'll import something there to get the bridge up and running and can focus in the frigate config for a little bit. |
|
Update on my part: As mentioned, i had subscribed to cloud on just the driveway camera to test. I also uploaded a file to the path specified for the backyard just to get it up and running. Since then i cancelled my blink subscription and confirmed that it has ended. However, the blinkbridge continues to update (and also in frigate that ive since connected). I confirm that the files are located on my local storage and not cloud. No other changes have been made to my running blinkbridge nor my blink equipment/subscription. |
|
Thanks for the update, glad to hear you've been having some luck with it. Have you restarted blinkbridge since canceling your subscription? Or perhaps it hasn't ended yet. You should be okay once the I suspect the issue is related to downloading the historical videos, but it's hard to figure it out since I don't have a local storage Blink system. |
|
My subscription ended a while back and this kept working (and updating) til i rebooted the container. I then needed to go and add a new xxx_latest.mp4 in to the directory manually but once i did the blinkbridge started running again just fine. |
|
I'm currently having the same issue as above. I have added an mp4 named: front_door_latest.mp4 kitchen_latest.mp4 lr_couch_latest.mp4 to /working however the errors persist after restarting the docker. Is there anything else I can try?: blinkbridge-1 | [concat @ 0x7aa0b5c75800] Impossible to open '/working/front_door_still_2025-04-11_18-53-44-680388.mp4' |
Thank you for your repo and the offer to review my issue.
I activated cloud subscription for one camera to test (Driveway) and confirm that this now works but Backyard still gets the same error as before. This is the camera still on local storage only.
