Hi Brett, great library, it's very useful. I'm trying to use a blackvue for monitoring events. If an event happens I want to keep the files from that time period but delete any other files so we only keep the good files.

From your experience is it possible to:

delete files from the blackvue camera? Mark files as read only so when clearing out space blackvue doesn't delete them

any advice appreciated, thanks Ronan

Ronan - the BlackVue http protocol that I'm using doesn't support delete. I looked. I think it would be possible to flag clips as 'events', if the metadata tags it such. I'll create a feature request for this.

Events are when the car detects abnormal behavior. Would be helpful to sandbox those into an 'events' directory for further analysis.
