Login at Kodi Home

I plugin gopro hero 4 to computer through USB(Ubuntu, Xbuntu, Kodi14.2)
It shows up in linux file manager as "Stillimage" however it does not show up in Kodi at all.
Is there any solution to that? (I am not looking for wireless streaming)
Goal is to plug gopro to HTPC with USB cable and watch videos/pics directly from it.

thx

you will need to add the stillimage directory (or a subdirectory) as a video and picture source. It is most likely mounted under /media

Yeah , found it under /run/user/1000/gvfs but ...
I still have to mount it first outside of Kodi.

Kodi seems to take over the device because when its running and I connect the camera I go to file manager in ubuntu and I got error message that device is already in use (or something like that)
When I quit Kodi then I can mount it manually , turn on Kodi , addnew Video folder and watch files. But again this is backwards.
There is got to be a better way to do it.
Some type of automount to given folder.
dmesg gives me this:

Code:

I googled that device number (2672:000d) and found this:

http://s.natalian.org/2014-12a04/lsusb-gopro.txt

It looks like the device is interpreted as a camera rather than as a flash/hard drive containing videos/photos.

Is any /dev/sd* device created?

uomiarz · 2015-04-20, 03:01

No I dont think so.

Code:
mp@mp-Panther:~$ lsusb

BTW I cannot read link you mention
I got:
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
And some XML code that follows.

I assume sda is your main hard drive, and no other is shown, so it is not being detected as a drive.

That's weird about that link. If I click it from this forum it gives the same result as you got, if I do it from my google search it works. Here is the content anyway:

You will see it is detected as a ptp camera (which is probably is as well as a storage device)

uomiarz · 2015-04-20, 04:26

Its a chromebox that I am currenty using with single ssd.
So yes sda its only storage device I have on that htpc.

This is how it shows up under file manager in xbuntu: gphoto2://[usb:001,009]/

How would I generate a report like you pasted?

OK, I don't think kodi knows about the gphoto2:// protocol.

nickr · 2015-04-20, 06:48

Have you tried taking the SD card out of the gopro and using an SD card reader?
