Using Sony PlayMemories, I established my Sony a6000 GUID on Windows. With the Send to Computer option. I am able to connect wirelessly, but running scan_for_cameras.py while the camera attempts to transfer media does not return anything.

Connecting to the access point (from Ubuntu) hosted via the Send to Smartphone option, I am able to connect. The camera shows Sharing... on the screen after what appears to be a "successful" connection. Running examples/scan_for_cameras.py with some added print statements, and you'll see that it could not find anything:

MESSAGE M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1

On a side note, connecting to the camera via Sony's Imaging Edge mobile app works nicely. Perhaps the SSDP address / port for mobile and computer is different? Might be related issue with #60. Thanks.

EDIT: Just tested with Sony Alpha(α) 6500 as well, same issue.

Fix was to change how you're interfacing the camera via the network. Closing.

Sorry for bumping a two years old issue, but, can you explain more on the "how you're interfacing the camera via the network" part? I'm using A6000 as well
