For me the name of the interface is 'enxf64854ee7472'. This script will try to discover the device
that was added *last*, as you just plugged in the camera, hence the interface added last should be the one we're looking for.

Your GoPro get a wrong ip. If i switch my GoPro Connection to MTP i get a simliar IP. Did you changed the Connection type to "GoPro Connect"?

Is there some configuration that needs to be done that I have missed? @DogyDHW what do you mean by "GoPro Connect"?

chrisfoster121 commented 2 years ago

I just noticed that this only supports the Hero 8+ (if I read that correctly). That is likely my issue.

DogyDHW commented 2 years ago

@chrisfoster121 some older GoPro's are support a webcam mode on the official Windows App with the newest firmware. Look in the settings on your GoPro for USB-Connection. I need to change it from "MTP" to "GoPro Connect" in this setting. Its maybe working on your GoPro :)

msonowal commented 2 years ago

Same issue on hero 10, and I do not see any settings related to USB connection. Anybody success with hero 10?

oVerde commented 2 years ago

What is GoPro Connect @DogyDHW ?

My GoPro is the Hero3, does any one of you @jschmid1, @juchem, @raleighlittles guys know anything?

raleighlittles commented 2 years ago

Sorry @oVerde , I don't know anything about this. I'm not involved in this project at all; you might've seen my name on a recent commit but that was a documentation change only. I don't have this issue with my GoPro Hero 10.

Did you see this response from @DogyDHW ? https://github.com/jschmid1/gopro_as_webcam_on_linux/issues/30#issuecomment-989190899

Using Arch Linux, I have the same problem with a Hero 9. USB mode is set to GoPro Connect.

This issue hasn't been resolved yet? While the script can be a work-around, doing that manual work isn't really a solution.

Here's my log

I was getting the same. What worked for me was to run the command with -d flag :

sudo gopro webcam -d enxcacfe3b065ad

To find out the device number run:

ip a|grep enx

This only works if the GoPro is connected via USB and turned on.
