On both Linux and Windows platforms, unable to open the video stream from the Hikvision decoder.

[souldown0]

Describe the bug
Regardless of the version of aravis I run on either Linux or Windows, when it comes to the MV-SC2005AM-02WBN Ethernet camera decoder, it only shows the name and icon of the decoder. Clicking on it only displays three parameters that cannot be modified, and the image acquisition button is also disabled. Why is this happening?

I also ran arv-test-0.8, and here are the results.
Found 1 device Testing 'Hikrobot:MV-SC2005AM-02WBN' Genicam:Load SUCCESS Genicam:Schema SUCCESS Schema validation disabled Properties:SensorSizeReadout SUCCESS Properties:SensorSizeCheck IGNORED Properties:GainAvailable SUCCESS Properties:GainReadout SUCCESS Properties:ExposureTimeAvailable SUCCESS Properties:ExposureTimeReadout SUCCESS MultipleAcquisitionA:BufferCheck FAILURE [AcquisitionMode] [AcquisitionMode] No available entry found SingleAcquisition:BufferCheck FAILURE [AcquisitionMode] [AcquisitionMode] No available entry found SoftwareTrigger:NoSupport FAILURE MultipleAcquisitionB:BufferCheck FAILURE [AcquisitionMode] [AcquisitionMode] No available entry found Multipart:NoSupport SUCCESS Chunks:NoSupport FAILURE GigEVision:NNetworkInterfaces FAILURE 16777216 GigEVision:NStreamChannels FAILURE 16777216 GigEVision:StreamChannel SUCCESS
The camera can be pinged and the firewalls have also been disabled.

To Reproduce
I compiled and installed aravis separately on Linux and Windows, and then launched the camera decoder.

Expected behavior
I hope aravis can properly read and display the camera's video stream.

Additional context
I also tried running arv-camera-test. The output is as follows:

How can I make the camera work with aravis?
Thank you very much.

Hi,

Thanks for the report. It is probably another instance of the legacy endianness support issue. You device should be added to the exception list in arvgcport.c, like what is done in this merge request: https://github.com/AravisProject/aravis/pull/860/files
