What is the bug in?

  • Python
  • HTTP

Describe the bug
Before 06.2025 the following code worked:

gopro = WiredGoPro()
await gopro.open()

after that date (presumable due to Windows update) the code is unable to find the camera. The code fails with:
open_gopro.domain.exceptions.FailedToFindDevice: A scan timed out without finding a device.
It was tested on multiple Windows 10 devices and open_gopro version 0.18 and 0.20 on python 3.12 and 3.13.
The code works on Windows 11.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Update Windows 10 to the latest version.
  2. Run the code in REPL python -m asyncio
gopro = WiredGoPro()
await gopro.open()
  1. Code will fail with
    open_gopro.domain.exceptions.FailedToFindDevice: A scan timed out without finding a device.

Expected behavior
await gopro.open() should connect.

Hardware

  • Hero 13
  • Windows 10
