Recording and Receiving Videos
-
I'm working on recording videos and taking snapshots (VOXL SDK 1.1.1. ). I'm following the steps outlined in the MAVCam Manager Doc, and using QGC to take the photos and videos. The snapshots are automatically transferred directly onto my laptop in the photos folder within the QGC folder by just clicking the shutter button (no pulling required).
However, I'm having issues accessing the videos. The doc says that videos are saved locally to the VOXL disc.
ls -la /data/videosandls -la /data/snapshotsreturns that old files exist, but the new recordings/photos aren't there (recorded 4/29/24). Also, pulling returns two empty folders.
Here's the output of
ls -la /dataandvoxl-inspect-services, in case it's helpful.

dateon VOXL 2 what do you get? If you aren't connected to the Internet then VOXL 2 cannot update it's time and date and so uses an old value. Maybe those h265 videos and jpeg snapshot are the current ones. Can you adb pull each file individually? e.g.adb pull /data/video/video_2023-03-02_13:16:02.h265etc. -

dategives me 3/2/23. I'm using SoftAP, so I guess it makes sense that files that I've pushed while on WiFi have the correct date, but the videos are using the default date.I tried the above suggested by @Moderator and it worked, adding the new video to the folder.
Pulling the direct file name
./adb pull /data/video/video_2023-03-02_13:16:02.h265gives me an error; pulling just/data/videogives me the same error. Could it be a corrupted file?

ls -la /data/videooutput

ls -la /data/videooutput@WineVirus Windows doesn't allow semicolons in file names. It's likely that's the issue. Try renaming that video file to video1.h265 or something simple

@Moderator What part do I need to modify to automatically save it to the QGC area?
