Sequence number In VISCA packet not incrementing

[BrianAu211]

Hello, first time submitting to GitHub.
I am having trouble with this module communicating with Aver PTZ330 cameras.
The first command sent works, but any further commands sent within several seconds of the first is ignored.
Tried the Sony VISCA module which works (mostly).
Did some Wireshark analysis to see why one packet works every time and the other doesn't, and noticed that the Sony module increments the Sequence number in the packet and the Aver module doesn't.
Is it possible to add the incrementing sequence feature from the Sony VISCA module?

Thanks!

That was by choice on my part. I had limited access to the camera and it appeared to work without the sequence incrementing. I'll update the module to include an incrementing sequence after the holidays. Thank you for your submission.

Awesome, thank you! It seems to only care that the next packet is not equal to the last packet if the second is received within about 4-5 seconds of the first. I’ve successfully alternated between a 1 and 2 in that field in rapid succession without issue.

Ok, the module has been updated to include the incremental sequence. I've also notified the Bitfocus team so the module update will be included in the next Bitfocus update. For now you can use the developer mode, setting up your environment for your o/s, and use the update. I'll close the issue once it's been bundled with Bitfocus.

Thank you! I'll check it out as soon as I can

The update is now available in beta version 3.5.0+7666. You can download the beta to access it. I will keep this issue open until the end of the month or until you provide feedback, whichever happens first. I don't anticipate any issues, as the update is in line with the VISCA protocol.

I was able to install the beta today and test it out on a camera and can confirm that it now responds to consecutive commands. Thank you for making that change, that will be very helpful for my church, as we control 4 of them primarily via stream deck.
