Since I can’t edit or delete orig post, disregard. I symlinked xterm to gnome-terminal and now get the yellow transfer report window, but only shows the heading and never connects and downloads. Set logging to debug but nothing in the log files either.

UPDATE: deleted symlink and installed xterm, now back to normal downloads. So, airnef requires the xterm app and won’t work with a symlink to other terminal apps.

Just got the RX100M2. 5 minutes to set up WiFi (I have a hidden ESSID and typing it in using a crappy phone-like keyboard sucked) the Canon has full keyboard which was nice.
I ran an app called sony-guid-setter which is part of sony-pm-alt at
https://github.com/falk0069/sony-pm-alt

It mimics PlayHome and sets up the camera connected via USB instantly. I ran this, set up the SSID, selected ‘Send to Computer’ and ran aiarnef in auto and it instantly found camera and downloaded test pic.

If you run the sony-pm-alt as daemon, it looks for the Sony in connect mode then auto runs an app like gphoto2 or it can as easily run airnefcmd so you don’t have to launch a desktop app – it auto downloads for you (pretty cool).

I’m a happy camper now with a quick wireless way to get pics. Thanks for your input and creating airnef.

Ah, OK – got it. Sony RX100M2 arrives Thursday so I get to finally have WiFi transfers. Canon G7X is on CL for some Windoze user to use CameraWindow (which works great, BTW if you are running Win-OS).

[skyking]

After wasting over 4 days of my time, I have abandoned my efforts with this. The G7X seems to be customized to communicate only with Windows or OSX (sends mDNS requests after not getting SSDP response).

A Win7 capture shows at least three separate HTTP GETS using various .dll?content= <different values> with HTTP xml returns, all before the first PTP/IP Init.

I have tried using both linux ushare and ssdpd daemons that accept SSDP requests and return SSDP location for camera to do HTTP GET where location is IP/description.xml and the camera never seems to accept the HTTP response so never initiates an HTTP GET. I have the computer hostname as the <friendlyname> tag in xml and this is what shows up on the camera as a Device in the list to connect to.

If I want airnef to work I’ll have to trade the G7X for a Sony RX100M2.

[skyking]

If you need to see the entire Win7/CameraWindow WS capture (with all initial SSDP and HTML), PM me and send me an address where I can email the entire capture file as an attachment.

[skyking]

I did notice that the Canon sets up a Device (as in ASUS-G75) using the SSDP and HTTP GET first, then you have to select the device for it to continue to ‘Searching’. No PTP/IP takes place until camera is Searching. You can also add a device and it will search for a new device but doesn’t use PTP/IP.

Bytes in Win7 and airnef Init Cmd before GUID and hostname don’t match?

Win7 WireShark capture of just PTP/IP:

• This reply was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by skyking.

[skyking]

…so from reading about the sony-pm-alt it looks like on a Sony you select ‘Send to PC’ which would make sense that it’s broadcasting SSDP/uPnP to a listener on the PC side.

The Canon is ‘Searching’ for something on the PC side, so makes sense it is not broadcasting SSDP/uPnP.

I also assume tha all of the HTTP GET from both Camera and PC are just pre-init setup stuff and not required for actual PTP/IP commands.?

[skyking]

Hi Adam, thanks for responding.

First, I looked at the WireShark capature running Canon CameraWindow on Win7. There’s a lot going on before the Init Command Request.
No upnp broadcast from camera that I thought would be there with camera in Connect to Computer mode
PC sends SSDP
Camera does HTTP GET /upnphost/udhisapi.dll?content-uuid:xxxxx-xxxx-xxx-xx
PC Sends HTTP XML
PC sends SSDP
PC does HTTP GET /upnp/CameraDevDesc.xml
Camera Sends HTTP XML
Now finally PC sends Init Command Req and Camera replies with Connection

Here is the capture running linux and airnef using the GUID that the PC sent the camera in Win7 CameraWindow: (camera is in ‘Searching for Computer’ mode)

Camera always returns 05 Init Failed

Not sure how much of the Win7 capture to send…

I did run across some gphoto2 stuff in searching for solutions. Here’s one:

https://github.com/falk0069/sony-pm-alt

and this:

Adam, if you check here for folks having issues, I have tried everything with the gui and camera (wifi resets) with no luck. I have now tried running command line and changing GUID there:

./airnefcmd –ipaddress 192.168.1.21 –action listfiles –initcmdreq_guid 5c:26:0a:65:9a:54

Same result ‘camera rejecting guid’ error. I’d be happy to try out different things to find a solution if you could give me some ideas and guidance. Thanks.

[skyking]

Update: Tried airnef v1.0 and error is now: badhostsomething expected x02 got x05 which I guess in v1.1 means bad GUID?

Looks like Canon G7X is not going to accept the the GUID from airnef at all.
