Does not find HX60V, need to specify IP address #16

Closed mungewell closed 8 years ago

mungewell commented 8 years ago

Got my hands on a DSC-HX60V, and sample scripts do not find it by default as it allocates a different IP address/range.

Needed to include the actual IP address, after which it seems to work (see below)

-      camera = SonyAPI()
+      camera = SonyAPI(QX_ADDR='http://192.168.122.1:8080/')

Should also note that the 'remote control' function of this camera is one of Sony's PlayMemories Apps running on the camera.The list of current support features may be interesting: https://www.playmemoriescameraapps.com/portal/usbspec.php?eid=IS9104-NPIA09014_00-F00002

in case of QX10, it was 'http://10.0.0.1:10000' so if there are no params, default is 10.0.0.1:10000. I can fix this like below:

In terms of specify the IP/URL of camera manual, I agree it's a useful ability and can 'just' be done on the command line.

The camera(s) supposedly have a uPNP characteristic which should allow them to be automatically discovered. There's a big long write up on how someone solved this here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21340286/windows-compatibility-with-the-sony-camera-remote-api

SonyAPI class had upnp but that upnp is not work on my mac that day. So I commented to there 'it is not work' i should test again. Thanks your comment it looks useful

mungewell commented 8 years ago

Found a few other projects on GitHub which had implemented the uPNP stuff and 'borrowed' some code from this one (under the MIT license). https://github.com/storborg/sonypy/blob/master/sonypy/discovery.py

Not fully tested as don't have HX60 with me this week, but you might like to try: https://github.com/mungewell/sony_camera_api/tree/new_discover

Theres a new script in the examples folder.

Closing bug as automatic uPNP detection now works on HX60.
