yi action camera application for sailfish os
yikes is an unofficial, bare-bones Sailfish OS application to interface with Yi Action Cameras.
It is primarily targeted towards the Yi 4k Action Camera, but with at least some features working on other models.
For example, recording Video or Photos with the Yi Discovery work, as does downloading media from the camera.
Other models may or may not work and are generally untested.
yikes is not an official product from or in any way related to Yi Technology.

You may clone this repository, open it in the Sailfish OS SDK and deploy it to your device. Keep in mind that you have to pull the python API, as well:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/jgibbon/yikes.git
yikes is not ready for general use, yet. For now you can find builds that may or may not be current on Nokius’ OBS repository. Other release channels may follow.
This is a QML/Python application, using the fabulous PyOtherside for Python/Qt bindings.
It would not be possible to without existing work at Yi4kAPI, which we forked and misused a bit for this.
