How to capture directly to USB: video_on_usb not working?

[nischelwitzer]

Hi,

I would like to use node-ar-drone and capture at the same
time the video directly on a USB-Pen on the AR Drone 2.0.
It works fine if i control the Drone with the iOS/Android App.

In the SDK2.0 PDF (page 87) i found the config: video:video_on_usb
and tried: client.config('video:video_on_usb', true);
but still no video will be captured when i use node/node-ar-drone.

What could be the problem?

Thanks,
Alex

This setting only configures where the video will be stored, it does not start the actual recording. In order to start the recording, you have to switch the video codec (see video_codec on page 84).

However, this setting is only available in Multiconfig mode and this library currently only support config management in the Default space (see #33).

Adding support for Multiconfig requires a complete refactoring of the whole config layer, which is not an easy task. I have started working on this a while ago but did not progress much.

Closing this as it's not had any activity in over 6 months, please re-open if it's still affecting you.

Has this issue been resolved in the meantime? Or is there another way to simply dump all recordings on an usb-pen while using this library?
