Downloading recordings #12
Description
Hi,
thank you for the project.
I am trying to download all video files which I list with conn.files()
This is the function I am using:
def download(file):
socket = Socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
conn = DVRIPClient(socket)
conn.connect((argv[1], DVRIP_PORT), argv[2], argv[3])
sock = Socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
sock.connect((argv[1], DVRIP_PORT))
namepart = file.name.split('/')
print(namepart)
newname = "{}-{}".format(namepart[2], namepart[4])
if os.path.exists(newname):
have = os.path.getsize(newname)
if have == file.length*1024:
print("file complete")
return
sz = 0
lastping = 0
rdr = conn.download(sock, file.name)
with open(newname, 'wb') as out:
while True:
chunk = rdr.read(16)
sz += len(chunk)
#print(sz)
if not chunk: break
out.write(chunk)
out.flush()
if time.time() > lastping + 10:
lastping = time.time()
print(conn.storageinfo())
sock.close()
this only started working after I patched playback like this:
diff --git a/dvrip/playback.py b/dvrip/playback.py
index 6668ce5..4ad296f 100644
--- a/dvrip/playback.py
+++ b/dvrip/playback.py

transport: fixedmember = fixedmember('TransMode', 'TCP') # TODO

class Playback(Object):
action: member[PlaybackAction] = member('Action')
I took the parameter from a capture I made during download using the original activeX plugin:
"Name" : "OPPlayBack", "OPPlayBack" : { "Action" : "Claim", "EndTime" : "2023-10-26 08:28:41", "Parameter" : { "FileName" : "/idea0/2023-10-26/001/08.25.00-08.28.41[R][@355c][0].h264", "IntelligentPlayBackEvent" : "", "IntelligentPlayBackSpeed" : -1, "PlayMode" : "ByName", "StreamType" : 0, "TransMode" : "TCP", "Value" : 0 }, "StartTime" : "2023-10-26 08:25:00" }, "SessionID" : "0x763" }
Before this, the downloaded file didn't match the FileSize parameter (maybe related to #9 ?)
There is one weird thing though, I need to keep "pinging" the api using some command (see conn.storageinfo() in my code) to prevent the download from freezing. This helps but it still freezes sometimes.
Do you have some idea how to make this flawless?
