Panasonic Imgapp web protocol hacks

  • it seems like it's 22 secs video and thus its bitrate is about 41 Mbit/s. So definitely not a 200Mbps encode.. :(

  • @JOFO I think what is happening is similar to what would happen to the GH2. The encoder is stressed out, and then drops to a lower 'protection' mode bitrate. Could be a hardware limitation- both in LSI/ SDCard write speed, or even SDCard slot write speed.

    Then again this may work on GH5 with more powerful LSI & V90 card?

  • but 41M is a bit low for hw limit as G80 can record 100M 4k video without any issue on 60MB/s cards... I have a feeling that we're not going to get any bitrate or profile hack through protocol hack on G80.. sadly :(

  • @JOFO on GH2 when you made up super high bitrates it would just bottom out. So it wouldn't do the 'highest available' bitrate- rather some really low 'protection' mode bitrate.

  • If you want to try by yourself here its a html file with plenty of hight bitrates requests: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B10Ows_xNNgHTWwyaEdIOUU4RWs/view?usp=drivesdk Connect, tryan option, back on browser and repeat.

  • no HBR mode worked.. :)

  • Did you try all of them? All?

  • Don't give up guys. I'm sure this wouldn't have been put into the camera without any real use. I'll play with this when I get time.

  • After many requested combinations G80 accepts: <P><A HREF="http://192.168.54.1/cam.cgi? mode=setsetting&type=videoquality&value=mov_25p_100mbps">mov 25p 100MBPS</A></P>

    And

    <P><A HREF="http://192.168.54.1/cam.cgi? mode=setsetting&type=videoquality&value=mov_25p_200mbps">mov 25p 200MBPS</A></P>

    Both generate same .mov corrupt files, so no hight bitrates here.

    If you send http://192.168.54.1/cam.cgi?mode=setsetting&type=colormode&value=vlog_gamma camera accepts and change color profile to "Standar". Weird.

    Keep on searching

  • @Grimor

    May be we really need to start some combined and open hacking effort.

    I mean, at least he have now simple way to set parameters.

  • User BTM_Pix at eoshd is using "packet capture" for android to study camera-app communication. There are many cameras and many different modes/features for each one to try. Its like a "hide and seek" game.

  • It's a very curious trick... What's the possibilities that something like this can bring us?

  • in theory you can command at wish at some point. seem this app is able to control the machine since we do manage to access functions apparently disabled. i wish vitally could unite forces and make a next hack for this series of LSI, since 400mbits on HVECc seem promising.

  • Got it! We can only send commands and see if the camera responds.

    Would be awesome if we could copy features from one camera to another. Such as high bitrates, v-log, anamorphic mode...

  • Did anything happen to the 200mbps mode ?

  • No luck. I spent many hours with my G80 and nothing really usefull was found. Interesting things/prototypes was made by @BTM_pix but suddenly he disapear from online comunity. The man is missing, sadly.

  • BTM_Pix reappeared, probably with some good news soon.

  • He's back

  • Old topic, but anyone knows if increasing 1080p bitrate on the G80/81/85 via html went any further? @Grimor attempts seem gone pretty close. Just wondering if efforts continued or were communicated in other channels/forums.

    –nostalgic about those colors, mad at the crippled bitrate sky banding.
