set video encoder configuration

It is possible this will not work.
The original ONVIF API for video codec changes was called "the Media API", I'll call it "Media1"). It supported JPEG, MPEG-4 and H264
Then along came the Media2 API which is the API that also adds H265 support.

Currently this library implements lots of Media1, but only enough of Media2 for what I needed on a project.
In the code, the functions to set the Video Codec only talk to the Media(1) API.
It is possible that your camera does not know what to do when you make a change (via a Media1 API) to an ONVIF Profile that contains a Media2 value (ie H265)

The fix may be to change in libs\media.js around line 391 and change the code so it checks if the camera supports Media2, and if it does, generate the Media2 XML with the Media2 namespaces.
You can see examples of handling Media1 and Media2 around line 1052 with GetStreamUri

You may be lucky and find the XML for the Media2 setVideoEncoderConfiguration is exactly the same as in Media1, so it is just Namespace changes.
But on some of the other things, the API was different

ok I understand.
so you mean that I cam execute the set video configuration like this -

var Cam = require('onvif').Cam;
const cam_obj = new Cam({
    hostname: "192.168.1.55",
    username: 'admin',
    password: '123456',
    port: 80,
    timeout: 5000
    },
    async (err) => {
            if (err) {
                console.log(`load failed`)
                return
            }
            cam_obj._request({
                        service: 'media2',
                        body: cam_obj._envelopeHeader() +
                        '<SetVideoEncoderConfiguration xmlns="http://www.onvif.org/ver20/media/wsdl">' +
                            '<Configuration token = "' + 'VideoEncode_token_1' + '">' +
                            ('<Encoding xmlns="http://www.onvif.org/ver10/schema">' + 'H264' + '</Encoding>') +
                            '</Configuration>' +
                            '<ForcePersistence>true</ForcePersistence>' +
                        '</SetVideoEncoderConfiguration>' +
                        cam_obj._envelopeFooter()
                    }, function(err, data, xml) {
                        if(err){
                            console.log(err)
                        }
                        else{
                            console.log(data)
                        }
                    })
        
        }
    );

Is there any more configuration I should add?
