Could not extract camera info: {'message': 'Camera not found', 'code': 500}

[MarkusKress]

I have the same Error during

blink.refresh(force=True)
or
blink.refresh():

Error is:
Could not extract camera info: {'message': 'Camera not found', 'code': 500}
Could not find thumbnail for camera unknown

I'm using 0.17.1

Hi @MarkusKress sorry about the delay here.

Three questions:

1. How are you running the library? Just CLI or using home assistant, etc?
2. Can you reproduce the error by starting a fresh Blink instance (whether in HA or CLI) and using the refresh function?
3. Do the other cameras in your system still update despite the error (or does it prevent everything else from working)?

Here my answers: 1.) I'm using python3 (but I'm a python beginner). 2.) Yes, but actually it seems I can't make a snapshot anymore. Login is ok and I get a List of my camera using: for name, camera in blink.cameras.items(): print(name) # Name of the camera print(camera.attributes) 3.) Using camera = blink.cameras['Stall'] # Stall is the camera Name from "print(name)" I got this error with "blink.refresh()" or "blink.refresh(force=True)" Could not extract camera info: {'message': 'Camera not found', 'code': 500} Could not find thumbnail for camera unknown Am So., 12.

Maybe this is relevant, maybe not. If I have mini cameras on my account I would keep getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/src/src/BLINK/blinkhome.py", line 24, in
blink.refresh()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/blinkpy/helpers/util.py", line 144, in wrapper
result = method(*args, *kwargs)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/blinkpy/blinkpy.py", line 93, in refresh
sync_module.refresh(force_cache=(force or force_cache))
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/blinkpy/sync_module.py", line 196, in refresh
self.cameras[camera_name].update(camera_info, force_cache=force_cache)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/blinkpy/camera.py", line 133, in update
self.extract_config_info(config)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/blinkpy/camera.py", line 139, in extract_config_info
self.name = config.get("name", "unknown")
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

Tracked it down to changing blinkpy/sync_module.py around line 195 from:

self.cameras[camera_name].update(camera_info, force_cache=force_cache)

to:

        if camera_info != None:
            self.cameras[camera_name].update(camera_info, force_cache=force_cache)

This let's me keep the minis on my account without killing the apps when refresh is called.

Cheers,
