Remote control via Port 1499 not working in WIN 10


Andrew Cool

Question

I have a remote control program that connects via port 1499 and works well under WIN 7 64 bit.

On a  new WIN 10 64bit PC the camera connects, take a photo, but the getispictureready status returns as False for ever and a day.

If I first issue a getstatus status command, that always returns as 'Busy'. If I comment that out, hte code moves on and takes an image as described above,

and the getispictureready  status is always False.

I have emailed the working code from my WIN 7 laptop to my new WIN10 desktop, so it is the identical code on both machines.

I have re-installed BEOS 3.1.18, on the WIN 10 PC, but that made no difference.

Is there a known problem with remote control under WIN 10 v1909, fully updated.

Camera is a Canon 5D MKIII

 

Thanks,

Andrew Cool

You'll have to deal with Opening that port - TCP:1499 - in your PC Firewall App.  (And first, you'll need to identify which Program is performing that Firewall function - look to your AntiVirus software).

This is a per-PC setting, so even if this were another Win7 PC, you'd have to do the same...

The easiest way (for a non-computer savvy) to ensure the firewall allows the command to pass through is to actually change the port number.

Try the following.

  1. Start BYE and change the port to something other than 1499, say 1599.  
  2. Make sure you also have "Enable TCP Server" checked
  3. Save your settings and close BYE
  4. Restart BYE and <<ACCEPT>> all Windows firewall warnings.
  5. Change your program to connect on port 1599 instead of 1499.

Regards,
