request to support download of RAW (.ts) video.

peterstamps commented 9 months ago

I have modified/tweaked the convert.py and downloader.py and provide the functions with a variable called method. When method == 'raw' the convert.py module saves the raw .ts version downloaded from Tapo and skips the ffmpeg conversion to .mp4. When method == 'ffmpeg' the usual .mp4 will be created. On Ubuntu and also Windows 10/11 you can simply view the .ts file and hear the audio as well. On Ubuntu mpv Media Player, SMPlayer, VLC work with the .ts file.

So a conversion is not (always) per se needed.

Thanks when you build it in as a config option.

Hi peterstamps, Can you share info/link on the image encoding for the raw .ts ? I would like to get an image without ffmpeg or jpeg compression.

I changed the convert.py and downloader.py (bot attached) a little and added a variable to the def function(s) called method. method == "ffmpeg" means that I use the original and get the .mp4 output method == "raw" means I get the .ts output (see line 24 in convert.py)

Also in Downloader I changed something. Search for "method" and some comments with "peter" in it.

That is how it got .ts raw files. Pretty simple at the end.
