Canon EOS 1200D and eosremoterelease=5 about gphoto2 HOT 5 CLOSED

We might run in the eos capture timeout of 60 seconds during the night.
What exposure times do you have in those images?

Usually you would not mix the capture-image-and-download and eosremote release options, you could try:

eosremoterelease=5 --wait-event-and-download=100s --set-config eosremoterelease=4
(4 = Release Full)

from gphoto2.

The max. exposure time is about 15sec, it's quite illuminated in the night (http://www.ladarsena.it/webcam/hd/webcam_20151218-0250.jpg). So a timeout might not be the problem here.

Sorry, i mixed something up in my first issue post above: "--capture-image-and-download" is working in the night but not in the day. It worked flawless before I changed from 2.5.8 to 2.5.9.

edit: will say, the problem occurs during the day...

Thanks a lot Marcus,
I did what you suggested and since then I had no more problems, using:
--eosremoterelease=5 --wait-event-and-download=45s --set-config eosremoterelease=4

But I guess it's more the 45 seconds than eosremoterelease=4

I have a feature request: something like --wait-event-string=
Instead of waiting for a certain amount of events or a certain time in seconds, we can wait for a string like --wait-event-string="Saving file as". This would help to wait exactly for a specific event.

Oh, and where do I find the donation button?

Thanks,

I missed this last entry.

--wait-event can wait for strings as they are output. for downloaded files wait for "FILEADDED"

--wait-event-and-download=FILEADDED

(we are not set up for monetary donations at this time. I had two camera donations from companies who wanted stuff fixed for them. But I do not lack money, more I lack time and knowledge :)

Thanks for the update Marcus!

--wait-event-and-download=FILEADDED was exactly what I needed. Works perfectly!

So get some time and the knowledge how to set up a Paypal donation button and/or an Amazon wishlist :-)
