How to retrieve recording status

[Tiiita]

How to get the current mode (so photo, recording, etc.) and if the cam is currently recording. I tried to use the gopro.query() and use the StatusID but this is private.

Thanks for help :)

Oh, and how to get the name of a connected gopro?

Forgot to add query feature in cargo. Works!

[Tiiita]

gopro.query(&gpc::GoProQuery::GetStatusValue(vec![gpc::query::StatusID::EncodingActive]))

Nvm did not help ide bugged.

gopro.query(&gpc::GoProQuery::GetStatusValue(vec![gpc::query::StatusID::EncodingActive]))

I was able to get this to work in a test I just merged

You can run it with cargo test test_query_whether_recording --features query -- --nocapture

That being said, I understand the confusion. Were I designing this again, I'd probably reduce the feature set to only the most likely to be used features, and along with that, reduce the complexity of actually accessing those features of the camera.

I went back and looked at the open gopro spec, and I actually couldn't find a way to query the current recording mode, but you could just set it to the one you want, even if it's already in that mode to be sure.

May I ask what your use case/interest in the library is ? @Tiiita
