getContentList does not return videos

I've created a project which collects videos and images from a sony camera. To do this, I start the "Smart Remote Control" app on the camera using the camera's physical controls. I connect a computer to the camera's broadcasted wifi, then call the following rest resources with params in order:

/sony/camera

{
    "id" : 1,
    "method" : "setCameraFunction",
    "params" : ['Contents Transfer'],
    "version" : "1.0"
}

/sony/avContent

{
    "id" : 1,
    "method" : "getContentList",
    "params" : [{ 'uri': 'storage:memoryCard1', 'stIdx': 0, 'cnt': 100, 'view': 'flat', 'sort' : 'descending'}],
    "version" : "1.3"
}

The response from /avContent when using the Sony A7s ii is a list of both videos and photos. When using the older Sony A7s (not ii), I only get a list of photos even though there are saved videos. Do I have some kind of settings or permissions set incorrectly on the camera? Or is there another problem?

Unfortunately the A7S is one of the cameras that does not support movie transferring. You can see on the footnote 21 from this page: https://developer.sony.com/develop/cameras/

ILCE-7, ILCE-7R, ILCE-5000, ILCE-5100, ILCE-6000, NEX-5R, NEX-5T, NEX-6, DSC-HX60 and DSC-HX400 don’t support the APIs group. AVCHD movie is not supported. ILCE-7S and DSC-RX100M3 support only still images. ILCE-7M2 doesn’t support remote playback API group.
