Problem with audio_stream_capture
Hi,
Probably, I'm doing something wrong but in my case method audio_stream_capture never returns. I call it like this:
camera.audio_send_stream(httptype="singlepart", path_file=<path_to_file>, channel=1, encode="AAC")
<... other_logic ...>
My camera plays the sound successfully (length of the file is ~3 sec) but the method never returns and "<... other_logic ...>" below never executes. I also tried to play with httptype=multipart but in this case, I hear no sound from the camera.
I also tried pure Amcrest REST API and basically have the same result. HTTP request takes too long (> 30 secs for 3 sec audio file), I hear sound but never get HTTP-response since it just hits a timeout.
So the question is, what is the proper way to send audio to a camera? :)
@tischenko Looks like it's a know issue for us :( We might be facing some issues in firmware. However, what's the current firmware and camera that you are using?
Some discussion already happened here: https://github.com/tchellomello/python-amcrest/issues/75
I think I'm on the latest firmware for IP2M-841 - 2.420.AC00.10.R 1/6/2016. Did you try to reach out to Amcrest support team regarding this issue?
@tischenko regarding this audio no. Please let us know if you are going to open a ticket with them.
Quick update on this. After chatting with the support team and providing all the details about the problem, they have passed the problem to the development department. No estimates or further feedback was provided but my support ticket is still opened.
@tischenko Any update on this ticket? I'm having a similar problem using audio_send_stream
Thanks for your reply @tischenko. I have one open for quite a bit too and I'm still waiting.
