**Describe the problem you’re having:** mapillary\_tools fail to process GoPro videos sucessfully and throws error message **If possible include steps to reproduce the problem:** - run mapillary\_tools to process multiple GoPro videos with GPS coordinates **Expected behaviour:** - program should create GPS data in EXIF section of each extracted JPEG file **Observed behaviour:** - with realease 0.7.2 an error message for each image file was given: “Warning, geotag process failed for image …” - after updating to commit 1f9cfb6 the above mentioned warning disappeared and a bunch of multiple error was shown: ```auto Running geotag_process for 2212 images, skipping 0 images.

Therefore GPS data is definitely present in each file. Thanks for your time and your support in advance. ---

Hey @Macsico pushed a fix here [fix: unpack bytes at wrong location · mapillary/mapillary\_tools@2692b09 · GitHub](https://github.com/mapillary/mapillary_tools/commit/2692b09f530e8669672a955cd5dd860ccd8f8387) Could you update tools with: ```auto python3 -m pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/mapillary/mapillary_tools ``` and then retry again? Thanks for reporting. ---

Hey @tao - thanks for the fresh commit. MTools updated with your command, and retried processing. Sorry, failed again, but with different error message at the end: ```auto Running geotag_process for 2212 images, skipping 0 images.
