Title: IP Camera "For obscure reasons could not handle the message"
Post by: gaspala on November 29, 2008, 02:55:29 AM
I have a Panasonic IP Camera that was working fine. I recently reinstalled LMCE 710. After re-installation, LMCE recognized the camera.
    - It created a device under 'Surveillance Cameras'
    - It created a device (with the same id) under Generic Serial Devices
I reloaded router and regenerated screens. New camera appears under UI2 on the MD.

However, any time I try to view the camera,
    - All the buttons appear but there is no image on the MD
   - After a few seconds, DCE router is reloaded automagically

I viewed the error log and I found the following lines within xx_Generic_Serical_Device.log that corresponds to the camera.
     For obscure reasons could not handle the message <0xb5885b90>
     Receive string failed in HandleRequestSocket 18:ReceiveData failed Command_Impl1 Dev #47 <0xb6086b90>

I have tried it several times, and the results are the same. Sometimes, I got the following error message when the device status is '**RUN_GET_IR**'
    Connect() failed, Error Code 111

Any idea what is broken here ?

Hi Gaspla,

We have 3 Panasonic cameras and I have seen the strange status that you mention momentarily on one camera during one of our test installations. For now I would manually add a new camera device - Using the panasonic template - from Webadmin, Surveillance Cameras and copy the Path, IP address, and MAC address from the original entry.

Good Luck!

I tried your suggestion, it didn't work.
I prayed but the gods refused to answer (:-(

Now, I am using 'Generic Motion IP Camera'. The light on the camera is blinking constantly. I guess its due to Motion grabbing snapshots.

I enabled 'STATUS' logs and the following diagnostic information was logged

           Received Message type 1 ID 84 from 20 to 57 (device: 57) resp 1 <0xb606cb90>

Command 84 is 'Get Video Frame'. Wiered.

did you by any chance do a sqlCVS update?

No, I didn't do any sqlCVS update.

When it didn't work, all I did was get linuxmce source code using svn.

I am not sure what is the relationship with sqlCVS. How do I find out if any sqlCVS has been issued or what was changed ?

When I tried to find what is wrong, I issued 'ConfirmDependencies' a few times. But, that command didn't give me any useful result.

Last night, downloaded the ISO image, installed LMCE with a clean slate. It still failed for the same reason.

When I added the camera, it displayed it was downloading 'Generic Serial Device'. I am not sure, it is downloading latest and greatest version from linuxmce.org or somewhere. If so, it is definitely broken now.
