FishEye: fish your pictures from your Sony camera

Applications
1

FishEye is a little application that I wrote over the weekend, which fetches your pictures from your WiFi-enabled Sony camera through the “Send to smartphone func.” feature.

Thanks to @vlagged, @MeeGo-Junky and @mr.yo for the inspiration:

If the Xperia 10 IV indeed launches without camera support, I am prepared!

Feel free to file issues and feature requests on Gitlab, and let me know if you use it.

If you find camera APIs for other brands: feel free to add support, make issues, and discuss. Ultimately, I’d like this to become an all-brand camera control app.

That was impressively fast! I tried it a bit, it connected, showed the folders correctly but it didn’t display the images inside a folder. I’ll try to debug since there are no errors in console, but great work if it already works for your use case! And thanks:)

Feel free to post issues and logs on the tracker! Listing of directory contents might take a while. Or I might have messed up the QML; not my forte. :blush:

Great program - works with XA2+ and Sony RX100 VI. Had a problem sharing a reduced version of the test image with my e-mail (156kb) with the Sony cam’s WLAN open, but perhaps the transfer was not yet complete, or does SFOS have problems handling 2 WLANs?
Where are the images actually stored on the phone? There is nothing under ~/Pictures. Found it. The pictures are under ~/Downloads/FishEye/
Great job - thanks for your effort.

Hey Ruben. Super App. :wink: I have a Olympus Tough Stylus TG-3. Is it possible to fetch my pictures via Fisheye, if I fork your project and adjust the connection from Sony protocol to Olympus protocol OI.Share?

Wont be able to try this until SF releases to Xperia V, but this sounds awesome thank you!

Basically nothing can connect to two WLAN networks at the same time, not just Sailfish.

For Olympus cameras there is TrollBridge on OpenRepos but it is not available for aarch64.

Which I tried to revive/improve here, replacing Go with Python.
It’s not finished, but feel free to fork or contribute to this if you like.

By the way, at least with E/OM series cameras you don’t strictly need an app, you can access the pictures via browser if connected to the camera WiFi. The web interface is rather basic though.

I liked trollbridge a lot but a simple call of

in your browser while connected to the cameras WiFi does the job quite well.

Sounds like that could be easily integrated into FishEye too :wink:

The backends should be generic enough; you should be able to add it quite easily! Let me know if I can help with this!
