GoPro 9. Disconnect on capture via USB

[skit4214]

Hi

Trying to capture photo/video with GoPro 9 Black, connected via USB.
When start capture command gopro.shoot_video(10) or gopro.take_photo() camera disconnect from PC (USB switch off Windows sound) and reconnect after process. In take_photo case it reconnected after photo captured. In shoot_video it reconnect only after click capture button on camera and finish video recording

With WiFi behavior is the same. For video it start recording and can't finish by commands but without errors in log

With gopro.downloadLastMedia() disconnect not happens and all is ok

Code for USB connection:

from goprocam import GoProCamera

gopro = GoProCamera.GoPro(ip_address="172.20.163.51")
gopro.shoot_video(10)
#gopro.take_photo()

Log (same for photo and video):

HERO9 Black

Hey,

Did you ever figure this out? I'm getting the same error.

Thanks,

Joe

@gritzandgravy0 @skit4214 resurfacing this - you two have any luck here?

[gritzandgravy0]

@dyldata unfortunately I have not. I have just moved on with my project by taking the photo, letting it disconnect, letting the camera reconnect, then download the photo. Seems to work, but it's kind of klugy and slow.

@dyldata no, i was reading many materials about this problem and it's not real do for GoPro9 by software. If necessary only for remote capture control GoPro9 i found only one way - disassemble the device and add device (like arudino) in chain. It will lock and unlock capture button. In result i skipped GoPro9 and make software with other camera (
240 frames was the only condition)
