Photo Trap: HTTP 501 Not Implemented #20

Closed rauberdaniel closed 3 years ago

rauberdaniel commented 3 years ago

I was trying to get the photo trap working on an a6300 but all the camera returned was HTTP 501 (Not Implemented). I tried several other method strings in the JSON payload as well, which I extracted from the iOS sample app, but all of them return 501. The camera remains on "Connecting...", so there might be some initial request necessary? Do you have any idea what that might be about?

Strange, I think I got a very similar question somewhere else but for an a6000. In this case I recommended to make sure to use the most recent version of the remote control app from the PlayMemories app store instead of the version that came with the camera. But it feels like the a6300 is a much newer model, so I am not sure if the integrated "smart remote control" app even differs from the one from the PlayMemories store.

I will later try it on my a6500 (have only really done this on the old NEX-5T). Not sure if this would be comparable as the a6500 does not use the app system anymore but has the smart remote function integrated in its menus.

Updating the "Smart Remote" App on the camera did work. Thanks for the hint!

Thanks for the confirmation. Now I know the answer when others ask.
