Python program airnef not working on Canon 3000D

Question

Sadly Canon doesn't provide the EOS Utility for the Canon 3000D camera for wireless real time image transfer to computer.

I'm currently attempting to use the airnef software by testcams.com, its a open source python based application. It hasn't been updated since 2016 so hence its not working for the Canon 3000D.

The Airnef application runs and connect to the camera, it even managed to get the camera model and the serial number. But when it comes to downloading the image, I get the error below.

MTP_OP_GetObjectInfo: Socket error, partial data received - 0x0 of 0x0 bytes for specific payload, 0x0 of 0x0 of total data bytes expected. Error: timed out

Wireshark Log

Below is the wireshark capture I did when I plugged the USB into the computer and ran the "Download all images automatically" from the Canon EOS Utility. I found a capture that shows the image file name on the camera. Hope this can be of help

Sadly (as I also specified in my other answer) I don't have a camera, so I can't reproduce the error. Also there I got lucky (because after a series of trial and error ping pong, the issue got fixed). Did you play with the arguments, as the other answer? But on the other hand it seems like your camera protocol doesn't seem to be implemented by *airnef* (this is just a guess based on the 0 of 0 bytes errors). Maybe @Besi might have more insights. On the other hand, if you could somehow provide access to your camera, I could try some debugging (when time will allow me to). — CristiFati, Nov 29 '20 at 17:02
let's talk here (where the actual question is), there's no need to do it via separate channels (*LinkedIn*). As I said, I'm not sure how to go on. Maybe reading *airnef* and camera *doc*s (*API*s) would be a good start. Again, it would be a lot easier if I somehow could access the camera (not sure if possible). — CristiFati, Nov 29 '20 at 19:45
What can I do on my end to get details on the camera's protocol ? I'm not sure how to give you camera access, I can only think of teamviewer. — Jon, Nov 29 '20 at 19:58
*TeamViewer* offers too much access, you don't want to do that (even if I want to help, but in some cases you might encounter people with malicious intents). Also I mentioned that I could work on that when the time will allow it (and I have a funny feeling being observed ("*have the phobia that someone's always there*" :) )). It all depends on how your network is setup. For example if your *Wi-FI* is behind a router (that has a public *IP*) you could use port forwarding to a specific (camera's) *IP* in your internal network. But again it might take (too much) time for me to figure it out. — CristiFati, Nov 29 '20 at 20:12
Do you think we can find out which protocol Canon 3000D is using from the http://www.gphoto.org/proj/ source code? — Jon, Dec 01 '20 at 20:38
I have a wireshark capture of when the Canon 3000D is plugged into my PC via USB till downloading the images from the camera using EOS Utility 3. If that helps? — Jon, Dec 01 '20 at 22:35
@CristiFati I've added a wireshark capture above. Hopefully this can be of help? — Jon, Dec 02 '20 at 12:38
Hmm, I can't figure out from that what the problem could be. But I must say that I didn't have too much time to spend on the matter as well. — CristiFati, Dec 02 '20 at 14:36
Weird, after running the program so many times, it somehow managed to GetObjectInfo for the first item. (this only happened once and I can't get it to do it again). — Jon, Dec 03 '20 at 12:24

Python program airnef not working on Canon 3000D
