ZM with mobile camera, getting error Can't call method "get_Encoding" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/zmonvif-probe.pl

[bisana]

Hi All,
I am trying out ZM (1.30.4) to work with Android phone. I have installed “IP-Webcam” on my lenova P1ma40 (Android 5.1, Kernel version 3.10.6s).
I have noticed that I can see the video
through the url “http://192.168.1.113:8080/”
Also through the VLC Streaming
Also I can see the latest image shot through http://192.168.1.113:8080/shot.jpg

When I do a “/usr/bin/zmonvif-probe.pl profiles http://192.168.1.113:8080/onvif/device_service 1.1”
I get
root@zm:/var/log/zm# /usr/bin/zmonvif-probe.pl profiles http://192.168.1.113:8080/onvif/device_service 1.1

Can't call method "get_Encoding" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/zmonvif-probe.pl line 256.

Guidance and advice requested on solving this issue, like to know why I am I getting message
Can't call method "get_Encoding" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/zmonvif-probe.pl line 256

Thanks

You could give zmNinja a try. It is in the Google Store and is the one of best ZM interface for Android and has a good track record. Also desktop versions and for iPhone / iPad / iPod.

So you want to use your phone as a webcam, right?

ahhh I see now! ripping through the posts I missed the facts! I have seen some solutions to streaming a phone camera and using ZM. Be interesting to see what suggestions pop up.

Thanks for the reply, I am lost here.
Does it mean the ZM repo has been update with the fixes or user have to do the fixes.
thanks

The PR has been merged to master and is available in the nightly builds and zmrepo I think.
