Retrieve raw photo via downloadLastMedia?

[photonclock]

When Hero5 Black takes a raw photo, it records both file.GPR and file.JPG

Could you add a method to retrieve both, or perhaps a parameter/option to retrieve either GPR or JPG?

PS - I really appreciate this API you've built. Thank you again!

[DeivisPau]

I think that's the limitation of GoPro. It only allows raw to be exported via cable or card reader. Konrad, could you confirm that?

[KonradIT]

The API can actually retrieve GPR files but I need to implement a separate command. Something like downloadGPR(last=False, folder, filename)

[DeivisPau]

That's fantastic news. What would the URL call look like then to retrieve all raw files? This is the only missing piece to my time-lapse project. I wouldn't mind donating for you if you would implement it to your API!

[KonradIT]

Since I've gotten requests for this feature I'll add it this afternoon. The function(s) should look like:

downloadRawPhoto(folder, file, custom_filename="") #100GOPRO , GOPRXXXX.GPR optional: custom file name

downloadLastRawPhoto(custom_filename="") #optional: custom file name 

[KonradIT]

Added new functions in 6a25cc8, untested till I get a chance. @DeivisPau do you mind testing them?

downloadLastRawPhoto should work if the last media item taken is a photo and has RAW enabled.

downloadRawPhoto accepts JPG or GPR as parameters.

[DeivisPau]

Thanks for this Konrad. downloadLastRawPhoto() downloads the RAW file, renames it to 100GOPRO-G00XXX.GPR but is being printed as 'JPG was downloaded':

>>> from goprocam import GoProCamera, constants
>>> gp = GoProCamera.GoPro()
HERO7 Black
HD7.01.01.51.00
Camera successfully connected!
>>> gp.downloadLastRawPhoto()
filename: G0025533.JPG
size: 4.52MB
>>>

downloadRawPhoto actualy stucks at downloading and nothing happens:

>>> gp.downloadRawPhoto(#100GOPRO, G0025532.GPR)
...

[KonradIT]

Hi, try with

gp.downloadRawPhoto("100GOPRO", "G0025532.GPR")

[DeivisPau]

That works like a charm. Is there a way to download the whole folder (including raw files) or will I have to set up a loop to get them one by one?

[KonradIT]

you can use downloadAll() which will download all media but won't download GPR files, to get GPR files you'd have to iterate like:

for photoitem in gopro.listMedia(format=True, media_array=True):
    if photoitem[1].endswith("JPG"):
        try:
            gopro.downloadRawPhoto(photoitem[0], photoitem[1])
         catch:
            print("Not a raw photo")

Code is untested.

[DeivisPau]

I've tried downloadAll() but it only downloaded a selection of files. Is there a reason for that? The return I got:

>>> gp.downloadAll()
filename: GOPR5528.JPG
filename: G0015529.JPG
filename: G0025533.JPG
['GOPR5528.JPG', 'G0015529.JPG', 'G0025533.JPG']
>>>

But when i connect camera i can see 7 JPG files. listMedia() also returns only those three files.

[KonradIT]

Wow that is weird, I'll check on that later when I have access to my camera.

In the meantime try:

for photoitem in gopro.listMedia(format=True, media_array=True):
    if photoitem[1].endswith("JPG"):
        gopro.downloadMedia(photoitem[0], photoitem[1])
        try:
            gopro.downloadRawPhoto(photoitem[0], photoitem[1])
         catch:
            print("Not a raw photo")

[DeivisPau]

It gives an error:

from goprocam import GoProCamera, constants
gp = GoProCamera.GoPro()

for photoitem in gp.listMedia(format=True, media_array=True):
    if photoitem[1].endswith("JPG"):
        try:
            gp.downloadRawPhoto(photoitem[0], photoitem[1])
        catch:
            print("Not a raw photo")

Error message:

    catch:
        ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Testing on my HERO7 Black

>>> media = gopro.listMedia(format=True, media_array=True)
>>> for i in media:
...     print(i)
...

gopro.downloadAll() works perfectly for me. If not use the code I sent earlier which also downloads all the Raw Photos.

I think it only downloads the first image of the timelapse. Try shooting few timelapses and compare the images that are on SD card and via listMedia().

[KonradIT]

Yes for timelapses you do have to use downloadMultishot().
