Velocity stuck at 0.00 km/h on iDrive 7 DriveRecorder #1

Hi,

I've just found your tool, which is exactly what I was looking for. Great work. :-) Only one thing seems to be odd when converting videos from iDrive 7 DriveRecorder - The Velocity is stuck at 0 km/h even if it is recorded in the Metafiles. Maybe BMW changed the format for the Metafiles since you build this for iDrive 8? I've attached a Metafile from from a video I've recorded today. Maybe this is somehow useful for you. Please let me know if I can provide more data. I'd be glad to support you with more informations to solve this issue.

Hi,

it's great to hear that you like my tool. Thank you very much :) I actually don't own drive recorder anymore as I retrofitted a real dashcam to the car due to the low quality of the drive recorder. So I won't add new features for myself but I'm happy to so for others :) So thanks for your report and the metadata file, I will fix that ASAP. It's an very easy fix. As you already thought, BMW changed to name of the speed parameter.

I'll let you know here when I found the time to fix this :)

I have a small question regarding the metadata. Do you know what unit "velocity" is? is it in km/h? mph? Or anything else?

bonsiapappel commented 3 months ago

Thanks for the reply - looking forward to the update! :-)

I took this record during a Driver Safety Training, and in this instance, the allowed top speed was 35 km/h. So, I'm pretty sure the velocity is set to km/h since this is the top value in the metadata. I guess in iDrive 7, the velocity is in the same unit as set in the iDrive settings.

Cheers, Volker

Just fixed this in release v3.2 - I hope it works for you now :)

I finally had the time to check out the new version. It works like a charm with iDrive 7 DriveRecorder.

Thanks a lot! :-)
