GoPro import support? #154

Open peteruithoven opened 7 years ago

peteruithoven commented 7 years ago

I was hoping to import videos from a GoPro Session using a usb cable using Photos. But it sticks at "Starting import, please wait..." Photos gopro import

The same happens with Shotwell, so it might be a underlying dependency?

I didn't find GoPro related issues, not here but also not on StackExchange and Reddit.

I did find this more Ubuntu focused or Linux general topics: https://askubuntu.com/questions/735021/problem-retrieving-video-from-gopro https://superuser.com/questions/853685/copy-files-from-gopro-over-usb-on-linux

A search for libgphoto2 indicates I do have libgphoto2-6 and libgphoto2-port12 installed, but in a patch version older than this answer.

Reading from the Micro SD Card does work, but those things are tiny, fragile and expensive, so I would prefer other methods.

After installing libgphoto2-port12_2.5.10-3_i386.deb I tried installing libgphoto2-6_2.5.10-3_i386.deb but this fails with the message: 

Error: Failed to satisfy all dependencies (broken cache)
