Mevo Start #731

Open soundiesam opened 2 years ago

soundiesam commented 2 years ago

I would like to control the Mevo Start PTZ functionality. This functionality is controlled VIA NDI control I believe its the same functionality as the NDI PTZ Camera.

This may not be possible as MEVO don't allow access to there API but was hoping that it might be something in the NDI SDK that would make this work.

Seems that at one point there was supposed to be an SDK, but it may have become vaporware? Searching a bit, I was able to find this C++ library fork which has mevo in the repo name... Maybe this is one of the libraries they use for communication with the Mevo Start? Faye is a pub/sub framework and has a set of libraries available for various programming languages and platforms. It could hint at one possible API being based on websockets. The Mevo mobile apps also appear to use Bluetooth for some connectivity (WiFi connection onboarding) or discovery of the device. An Open Source alternative for controlling the Mevo would go a long way towards preventing E-waste in the case that Logitech decides to EoL the devices and support at some point.

Looking at the new Logi/Mevo Core camera (https://www.mevo.com/products/mevo-core) makes a Companion control more attractive for sure!

A really cool feature would be to "record the api calls sent by the app and save them as a macro/sequence for playback" - which would be kinda like macros in the ATEM.
