example/sony_camera_liveview.py code could not work at the a6000 #34

I tried the live view sample code by a6000, i could not got the liveview jpeg dump. When I read the official reference it turned out that old models can not transition to liveview mode unless they hit "StartRecMode" after camera start . It solved this. For your information.

Hi, Late to reply, but thanks for the report. The example code should already call 'StartRecMode()' if the camera has that function available. https://github.com/Bloodevil/sony_camera_api/blob/master/src/example/pyLiveView.py#L95

Can you run 'dump_camera_capabilities.py' and post the results.

Note that for the a6000 you will need to install the improved 'Smart Remote Control' application on the camera, the pre-installed app is fairly basic. https://www.playmemoriescameraapps.com/portal/usbdetail.php?eid=IS9104-NPIA09014_00-F00002
