Here are the results of trying to run the script fully.
That is a good step forward as you are now creating the gpx file. It looks like your installation of mapillary tools is wrong or not being found.
There are other people who can help you better than I can on this, as my script is running ok and the issue is now with a mapillary product.

Hi,
I am not going to have any time to look at this until next Wednesday at the earliest. Since you now have a .mp4 and a .gpx file the rest is just mapillary tools so perhaps someone from the mapillary team can help you.

Hey,
The latest alpha version of mapillary_tools supports exiftool XML output, so there is no need to convert them to GPX. See Release v0.10.3a · mapillary/mapillary_tools · GitHub
exiftool -r -n -ee -api LargeFileSupport=1 -X your_insta360_x3_videos > your_insta360_x3_videos.xml
mapillary_tools process_and_upload --geotag_source exiftool --geotag_source_path your_insta360_x3_videos.xml your_insta360_x3_videos

Okay everyone this may be a bit off topic but I need some help. I wanted to Frankenstein this camera system and I needed to separate the cameras and space them out about 8 inches from each other and still be able to use the original computer so I guess what I need to know is, is there a way to do this if I was to get a longer ribbon to connect each camera to its board and if so where would I get that? also if anyone has any advice on how I can go about this I’m all ears. Trying to make my own 360 camera set up without having to use the cheap pi cameras
So how can I upload to Mapillary with the new release changes? Do I just need to input some commands? Or is another script needed?
The existing script won’t make use of the new functionality. The only gain I can see is that you can do it without the UL2GSV package but use the much smaller exiftool

I kinda figured out how to use the exiftool. How should I upload via exiftools and Mapillary tools?
I think you will hit the same issue of the mapillary tools not working. The gpx extract was working from the script , so the exof tool replaced the part that worked anyway

I also noticed something broken with the INSV2GPX exe file. The GPS data is very distorted and can be inaccurate from up to 100-500 ft. All other exe files work as intended and this is the only one that poses another issue. Is there a way to fix this issue with it?
Here is the GPX data displayed.
Here it is also displayed on Gmaps Pro.
The orientation and position is definitely broken.
That’s a real pain. it comes down to the accuracy of your phone GPS. Whereas there are various gpx editors that let you manually correct files it is only really practical to correct a few rogue values, and not much use if the whole track is inaccurate. I have had whole tracks in wooded areas fail because of this.
I have found that my phone gets better tracks when in the top of a backpack or a chest pocket than in a trouser pocket. Also it sometimes takes a few seconds to get an accurate position so to avoid losing the start I go to my maps app and check/wait for an accurate starting position before switching to the 360 app and starting the track.

Do you know if the GPS remote would work better than a phone?
That would be great question to ask in the equipment from. I suspect the answer is “it depends on your phone” but I’ve never used the GPS remote.

I found the GPS accuracy to be about the same as my phone, but having the remote frees my phone up for other things.

The new studio update has GPX files able to be exported! I guess this fixes the need for UL2GSV.
Keep in mind that the GPX file exported is uploaded in a separate file so the Mapillary script is still needed.
If there is a way to put the GPX file into the video’s MP4 file then this will be another easier way to upload to Mapillary. Because the uploader cannot currently allow for the GPX file to be uploaded separately with the MP4 like google’s street view studio, I need to find out how to either use the script or combine the MP4 and GPX together.

I noticed the GPX files are about 10x smaller from Insta360 Studio than from insv2gpx…

I have tried to find a way to combine the GPX and MP4 file into just an MP4 file so it will be accepted by the Mapillary desktop uploader however I cannot find a way to do this. Does anyone know how to combine both files?
I don’t think you can. I think you need to use the mapillary tools to upload separate files.
