Hi Konrad,

Thanks for this lib. I was wondering if there is any plan to support the new gopro fusion. So far from my test you can connect and take_photo(). I have found most of the settings of the camera are still compatible such as Protune, EV change, Raw, photo/video mode etc... Only new settings such as resolution, ISO got new parameters that are not listed in the library.

However since the fusion is a dual camera I can get or download only the back camera image. l'url return only the back camera file.

Thanks

H

I am using gopro Hero 4 silver. Everytime I connect and capture it works. But when I try downloadLastMedia() option or downloadMedia() it shows "Not supported while recording or processing media."

The self.isRecording() functions returns 1. What mode should I keep my camera to download the media files?

Hi been trying to solve this for a couple of days - HERO3+Silver - wonder if you have any ideas

gpCam.overview() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/goprocam-3.0.3-py3.5.egg/goprocam/GoProCamera.py", line 1437, in overview self.getStatus(constants.Hero3Status.Mode))) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/goprocam-3.0.3-py3.5.egg/goprocam/GoProCamera.py", line 239, in getStatus data = self.getStatusRaw() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/goprocam-3.0.3-py3.5.egg/goprocam/GoProCamera.py", line 263, in getStatusRaw return self._request("camera/sx?t=" + self.getPassword()) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/goprocam-3.0.3-py3.5.egg/goprocam/GoProCamera.py", line 112, in _request return urllib.request.urlopen(uri, timeout=_timeout, context=_context).read().decode("utf-8") UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 11: invalid start byte

Following the README in gopro-py-api: I am up to the step which requires the command: from goprocam import GoProCamera, constants

I believe this should be easy to troubleshoot, but my minimal experience with Linux and Python both is causing me trouble. I have already successfully installed everything instructed at the beginning of the document. Anytime I attempt the command, it seems to cause many errors and I'm not sure what's happening. Right now, my process is:

pi@LoRaGateway:~ $ cd gopro-py-api pi@LoRaGateway:~/gopro-py-api $ python Python 2.7.13 (default, Sep 26 2018, 18:42:22) [GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Any help would be appreciated, I'm pretty positive the issue is simply stemming from my lack of know-how in linux and/or python.

ImportError: No Module named request

Can you please help with this error. I do not understand what is wrong.

I also did: pip install request, but that didn't solve the problem.

Hi there! I wanted to deploy the code on Heroku with Flask server but it returns Application error. Please check the code and help me out on it. Please let me know if any detail is required I would be available.

Hello:

First, thanks for all of your work on this api -- it rocks!

I am having issues streaming from a GoPro 5 to OpenCV and VLC. I first run the gopro_keepalive.py script and then I run the gopro_opencv.py script (and get an error that when Googled tells me that OpenCV did not receive a video stream), or VLC (which doesn't display anything, and upon stopping VLC, get an error that according to a Google search signifies that VLC did not receive a video stream).

I have attached two screen shots that show the keepalive script running in one window, and opencv and/or VLC in the other. Any insight or advice you have on what I could be doing wrong is greatly appreciated!

Thanks! Kerri

Hello @KonradIT , Thank you for this amazing API.

I tried it on Windows 7, i can get the camera connected and get the overview infos, but when it came to streaming it fails. I'm on the firmware 1.60.00, using pythonV3.7.0, and last ffmpegV4 64-bit (i also tried ffmpegV4 32bit just in case), and finally VLC-v3.03 to capture the stream using udp://localhost:5000.

Here's my code for quick testing :

from goprocam import GoProCamera
# from goprocam import constants

gpCam = GoProCamera.GoPro()
# gpCam.pair(usepin=False)  # I use this as said to pair for the first time.

print(gpCam.overview())  # I get the camera infos here but isRecording == Recording even if it's not !!!

gpCam.stream("udp://localhost:5000")  # I tried to switch order with gpCam.livestream("start") just in case but nothing
gpCam.livestream("start")

while True:  # just for quick testing
    print()

And here's the output :

Thanks to @gurgelx for his webcam project.

Added:

• gpWebcam call driver
• helper method getWebcamIP
• Calls startWebcam, stopWebcam, webcamFOV and getWebcamPreview (launches VLC)
• renewWebcamIP (renews IP address)

Hi everyone, I'm studying this amazing library.

I've a GoPro HERO 10 that I want to control with the USB cable. I tried to take a picture and it seems to work.

Then I wanted to try the "turn off - turn on" behavior but the power_on()method does not work. it says "Waking..." but nothing happens

How it supposed to work?

Thanks in advance

Dear all I was using the library for a while with my GPH10. Recently I received my new GPH11 and unfortunately the gopro-py-api does not work anymore, like with GPH10. Does someone know what the difference in the firmware is? I would appreciate, if someone could help getting the gopro-py-api for Gopro Hero 11 compatible.

Thanks for your help Regards Bartelime

I was following a discussion from https://github.com/gopro/OpenGoPro/discussions/146. I connect my GoPro Hero 9 (firmware v1.21) to my MacBook Pro via USB. I am running code you provided AlanEbell in PyCharm with a little modification to account for the UUID (code is provided below). When I run the program, the code takes a photo and saves it onto the SD card in the GoPro but it does not download the photo onto my laptop and does not stop until I stop the program. When I tried gopro.shoot_video(10) the command would start taking a video but it would go over the 10 second duration until I manually stop the recording on the GoPro and the code. When I debug the issue I find out that the program is stuck at the command gopro.take_photo() or gopro.shoot_video() where the command is not being completed and that the command is going into an infinite loop at GoProCamera.py line 587 to 589 (for gopro.take_photo()) where ready = "" stating that it is still busy.

When I run the same code in Windows 10 (again in PyCharm), instead of getting an infinite loop I get an error message stating Connectionreseterror: [winerror 10054] an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

What is weird is before I downgraded the firmware to v1.21, I ran the program and I was not able to take a photo or video but the program would be able to download the last saved photo/video from the SD card.

from goprocam import GoProCamera, constants
import netifaces as ni

interface_port = 0
ifaces = ni.interfaces()
for iface in ifaces:
    try:
        ip = ni.ifaddresses(iface)[ni.AF_INET][0]["addr"]
        if ip.startswith("172."):
            print(f"IP: {ip} from Interface {iface}")
            interface_port = iface
    except:
        pass


def record_video(interface: str) -> None:
    gopro = GoProCamera.GoPro(ip_address=GoProCamera.GoPro.getWebcamIP(
        interface), camera=constants.gpcontrol, webcam_device=interface, api_type=constants.ApiServerType.OPENGOPRO)
    try:
        r = gopro.setWiredControl(constants.on)
        gopro.checkResponse(r)
    except:
        pass  # sometimes throws 500 server error when camera is already on wired control mode

    print("Taking Photo")
    r = gopro.take_photo(1) # Error creating infinite while loop in GoProCamera.py line 587 to 589
    print(r)
    print("Photo Taken")
    gopro.downloadLastMedia()
    r = gopro.delete(constants.Delete.LAST)
    gopro.checkResponse(r)
    exit()

Hi,

does the GoPro MAX deliver metadata during livestreaming camera.livestream("start")? My goal is to read GPS and Gyroscope metadata of every x-th frame

Thanks

Hello! I want to use USB to control the camera I also see the following solutions https://github.com/gopro/OpenGoPro/discussions/146

According to its steps, I can now use the win10 to control the camera But when using ubuntu again I encountered the same mistake as 146 Don't know how to set the Linux kernel device identifier

Run ls /dev/* Results of the command dev/libmtp-1-2.1

I wonder if this problem has been successfully solved in the end? (discussions/146)

We are looking forward to your reply Thank you very much
