How can I add video and images into folder

[davidedezan-zz]

Hi I'm new here. Can someone explain to me how can I add some video and images into the SD of the raspberry? Thank you!

One way is to copy your .mp4 file to USB flash device, insert it into the Raspberry Pi and reboot it. The video should show up in sources.

Thank you very much for your reply. Sorry but this is the first time I approach with commands based on Linux.
So when I insert the USB drive with images and videos, how can I see it and how can I add videos on the display for mapping it?

Are you using the .img file from the repository?

[davidedezan-zz]

Yes

[davidedezan-zz]

Downloaded and flashed with etcher

It goes like this.

1. Encode your video using a tool such as the Handbrake, 720p recommended
2. Name it in a way you can recognise it later (e.g. video-with-zebras.mp4)
3. Copy it on a USB flash drive and insert it into the Raspberry Pi
4. Reboot the Raspberry Pi and wait until the mapping software comes up
5. Hit <4> on the keyboard to see the list of sources. "video-with-zebras.mp4" should be there.

Ok I will try it on Monday. Thank you for your fast replies!

Hi I've done all the points, but in the sources there isn't my video on usb

Did you ever used this usb stick for emulating or installing an operating system?
If yes, you have to manually remove the hidden bootpartition on this stick.
If no, did you try it with formatting the stick as simple FAT format.
It might be that the image is not supporting all modern file formats like ExtFat etc.

@kr15h: might be missing on the image: sudo apt-get install usbmount dosfstools exfat-fuse exfat-utils

[kr15h]

Ah yes, you are right, must have forgotten those packages. Will push a new version tonight.
Another way is to mount the SD card on a Linux machine (You can switch to Developer mode in Windows as far as I know) and put the videos in /home/pi/openFrameworks/addons/ofxPiMapper/example_basic/bin/data/sources/videos

But the new image file should be there soon.

[kr15h]

Plus I think that usbmount is just enough.

[davidedezan-zz]

thank you Boys for your replies! I'm a NOOB so, with windows if I wanna mount the flashed sd card someone can explain to me how can I do?
Or the another way is to mount the USB drive inserted into the raspberry sure?
What are the commands to mount it? Usbmount is already installed.

[magdesign]

something like: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/usb/

[davidedezan-zz]

And the command to know in what sda is the USB?

[davidedezan-zz]

Everything is working thank you! Now I have another problem, how can I add space on the partition to add videos? There is free space on sd card,but sudo say to me that there is no space...

[LeeviLehtinen]

Has the USBMOUNT been added to the latest image? I've installed 0,40 version directly from the image file.

Having troubles adding videos. Not working from usb stick. And when accessing the SD card with Linux laptop, I don't have permission to add any videos directly to the sd card.

My Pi isn't connected to internet.

Have same issues like @LeeviLehtinen. Is there a fix now ? Any suggestions? Thanks Philipp.
Edit: The usbmount does not seem to be implemented in the current image yet. I just copied my files via ssh / Linux sudo terminal.
