I tried pairing the hero 6 through its LCD display (connections -> connect new device -> GoPro App). then connected to the correct SSID and tried .pair(), but the https port refuses connections.

All other commands work, but only while the LCD shows "pairing".

I've also tried configuring a router for the smart remote mode (correct MAC, SSID, DHCP), but in that mode, none of the ports are accessible.

Has anyone had success pairing the Hero6 with the latest firmware?

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've tried the method you mentioned, but anything changed.
I couldn't adjust it to 480p.

Hello.
If you dont mind clarify me.

it is posible power on at 7 am and power off at 7pm, day after day and not lost the connection with a computer.

Also I could change values like protune, flat or exposition in real time.

Thank you

I've probably missed something obvious, but is there a method or value to change such that I can connect to several gopros at once or that I can switch connections to a specific gopro?

@KonradIT Hi ! I'm trying to install your library however I'm getting an error since there is no setup.py file :/

hello,

Thank you for the post before.

What version of python need ?

    import urllib.request
ImportError: No module named request

I have version 2.7 I need install another verison

Hi,

I have a two GoProHero 4Sessions that I am trying to turn on and off using your API. However, I am having trouble connecting the cameras (I am testing with one camera at a time) to my raspberry Pi that I am using.
It is a strange issue in that it will connect one time, but then after I disconnect and try again it will not work again. I am connected to the gopros wifi (attached is a screenshot of ifconfig and what happens when I try to connect to one of the gopros) but it will not connect.

Probably not the best explanation but let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!

When running a basic example this is the output I get. Seems to be connecting fine, but no matter what I do ffmpeg is not recognized. I've downloaded, unzipped, and added ffmpeg to the PATH. I attempted a PIP install of ffmpeg but I get an error for subprocess (see below)

HERO+
HD3.22.01.50
Camera successfully connected!
{"status":"0"}


'ffmpeg' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement subprocess (from ffmpeg) (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for subprocess (from ffmpeg)

Anyone else run into this issue before?

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 again Konrad !
I'm always on my photogrammetry project. I used your code to create an interface on Qt, it is working perfectly, such a good work !!!

I have just one problem. I need to download photos and rename file with the timestamp. No problem for rename a folder with your example, the problem is in downloading photos. I need to use MultiShot Mode and it's only downloading the first photo of the MultiShot. I tryied with DowloadAll and it is the same problem.

Do you have any issue to get infos of all MultiShot photos ?
I join my code with definition of my Qt fonctions.

I already installed the prerequsite: pip install goprocam
Then I try to run gopro_keepalive.py via python3 gopro_keepalive.py (I've never able to run your scripts via python gopro_keepalive.py). This is what it tells me:

Thanks!

Hello,
Thanks for the library, it's very helpful.
I'm running into one problem, and I'm not really sure where to look at to solve.
When I run the functions as a command it works fine, and most of the functions work fine in a script as well.
However, when I run getMediaInfo inside a script it always returns an empty string.

Thank you again

• Happens every time? [Y/N]: Y

The unit is a GoPro HERO4, running the AFSP firmware and an override.sh that changes the IP address and forces it onto channel 1.

The camera runs fine for a long time, until something causes it to break. Then it will not respond to commands, and needs to be restarted. Trying to visit 10.6.5.9/ works, 10.6.5.9/go/gpStatus and similar all result in 500 internal server error.

Any ideas?

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.

Perhaps the constants should be renamed Photo.HDR_PHOTO, following Photo.WDR_PHOTO?

Will this work with gopro hero 6? Has anyone already tried it?

hi
i m triyng to get the live streaming using the example gopro_keepalive.py and gopro_opencv.py but i acquirate a frame, it is empty.

Hi, in the overview() function, the API fails to correctly parse the frame rate. Current mode is 1080p80FPS.

KonradIT,

First, let me commend you on the GoPro Python API. It has some great functionality.

One thing I noticed today is that the API seems to get hung after issuing take_photo() or take_video(10):

**>>> gopro = GoProCamera.GoPro()
HERO5 Black
HD5.02.02.60.00
Camera successfully connected!

gopro.take_photo()
{}

{}

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/goprocam/GoProCamera.py", line 430, in take_photo
ready=int(self.getStatus(constants.Status.Status, constants.Status.STATUS.IsBusy))
ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''

**

I received the Traceback after issuing a Ctrl+C. From the GoPro screen, it appears the camera has finished taking the photo/video and returns to standby. So this may just be an issue with the IsBust status.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I can connect to Hero5 Black wifi and look at http://10.5.5.9/gp/gpControl in the browser, but when trying to initialize with:
self.go = GoProCamera.GoPro(constants.gpcontrol)
It will say Waking up... and not do anything further.
When I then connect using the phone app and try again it works fine.

Howdy, I can connect to the camera and issue commands to set Burst Mode, however I cannot get multiple exposures using the take_photo() command. Am I missing something?

`from goprocam import GoProCamera
from goprocam import constants
gopro = GoProCamera.GoPro(constants.gpcontrol)

Waking up...

As you can see only one exposure is recorded... any ideas?

Thank you for sharing your code. I'm using it on raspberry pi to connect with GoPro session 4. I've successfully sync'd the GoPro date and time. I notice that the "Camera successfully connected!" appears twice after >>> gpCam = GoProCamera.GoPro(constants.gpcontrol) is entered. Maybe exceptions to try are queued causing prepare_gpcontrol() to restart in another loop?

I am currently Hero 4 Session and my use-case is to stream the live feed and when the user clicks a button, I want to take a photo and resume the live feed.

I am able to stream the live feed gopro.stream("udp://127.0.0.1:1000", "high") and capturing the feed in the browser

I also wanted to take picture in the mid of the live streaming. I tried

1. gopro.take_photo(),

2. gopro.livestream("stop")
   gopro.take_photo()
   gopro.stream("udp://127.0.0.1:1000", "high")

But the camera hangs in both the cases, the ISBUSY flag is set indefinitely. (take_photo method doesn't return)

I am calling gopro.stream(.......) in a separate thread.

Environment:

• Windows 7 , 64-bit, Python 3.6
• Using the published python package

Am I missing anything ?

Do I need to call any other function before calling the take_photo method ?

Any clue would be much helpfull

Thanks in Advance

First of all i have to thank you all your work, it have been very helpful for us.

I have a HERO5 Session with firmware version HD5.03.02.51.00. I have been troubles connecting with my laptop. After a little research i suspect the behaviour of this firmware is a slightly different from the expected by the API.

Problem A: Pairing

I can connect to the GoPro wifi when i put it in pairing mode with GOPRO APP, and then i have access to HTML API, but the camera do not recognize me as connected device and after a while it stop the pairing proccess and turn off wifi.

I have tried solve this whith the GoPro.pair() API mehtod, but i can not access to prouposed pairing URL (https://10.5.5.9/gp/gpPair?...). Finally i have used the GoPro application with a sniffer and i see the following pairing message: http://10.5.5.9/gp/gpControl/command/wireless/pair/complete?success=1&deviceName=<HOSTNAME>. I have tried it and it works.

Problem B: connected status

The API method GoPro.prepare_gpcontrol() polling the GoPro until /gp/gpControl/status[status][31] is greather than 1. But with my camera i do not observe any change in this field so this method causes an infinite loop. Besides i think i not need to wait for this indicator to access to the HTML API.

I will send you a patch with my pruposed solution.

Thank you for sharing this API
I'm using goprocam (1.9.3) on python 3 with gopro hero 4 session.
Unfortunately my terminal looks like this:

gpCam.overview()

Hi Konrad,

I have just noticed that the overview() method return a error.

gpCam = GoProCamera.GoPro(constants.gpcontrol)
gpCam.overview()

return this :

TypeError: Can't convert 'NoneType' object to str implicitly

Any ideas ?

Hi KonradIT

first, thank you for your great GoPro-API. It works fine for me except one issue:

I do not find the parameter to set the interval of a Time Lapse Video.
In mode
gpCam.mode(constants.Mode.VideoMode, constants.Mode.SubMode.Video.TimeLapseVideo)
I'm able to set parameters like:
gpCam.gpControlSet(constants.Video.RESOLUTION, constants.Video.Resolution.R2k4by3)
But I can't find any option to set the frame rate or intervall for the Time Laps Video (like: 0.5sec, 1sec, 2sec, 5sec, 10sec, ...)

Is it missing or did I fail to find it?

Sincerely,
Philipp

Hi Konrad, all,

Has anyone made it work with Hero 7 Black or the support is still in progress?

Cheers

Hi there! Your api was working great last week, but I tried to use it on my new PI Zero W and to seems not to be working anymore, I get the error : ´str' does not support the buffer interface in line 96

Hi,

Thank for all your work on this api, it's really very useful!

I'm having trouble getting a decent quality stream from my gopro hero 4 to facebook. Even if I just display the stream locally, it's quite blury, unlike when I record using the camera normally.

In my gopro_keepalive.py script, I tried adding in:
gopro.streamSettings("4000000", "4"), it doesn't seem to change the quality, though.
For some reason it wouldn't resolve the constants when I tried:
gpCam.streamSettings(constants.Stream.Bitrate.B4Mbps, constants.Stream.WindowSize.R480) #For HERO4

It doesn't look like 480p streaming at all. It looks something more like 240p

In fb_live.sh, I put in:
VBR="4000k"
FPS="30"
QUAL="medium"

When I try to put QUAL = "high", I get

"Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height"

Is there any way you can point me in the right direction?

It also goes kind of pixelated at times. However i'm not too sure what to make of the errors that the gopro_keepalive.py script gives:
[h264 @ 0x1f2f6e0] left block unavailable for requested intra4x4 mode -17kbits/s speed=1.05x

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 :

Do i need to upgrade to the last firmware 2.01 ? i hope not, it's a disaster ^^"
Can you help with this one please ?

Thank you so much for keeping this a live.

Hello,
Theres a small problem in line 751. Whenever I run the code it give a error there. It might just be the use of { instead of ':'

I would like to use your API to synchronize a same order to 3 cameras. Should I be able to do this if I made an AP mode in my computer ?

Cannot install goprocam via PIP because of missing README.md.

Hi,
I am new on gopro here, I can connect my computer to gopro by connecting gooro wifi.
However, i lost my internet connection so is here any way to connect both gopro & internet at the same time?

Hi, GoPro5H has a mode is take shot per n seconds when shoot video.
Can I send a request to take a photo during shooting video?
Thanks a lot!

gpCam.delete("last")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/goprocam/GoProCamera.py", line 303, in delete

urllib.request.urlopen('http://10.5.5.9/camera/' + param + '?t=' + self.getPassword() + value_no tempty, timeout=5).read()
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'value_notempty' referenced before assignment

I can connect my rPi to the GoPro wifi, and send commands via curl http://10.5.5.9/..... but, the wifi times out on the gopro after about 5 minutes. So i thought that the gopro-py-api might be the way to go.

cloned it to the Pi, but fails on running setup.py on line 1. Something about setuptools. So i installed setuptools, but still errors. The Pi has Raspbian Stretch Lite installed and Python3.
I'm pretty certain that it will be something that i'm doing wrong.

My goal is simply to be able to send a shutter activation command to the gopro in burst mode 10 frames/3 seconds).
Where am i going wrong?

Many thanks

Hi all,

Sorry for limited styling, first time post on Github and limited experience.

I'd like to feed Motion with my GoPro stream.
I can get the GoPro running, taking photos and streaming to UDP and everything.

However, I can't get Motion to work with the UDP stream (net_cam_url pointing to UDP://ip address doesn't work) and therefore try to stream to /dev/video0, to run Motion as if the stream was coming from a USB camera directly.

I'm using the following code.

from goprocam import GoProCamera from goprocam import constants gopro = GoProCamera.GoPro() gopro.stream("/dev/video0")

This doesn't work and I don't understand why.

I've also tried just running ffmpeg in a similar manner:

` from goprocam import GoProCamera
from goprocam import constants

ip_addr="10.5.5.100"
subprocess.Popen("ffmpeg -f mpegts -i udp://"+ ip_addr + ":8554 v4l2 /dev/video0", shell=True)`

But that doesn't work either. Motion can't find a camera on /dev/video0.
VLC or OXM can't find anything on /dev/video0 either.

What am I missing here?

I've read about feeding Motion with a loopback but that seems more applicable to static files and I can't get that to run either.

Anyone who can help me out? Anyone successfully combined Motion with a GoPro stream?

Cheers

3."gpCam.downloadLastMedia()" can't use either。
Can you help me?

Thanks

Hello

Thank you for such useful information and library. I'm not sure what the settings are expected with the function streamSettings(bitrate, resolution). Could you please list the possible ones? Thx.

Camera: Hero4 Black.

I want to get the video's location, but i can't find it. Can you tell me how to get it. Thank you!

1. In order to have one self contained py script to go in streaming with session 4 which command line in python of the equivalent ffplay -an -fflags nobuffer -f:v mpegts -probesize 8192 rtp://10.5.5.9:8554?

2)possibility to do the same by android. API could work on SMARTPHONE?
Used GoProStream.py on samsung S5 and works properly but none ffmpeg app is able to stream on udp 8554 ..
