Single Command or Interactive Command not clear

[delucaide]

Hi everybody, the script works very well and i'm able to change the host name to the camera ( as per instruction) but it's not clear on how to form the request for the ContinuousMove or other complex commands.

for example, in the Interactive Mode: $ onvif-cli -u 'admin' -a '1234' --host '192.168.0.1' --port 80 --wsdl /etc/onvif/wsdl/ ONVIF>> cmd ptz ContinuousMove { 'ProfileToken' : 'profilePrimary' , 'Velocity' (...then it's not clear how to form the tree for the current request...)

Please somebody help me because are now 2 weeks that i'm playing with it without any solution

Does the document https://www.onvif.org/specs/srv/ptz/ONVIF-PTZ-Service-Spec-v221.pdf help you? I'm not an expert in this, but it seems the Velocity must be of type PTZSpeed, which contains the elements PanTilt (a Vector2D with two attributes x and y of type float and an optional space of type anyURI - possible values listed in said document, see sections 5.3.3 and 5.11.16 to 5.11.19) and Zoom (a Vector1D with one attribute x of type float and the optional space). Otherwise, did you try this with the upstream project https://github.com/quatanium/python-onvif too? (It will work with Python 2 only).

Hi Falk, thanks for your reply, My really problem is that i don’t know how to write the right sintax for build the tree. For example:

Cmd Ptz ContinuousMove {‘TokenProfile’ : ‘primaryprofile’ , Velocity ( now how can i say to the script that i would insert the parameter inside the Velocity?) need i use the parenthesis? Could you please send me an example please Falk.

Hi, Falk (and hi everyone!) I'm also interested because I'm currently in the same tesiture, related to the sintax.

My example: cmd ptz RelativeMove {'ProfileToken' : 'profile_id_1', 'Traslation' : {'PanTilt' : {'x' : 0.0, 'y' : 0.0}}, 'Zoom':1.0}

The CLI answers "Unknown error: The ReferenceToken type doesn't accept collections as value". It's supposed that all params have to be passed as a collection (a Python dictionary). Isn't it? Falling that, what would be the correct sintax? I've been trying different ways of passing more than 1 parameter, without success.

Thank you in advance

@jcolladoa Hi, have you solve the problem related to Reference Token ?

[onkruid]

I also had this error:

Unknown error: The ReferenceToken type doesn't accept collections as value

It turned out I had a TypeError in my request that was caught by https://github.com/FalkTannhaeuser/python-onvif-zeep/blob/d549eed77d9dd5fa23100db4090b89817d280d4c/onvif/client.py#L137-L140 the code catches the error, then assumes you have entered the params another way and tries calling the function again, which results in the above error.

I just commented out the try/except so I could see the TypeError and then fixed it.

@onkruid have you solve this error already? I get the same error right now.
