Hello - I am trying to get the Hyperdeck connected via Python. But I am getting an error. What am I doing wrong? Error message in BOLD below:

Something wrong in the script you are using. What specific script is this ?

Hey GSwann, I'm running into the same error trying to connect to hyperdeck via python with the scripts from the Blackmagic website's developer/product/hyperdeck page:

"HyperDeck INFO: Connecting to 192.168.1.151:9993...
HyperDeck ERROR: Failed to connect: BaseEventLoop.create_connection() got an unexpected keyword argument 'loop'
WebUI INFO: Starting web server on localhost:8080"

I'd be interested to hear if you found the issue. I'm able to connect over ethernet via the HyperDeck Setup program, but there's no controls in there of course.

Hi Eric,

Please download a patch for the Blackmagic HyperDeck Protocol demo from:
https://bmdseeds.sharefile.com/d-sde1e4bfc9f7043739499cc61ff101264

To apply patch:

Code: Select all

$ cd Blackmagic\ HyperDeck\ Protocol

Please let me know if you require further assistance with the patch.

Getting a similar issue using the Blackmagic Design - Hyperdeck UI code attempting to connect to a ShuttleHD

Code: Select all

python3 Main.py {169.254.68.156}
HyperDeck INFO: Connecting to {169.254.68.156}:9993...
HyperDeck ERROR: Failed to connect: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known
WebUI INFO: Starting web server on localhost:8080

Had a similar issue yesterday, applied the patch but it didn't seem to have any effect but then eventually it did connect (after doing factory reset, change IP addresses etc etc). Worked fine for rest of day.

I can use

Code: Select all

 nc 169.254.68.156 9993

and issue commands via the terminal.

Hi Trevor,

Can you retry the command without the {} braces around the IP address?

Code: Select all

python3 Main.py 169.254.68.156

Cameron

Doh! Haven't tested this yet but that makes a lot of sense
