Hi, Is there anyone here that can help with this ... I was able to add a couple of lines to output the variables ...

  1. thumbURL = https://rest-u008.immedia-semi.com1647960212.jpg
  2. thumbPath = H:\Google Drive!!_Photos_Videos\Blink\Home\Garage\thumbnail_1647960212.jpg

Sure looks like something is wrong in $thumbURL , but I'm not sure what it's supposed to be. Is there another folder, or is it just missing a / ?

Thanks, Steve

I'm able to download new files without a problem. Make sure you are using the latest revision that is out there.

You can download new thumbnails ok ?

I have a modified version I've been using, but I'll get the latest native version and try it over the weekend.

Are you getting the thumbnails ? I got the latest version and it still doesn't work. Videos are fine, no problem. Just cant get the thumbnails... just like in the original screenshot.... looks like it's missing a / before the jpg filename. I added that and still no luck ... Then I get a 404 error , file not found.

Is no one else having this issue ?

I am having this same issue with the same error. I've tried various things to update the $thumbURL but none have worked. Sure would appreciate some help with this!

Finally glad to hear something else is happening issue. Not that I want anyone to have the issue. I have also tried several things to try to get that URL correct, nothing worked. I hope somebody someday with insight to were these files are located can help us

Is there some documentation somewhere on the Blink API? I have looked and haven't found anything that talks about the thumbnails.

@ttteee90

Looks like the API has changed a bit.
I came across this ...

https://github.com/fronzbot/blinkpy/blob/1a75592c1b0b535d7e5346df3cbfcd077d39bbff/blinkpy/camera.py#L179

... That references the thumbnail returns a time stamp and that appears to be the case here.

The program referenced is a Python script, and I am not a Python user so can't tell exactly, but it does mention several API changes over time. We are back to the thumbnail URL being incorrect, but I have tried multiple ways to fix it and have still been unsuccessful. Hoping one of the original authors of this script can chime in.

I asked @nayrk a good while ago if he could help with this issue, with which I also have a problem, and he didn't get back to me. It is a nice to have only for me, and not essential. The videos still work, so I live with it as is, as I certainly don't want to pester anyone, but I thought I would post to confirm that it won't just be us few, it will be all.

Blink have a habit of changing things on their API, and this is clearly one of them. How anyone finds out where the thumbnails are now I have no idea. Sadly, it's only a matter of time before they alter the location of the videos too, and then they will also stop working.

One thing's for sure, it isn't a missing backslash, or anything else like that, because the thumbnails worked perfectly with this script for many many months.

I hope someone can chime in with a solution.

Good luck all.

Yes, so do I .. would love to have the thumbnails, and also not have all the error messages in the window.

Thank you for digging in to the doorbell video issue. If you can figure out the thumbnail issue that would be most appreciated!

I saw you commented in the doorbell issue, and referenced back to here, so I just thought I'd nip back in to say, I'd also be really pleased to have this issue solved. I don't have a doorbell, but I'm glad that particular issue has been solved for others.

My need for the camera ID thumbnails kind of disappeared, when I deployed a newer camera, which had the photo capture option, which served my particular purpose, but still, it's a nice to have, so I'd welcome it back.
