gadspot gs1200g

[tedhuntington]

I got the gs1200 working with linux by disabling the DHCP and just using a static IP for it. With the DHCP it was sending an HTML packet instead of TCP packets, and got caught constantly resending the first packet.

And this allows the camera to work with vlc. But I still can't get ZM to get and image from it. Any ideas? The network address is in red. Also there is Disk: -1% (but there is enough disk space). I click on Zones "1" and it just opens a window with a black square.


Here is the code I use in Linux to get an image from the gs1200:

ipconfig.c
========
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>

//#define BUFFSIZE 32
#define BUFFSIZE 2048
void Die(char *mess) { perror(mess); exit(1); }


//this is a client that establishes a TCP session with another client
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

int sock;
struct sockaddr_in echoserver;
char buffer[BUFFSIZE];
unsigned int echolen;
int received = 0,status=0,bytes=0,numbytes;
char ip[20],port[10];
FILE *fptr;
char send1[512]; //http request getimage string

//copy in HTML string to request image
fptr=fopen("ffsend.txt","rb");
fread(&send1,427,1,fptr);
// fptr=fopen("iesend.txt","rb");
// fread(&send1,302,1,fptr);
fclose(fptr);


strcpy(ip,"192.168.0.106");
strcpy(port,"80"); //1047 80

if ((sock = socket(PF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,IPPROTO_TCP)) < 0) {
Die("Failed to create socket\n");
}


memset(&echoserver, 0, sizeof(echoserver));
echoserver.sin_family = AF_INET;
echoserver.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(ip);
echoserver.sin_port = htons(atoi(port));

if (connect(sock,(struct sockaddr *)&echoserver,sizeof(echoserver))<0) {
Die("Failed to connect with server\n");
}


//Send the HTTP request for an image
if (write(sock,send1,427)!= 427) {

// if (send(sock,send1,302,0) != 302) { //ie
Die("Failed to send bytes to client");
}

fptr=fopen("out.jpg","wb");
numbytes=0;
while ((status=read(sock,buffer,sizeof(buffer)-1))>0) {
//remove http info
if (numbytes+status>227) {
if (numbytes<228) {
fwrite(buffer+(227-numbytes),status-(227-numbytes),1,fptr);
} else {
fwrite(buffer,status,1,fptr);
}
}

numbytes+=status;
}
fclose(fptr);


fprintf(stdout,"done\n");
close(sock);
exit(0);

} //end main

and the binary file must have the exact characters:
ffsend.txt:

(followed by 0d0a cr and lf or just get the file from tedhuntington/ffsend.txt)

then simply add your camera's IP, and compile with
gcc -o ipconfig ipconfig.c

the jpg will write to out.jpg.


Can anybody help me figure out why ZM won't work when vlc does?

thanks
