GoPro has not updated their Python package to support USB control, but I have updated my unofficial GoPro control library to support Hero9's gpWebcam USB API and Hero10 OpenGoPro USB API/gpWebcam stuff. So by using my python package, and taking this example code: import sys
import time
from goprocam import GoProCamera, constants
import threading
from signal import signal, SIGINT
record_len = 10 # How long to record for in seconds
def record_video(interface: str) -> None:
gopro = GoProCamera.GoPro(ip_address=GoProCamera.GoPro.getWebcamIP(
interface), camera=constants.gpcontrol, webcam_device=interface, api_type=constants.ApiServerType.OPENGOPRO)
try:
r = gopro.setWiredControl(constants.on)
gopro.checkResponse(r)
except:
pass # sometimes throws 500 server error when camera is already on wired control mode
r = gopro.shoot_video(record_len)
print(r)
print("Video recorded")
gopro.downloadLastMedia()
gopro.delete(constants.Delete.LAST)
exit()
def handler(s, f):
thr.stop()
quit()
signal(SIGINT, handler)
cameras = sys.argv[1]
cameras = cameras.split(",")
for interface in cameras:
thr = threading.Thread(target=record_video, args=(interface,))
thr.start() |

Weird, so the get_iface_name_win script does not output anything? Your GoPro must be on the USB screen (front screen black with USB logo) ❯ python .\examples\get_iface_name_win.py
IP: 172.20.122.52 from Interface {4567E1C0-2449-4706-80C6-839ACA1EA0A8} |

yes exactly. I have tried everything maybe I will need to reinstall the firmware on the camera: Notice in the device manager that the camera shows up as a device but the secondary connection is listed as CDC NCM and does not appear to be configured properly.

Try installing the GoPro Webcam program, if not already installed: https://community.gopro.com/s/article/GoPro-Webcam?language=en_US You should see a Network adapter called |

Can you tell me where I am going wrong with this code? (the interface is now being found but I still get the arg out of range error import sys record_len = 10 # How long to record for in seconds def record_video(interface: str) -> None: def handler(s, f): signal(SIGINT, handler) cameras = sys.argv[1] for interface in cameras: if name == 'main': |

You need to pass the UUID (in my previous example it's For instance: The last two lines are not needed. |

but what if I don't plan to call it from the command line and need to do it on the module level and be able to run the program from within pycharm? |

Much simpler then from goprocam import GoProCamera, constants
def record_video(interface: str) -> None:
gopro = GoProCamera.GoPro(ip_address=GoProCamera.GoPro.getWebcamIP(
interface), camera=constants.gpcontrol, webcam_device=interface, api_type=constants.ApiServerType.OPENGOPRO)
try:
r = gopro.setWiredControl(constants.on)
gopro.checkResponse(r)
except:
pass # sometimes throws 500 server error when camera is already on wired control mode
r = gopro.shoot_video(10)
print(r)
print("Video recorded")
gopro.downloadLastMedia()
r = gopro.delete(constants.Delete.LAST)
gopro.checkResponse(r)
gopro.mode(constants.Mode.VideoMode)
exit()
record_video("{4567E1C0-2449-4706-80C6-839ACA1EA0A8}") |

Thank you so much! It works and now I have something to work off of. I can not tell you how much I appreciate your help with this. I tried to sponsor you again with another donation but for some reason since I already sponsored you once it say I cannot. Wierd let me know if there is a way to unlock that and I will get back on and give you some more sponsorship thanks. |

No idea how to sort that out, maybe try using paypal (button is on my website: https://konraditurbe.dev/hacking.html). |

Hello,
I will gladly pay someone to write me an example in python to control a hero 10 on a Raspberry Pi 4 via USB.
The code simple needs to connect to the camera and start recording video for a predetermined time. Then upload the video clip to the raspberry pi and delete it off the camera.
If anyone on here can do that for me I will gladly pay for your time. let me know Thanks in advance.
Alan Bell
