Support for Binary Protocol (non-json commands)

[devbis]

Optionally: create virtual env if not in docker:

python3 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate

Install/upgrade the library from the latest commits in the branch:

pip3 install -U --no-cache-dir --force-reinstall https://github.com/devbis/aiopppp/archive/refs/heads/binary-proto.zip
python3 -m aiopppp -a 255.255.255.255 -u admin -p admin --log-level DEBUG

I want to help, I just don't know how or where to install this, I have one raspberry with HA, one Windows laptop ...and almost zero experience on Linux.

Can I do this on windows? I tried to find out more and it looks like I can use Windows, but I need to install Python first... Am I going in the right direction?

[mabusdogma]

Ok! I think I've got it, I did it on windows, and I get a message, mostly an error:

@mabusdogma Hi, thanks for logs. I removed reuse_port for http server. Can you please install and run it again with the same commands?

[mabusdogma]

Now it works! Still no image, but getting better...

@mabusdogma Cool. I rewrote waiting for camera readiness, please, check out the new version.

[mabusdogma]

Well this time I don't see any buttons in localhost:4000, it looks like it's on a loop, waiting for an image...

[devbis]

Camera is not responding to the initial packet. You may need to repower it

[mabusdogma]

Ok, so far I've got this:

I'll try to repower it many times, just in case I can get something else. Still no image in localhost:4000.

Should I have an image? Or this is going as expected?

[devbis]

At some point camera disconnects (sends Close packet).
Maybe because of incomplete process on my side.
I added more logging. Can you please run the new code and provide logs in text format to see camera responses?

And does your camera work with cam-reverse project? Does it show image?
because I'm trying to re-implement the same flow.

[mabusdogma]

bob.txt
There's a txt file with the logs, I tried to do different things (reconnect, stop the program, un plug and plug the camera and so on...).

I'm afraid this camera it doesn't work with cam-reverse

[devbis]

@mabusdogma Hi, your log was very helpful.

I implemented an emulator that responds commands similar to A9 cams. And fixed several issues in binary protocol code.

Can you please run the code again along with capturing logs to let me fix issues.

[mabusdogma]

bob.txt

It looks like it needs the Android app to be running, if I stop it, or even if the phone screen goes off (in one minute, usually), I get an error on Python. There are some examples of that in the logs.

[devbis]

Thanks! It looks your response for DevStatus is empty. I fixed parsing in the new revision.

Do you know your camera's credentials? If uses admin:admin by default. And I don't know if the camera responds with "invalid password" as the protocol is unclear.

Anyway, another run should give us more information on starting video. And please, check login and password for the camera

UPD: I added parameters to provide credentials in cli. If you know your credentials, please, use them:

python3 -m aiopppp -a 255.255.255.255 -u admin -p admin --log-level DEBUG

[mabusdogma]

bob.txt

It looks it's user:6666
It works!!!!! :)
For a moment I can see an image, but it suddenly fades away (2 images attached)
