mmt VS gopro-linux

I use a program I wrote (mmt) which will sort GoPro media into folders by day > geographic location > camera name > media type > resolution. I have several GoPro, DJI and Insta360 devices so this is a must for me. GoPro videos and photos' filenames are weird to work with, the program will parse and rename them, so its legible.

mmt can transfer your videos via USB Ethernet, like the configuration shown in the pic. Note its a CLI program.

A user on the GitHub repo also got the program working to import wirelessly on the HERO5 Session. Make sure wireless connections is enabled on your camera, connect to its WiFi network and use this config: https://github.com/KonradIT/mmt/blob/development/config/wireless_gopro.yaml

Getting good GPS signal is now more important for me than before, since I'm writing software that imports and sorts GoPro/DJI/Insta media files in a way that makes sense. Flying several DJI drones, importing the media thru the software is such a breeze compared to how I did it before, especially since I want to group all video from all drones/cameras by date>location>camera. DJI drones get good GPS lock so there's no issue for the software to know where the video/photo was taken, but even looking at my old HERO10 and 9 footage, GPS lock is still not found in a majority of my old media archive.

I wrote my own software to deal with this, the naming scheme is G{n}0001-01.MP4 https://github.com/KonradIT/mmt

I wrote my own software to make GoPro files easier to sort through: http://mmt.camera

Its no secret GoPro files are a pain to work with, be it because of codec issues or because the filename doesn't make any sense. For some years I've used a bash script to import media, convert videos, assemble timelapses and more. This script relies on ffmpeg to do much of the operations, so it could be run on all major OSes.
