Contribute!

I maintain the GoPro Wifi API and I will be doing the GoPro support, if you want to add support for your action camera:

See the /camera/goproAPI folder, this is what provides the app with instructions and assets on how to connect to a GoPro camera, add a new folder inside /camera/ named camera nameAPI, inside you'll need to place the following files:
- Camera.kt:
  - Details about the camera(s) itself:
    - model_name array,
    - ip_address as a string,
    - baseURL, statusURL,
    - settingsURL,
    - commandURL as string (with :port if needed),
    - connectionMsg array as string (this is to check if the camera is connected, first item should be a URL and second item should be a string),
    - info array with information from the vendor (eg: vendor name, vendor country, vendor website)
- Constants.kt:
  - Host your commands in this file, I tend to follow a Video/Photo/MultiShot/Setup/Command structure which is easy to understand and use. Other cameras are different but try to stick to that structure.
- Live.kt:
  - This should have a function called getStream that returns a Uri or a Video that ExoPlayer can play.
- Media.kt:
  - Many cameras have a media front end in their IP addresses with port 8080, you'll need the URL the vendor app uses, for GoPro for instance its a JSON. It should have a mediaURL Uri and a function called getMedia() which returns an array with the URLs of the photos and videos.
- Status.kt:
  - Should be a list of Strings or integers with an appropriate Status name.

camcontrol's Issues

App missing from play store.

Greetings. I bought recently a hero 5 black ,and tried the original app(the whole registration is annoying).
I couldn't find your app in the store. Is there a way to get/build the app? Have you ever thought about upload it to the fdroid repo?

Project Enhancement Logo

I'd love to contribute on your project, maybe I will make some changes on your current logo, to be specific, I will make a logo that somehow look like a Go Pro. can I propose ?

Cannot Find Releases of CamControl App

Dear @KonradIT and @debpedrano

I cannot locate releases for this project on any of the declared release locations; GitHub, F-Droid nor Google Play.

Can you please advise when this message has been received, and if/whether releases will be provided.

Chinese OS Action Cameras

I have two Chinese action camera (Yolansin and Apexcam), and they have the same operative system.
This one permits you to connect via wifi, but the application (LiveDV) has a lot of problems.
It would be possible to integrate the connection with this application? I am available to contribute to the project.
Thanks a lot

discussion about kotlin

just wanted to ask what made you change to kotlin. To be honest i've not heard about this language,goes without saying it does look more straightforward than java. just interested in your opinion.

Unable to connect with GoPro HERO (2018) camera. I am unable to find code base which is able to connect with camera and record live stream actually.

I am developing an Android application, which can be able to display live streaming of GoPro camera on Android mobile.

There are old version gradlew

./gradlew build

failed to build

This issue comes up probably because this is the first project i tried to build from source and i problaly missing something. Are you planing to make a release which would marked for example as debug or alpha version. I would very much like to see one that would do even the basic functions. thank you for your answer i advance. At the moment i give commands through termux with the python api which workes flawwlessly. Only had problem with the ffmpeg stream,but that is probably caused by the way the ffmpeg version was built. thank you for your hard work on these repositories :D

App doesn't seem to work at all

Is the project still in development phase?
I see some UI but it doesn't seem to be connected to the data layer.
I tried both branches

hi, are you free now?

i would like to hire you for a gopro app development if possible.
