I wondered if such a software would exist and it does. So here it is.
https://github.com/konradit/gopro-linux

I will soon test this software on porteus and report and maybe come with a gopro quick module.

Anyone already using this sofware with porteus or linux is invited to comment or provide its impressions.

Thanks.

francois, have you started testing the software from https://github.com/konradit/gopro-linux ?

Hi francois and Rava,
missing dependencies:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:/usr/local/bin$ ./gopro 
GoPro Tool for Linux
To see a list of commands and syntax available run: gopro help
Checking dependencies...
mogrify ..... Not installed!
mencoder ..... Not installed!
But on slakfinder.org 15.0 x86_64
mencoder and mogrify are not present
Where can you find these?

mogrify is part of imagemagick, I have it via a symlink to the AppImage in my system:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/# file /usr/local/bin/mogrify 
/usr/local/bin/mogrify: symbolic link to /mnt/sda2/bin/ImageMagick-23e57a6-clang-x86_64.AppImage
root@porteus:/# mogrify --version
Version: ImageMagick 7.0.10-3 Q16 x86_64 2020-03-29 https://imagemagick.org
Copyright: © 1999-2020 ImageMagick Studio LLC

Features: Cipher DPC 
Delegates (built-in): bzlib djvu fontconfig freetype gvc jbig jng jpeg lcms lqr lzma openexr png raqm tiff wmf x xml zlib
Of course the same is true for all the other parts of Imagemagick: :)

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/usr/local/bin# ls -o |grep "ImageMagick"|cut -c 44-
animate -> /mnt/sda2/bin/ImageMagick-23e57a6-clang-x86_64.AppImage
compare -> /mnt/sda2/bin/ImageMagick-23e57a6-clang-x86_64.AppImage
composite -> /mnt/sda2/bin/ImageMagick-23e57a6-clang-x86_64.AppImage
conjure -> /mnt/sda2/bin/ImageMagick-23e57a6-clang-x86_64.AppImage
convert -> /mnt/sda2/bin/ImageMagick-23e57a6-clang-x86_64.AppImage

identify -> /mnt/sda2/bin/ImageMagick-23e57a6-clang-x86_64.AppImage
import -> /mnt/sda2/bin/ImageMagick-23e57a6-clang-x86_64.AppImage
magick -> /mnt/sda2/bin/ImageMagick-23e57a6-clang-x86_64.AppImage
mogrify -> /mnt/sda2/bin/ImageMagick-23e57a6-clang-x86_64.AppImage
montage -> /mnt/sda2/bin/ImageMagick-23e57a6-clang-x86_64.AppImage
stream -> /mnt/sda2/bin/ImageMagick-23e57a6-clang-x86_64.AppImage
And of course setting this up as simple symlinks to the AppImage works like a charm, lookie for yourself, I use identify as test:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:/usr/share/wallpapers$ identify The\ Executioner\ and\ Her\ Way\ of\ Life\ 12.webp porteus.jpg 
The Executioner and Her Way of Life 12.webp MPEG 1920x1080 1920x1080+0+0 8-bit TrueColor sRGB 5.93268MiB 0.200u 0:00.211
porteus.jpg JPEG 1920x1213 1920x1213+0+0 8-bit sRGB 226597B 0.000u 0:00.002

And mencoder is part of mplayer - from MEncoder (en.wikipedia entry)
MEncoder is a free command line transcoding tool released under the GNU General Public License. It is a sibling of MPlayer, and can convert all the formats that MPlayer understands into a variety of compressed and uncompressed formats using different codecs.

MEncoder is included in the MPlayer distribution.
Of course one can extract mencoder from a recent mplayer package to create a gopro-dependency-mencoder module, since we already have mpv and ffplay as video and audio console players and do not really need a 3rd one on top (IMHO).
And we also have ffmpeg for converting "a variety of compressed and uncompressed formats using different codecs", but when a program wants mencoder you have to give it mencoder even when more often than not ffmpeg is superior to mencoder… (again, IMHO)

Kulle, have you managed to resolve your mencoder and mogrify dependencies with my above heads up?
