409 error when codec changed

cjp — Mon, 12 Dec 2022 18:02:07 GMT

I am trying to use the Nest APIs to connect. I have gotten all the auth token stuff working. I have created an offer and gotten an answer but the data does not flow. I realized I was not asking for the H264 codec in my offer so I just changed that. Now every time this is the response I get from the API:

```

{

"error": {

"code": 409,

"message": "Failed to retrieve answer SDP due to timeout, please try again.",

"status": "ABORTED"

}

}
```

It's very suspicious that this aborted error happens when I ask for the correct codec... is it hitting some kind of bottleneck? The Error code of course is under-documented... there's no entry for it.. but 4xx errors are typically requester problems, if it was a server side thing I'd expect 5xx, but of course timeout implies try again. (I have tried and waited many times.)

The Camera itself works in Home app and it works in the google developer sample webapp with browser-based SDP. I am trying headless SDP with the pion webrtc library.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this, as I can imagine it has been an inconvenience. I would love to look into this further for you. I am afraid we wouldn't be able to assist you with this in the forum. This information is not general knowledge to us. Have you sent in feedback regarding this in the app?

Best regards,

@cjp

This definitely isn't the correct forum to send this request in. We'll be moving this thread over to the correct forum.

Best regards,
