API hung after Take Photo/Video

[ermuir]

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!

Hi,

Jumping in as I faced the same problem. I'm on vacations so I can't look at my code, but here's what I recall.

Sometimes the result of getStatus cannot be interpreted as an int, perhaps the value wasn't set internally when the call is made and the camera returns ''. This is what happened according to your trace.

What I did is simply wrap a try / except ValueError around the call to reday = int(getStatus(...)). If the ValueError is raised, then it means the status code is not reliable, and you can return wathever fits your needs.

Cheers, Pierre

Hi @ermuir @pderian ,

I ran the code just to test, it does return an URL in my case. (same camera and same firmware).

Python 3.7.0 (default, Jul 15 2018, 10:44:58) 
[GCC 8.1.1 20180531] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from goprocam import GoProCamera, constants
>>> gopro = GoProCamera.GoPro()
HERO5 Black
HD5.02.02.60.00
Camera successfully connected!
>>> gopro.take_photo()
{}

{}

I can't reproduce it, I've tried it multiple times. What SD card are you using?

[KonradIT]

Also run gopro.getStatusRaw() for debugging, paste the output here.

[ermuir]

pderian,

I thought about using try/except as a work around. I will give that a try if I am not able to find a solution.

KonradIT,

The SD card is a SanDisk Extreme 64GB microSD card.

Here is the output you requested:

@emuir was the camera recording when you ran getStatusRaw()?

[ermuir]

No, it was just in standby. Should I initiate video recording through the GoPro itself and then issue the getStatusRaw() command?

Here is the getStatusRaw() output from a separate terminal after issuing the take_photo() command, which was still hung:

Restart your camera. Try connecting it to the GoPro app and see if you can browse media.

Jumping in -- I've been experiencing the same with my Hero4.

Hi KonradIT,

I have similar problem with shoot_video() method. How can this be resolved?

Thanks, Oleh.
