How to use YiScanner.1.2.14?

[Deee46]

need help, can anyone tell me how to use this quickly? i tried reading the readme but when i ran the "Wikiled.YiScanner.exe" by double clicking it it just opens a black screen..

i did edit "service.json" to reflect 192.168.1.5. but do i have to change anything in appsettings.json?

or did i understand on how this works? my goal is to save/copy all files from ftp to my Windows 2011 server as i have 4 bay 2TB there..

Thanks all in advance.

Hi, what OS you are using?
I suspect it is some older windows version.
Please install .NET 4.6.2 Framework

i am running Windows Server 2011.. looks like the 4.6.2 framework did the trick but after running the .exe i have this screenshot below but i do not see the files being pulled from ftp.. i did not touch any settings aside from the "host name" in service.json so it should copy from to my D drive but no folders or files etc.

what am i missing? do i have to edit or touch anything in appsettings? Thank you.

That's by design as in this mode (monitoring) it will download only new images/videos only (with a small delay).
In monitoring mode, once service/app started it creates the list of all images on the camera and only downloads new images.
I suppose I could change that, but if you want to download all existing videos you can use command:
Wikiled.YiScanner.exe Download -Cameras=1080i -Hosts=192.168.0.202 -Out=c:\out
In next version, I can add configuration option, which would tell the app to download all existing videos.

@AndMu - all good now. once again thank you and will wait for the next release. how i wish time stamp will be kept when copying but i guess it is what it is..

my Yi watermark is a few hours behind too :-( i guess that's what i get from being cheapo lol..

Added new release.
If you add new option: "All":true
It will download all images (not downloaded before)
