GoProDashboard
A Python webapp to interface with GoPro cameras over USB (GoPro Connect mode/Webcam mode).
Currently supports viewing media
This project was born out of a necessity to offload media via WiFi while on a trip due to a broken SD card reader.
4 years later, GoPro introduced a mode that allows gpControl APIs to be used using USB Ethernet, thus giving us the APIs necessary to index, download and delete media from the camera programmatically.
Running:
Plug your GoPro camera, make sure it's in GoPro Connect mode, and wait a few seconds for the RNDIS lease to occur.
pipenv shell
python main.py
Configuring:
MEDIA_DOWNLOAD_DIR: this is where the media will be downloadedINTERFACE: GoPro USB Ethernet interface (run ifconfig if you're not sure)DEBUG
.env.example provides default values, code will look for .env
Running GoPro Dashboard automatically when the camera is plugged in
Copy 00-gopro-dashboard to /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d, make the necessary changes to detect the GoPro USB Ethernet interface as well as the path to this repository.
Also, create a file called gopro.dashboard with enabled or disabled in it to enable/disable starting this program when the camera is plugged in.
