echo show not working with cameras

Hey Robert, your attention is really appreciated, but a short reply for our echo problem is welcome, even when a fix will need some time. Best Toto

@themlruts Did you have to purchase a license for Scrypted??? We also use our Echo devices as baby monitors and would like these to start working again. Thank You

I have had the same problem for weeks. However, with a slight deviation.
I have 2 Echo Show 8 1st generation. On these, the playback of the cameras (different types) works without any action. But there are also days when nothing works. And then it’s fine again a day later.
I also have an Echo Show 15, on which the camera playback has not worked for weeks.
It doesn’t seem to be the same problem as in October 2023 (expired certificate). Otherwise it wouldn’t work on any device and it wouldn’t work all the time. Is Amazon involved with “new features” again?
It would be great if there will be a solution to the problem. I would also be prepared to pay a monthly/annual fee for a better service, e.g. like for “MyMedia”.

In my opinion is Monoclecam dead, because Roberts last Login was 23.October 2024 ! What a pitty

@flynmoose Thank you for the information. I setup docker/scrypted on my RASPI 4 and got it working with little effort. It seems to work well in my testing so far. It even let’s alexa display a group of cameras at a time unlike the monocle skill. I’m pretty pleased.
I guess this is the end of my run with MonocleCam. It was pretty good while it lasted and I appreciate the development work up to this point.
Thanks again for sharing your experience with scrypted!

@ifloyd How much does it cost? Scrypted I mean?
-
@slime-uk in order to achieve the same functionality as monoclecam, nothing. There is a paid version that includes more features and is geared towards full NVR functionality.

Yes what a shame - a good run though. Seems we all need to find a replacement. Thanks to all involved in Monocle over the years.

@ifloyd I have been at this a few days and it doesn’t appear to be a straight forward to accomplish as led to believe here. I am a systems engineer by trade, but can’t seem to get this working. Can you include a link or post your instructions to get this working? I am using Unifi Cameras and I installed Scrypted on a Windows 11 box. I was able to get the cameras in scripted, but when trying to enable the app in the alexa app, it is asking for a scripted cloud login and I did the trail version, which I believe was only for the NVR and even that never worked. Thoughts?
-
@BulldogBorn worked for me just following the Scrypted instructions. You need to enable the Scrypted skill in Alexa and link with the free Scrypted account you created in Scrypted cloud.
-
I couldn’t get it working either, I’ve a similar background to you, been in IT 40 years in various roles.
Alexa integration, won’t work for me either, I do have the cameras in scrypted
It’s not really intuitive to my old brain!!

@papaspapa Did you install it used the desktop app in windows? Or how did you do it?

@papaspapa Figured it out
