Description
I am unable to convert and upload videos from a VIOFO A229 Dashcam which records geotagged video. It throws the error "failed due to MapillaryGeoTaggingError". Please consider adding support since VIOFO dashcams are a very popular choice.
Basic information
- Release version:
0.11.2 - System:
Linux - Capture Device:
VIOFO A229 Dashcam
Steps to reproduce behavior
- Record GPS-tagged video with VIOFO A229 Dashcam
- Run the script `mapillary_tools video_process toconvert --video_sample_distance -1 --video_sample_interval
Expected behavior
Geo-tagged images produced successfully
Actual behavior
Error:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported failure with mapillary_tools video_process and inspect toconvert/mapillary_sampled_video_frames/mapillary_image_description.json. Compare the VIOFO A229 output with the processing expectations; done means GPS-tagged images are produced without MapillaryGeoTaggingError.
