speed download video

[Robert-Petrosian]

good afternoon! Can you please tell me, the video from the camera using the iwms 4200 program is downloaded at an average speed of 50 megabits, but using isapi, the speed does not rise above 2.4 kilobytes.

Hello! I recently found a problem regarding the default video type that forced the app to transcode, resulting in a very slow download. Can you try updating the app and seeing if it works correctly now?

I'm not using your application specifically, I'm using a few methods from your code, specifically downloading videos. I will be very grateful if you help me with my problem. I request video from the camera using xml
'xml = """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <CMSearchDescription> <searchID>C77384AD-66A0-0001-E7C2-1151F04F90B0</searchID> <trackIDList> <trackID>101</trackID> </trackIDList> <timeSpanList> <timeSpan> <startTime>2022-07-05T00:00:00Z</startTime> <endTime>2022-07-05T23:59:59Z</endTime> </timeSpan> </timeSpanList> <maxResults>40</maxResults> <searchResultPosition>0</searchResultPosition> <metadataList> <metadataDescriptor>//recordType.meta.std-cgi.com</metadataDescriptor> </metadataList> </CMSearchDescription>"""', link = 'http://admin:[email protected]/ISAPI/ContentMgmt/search/',
stream I download them using xml = '<?xml version='1.0'?> <downloadRequest> <playbackURI>{}</playbackURI> </downloadRequest>'
and link = 'requests.get("http://admin:[email protected]/ISAPI/ContentMgmt/download", data=xml, stream=True, timeout = 15'.
But unlike iwms, I have a very low download speed, even over a local network.
instead of {} I substitute my data via '.format'

Maybe it has something to do with the stream=True? Have you tried using hikload using the commandline/GUI to see if the issue persists? Maybe this will help us see where is the problem.

i tried to use command line to boot with your program, same slow speed
hikload --server 192.168.1.64 --username admin --password psaaword --no-ffmpeg 2/4 [03:08<03:27, 103.69s/it]
Using my method, it is 132 seconds for a 256 megabyte file, which is also very long compared to iwms 4200.
when downloading from iwms 35 seconds, it takes 249 megabytes to download the file. Through your script, a 74 megabyte file downloaded for 103 seconds
