@filipc That’s why I record a backup gps track to avoid this kind of issue.
Regarding upload speeds, I am usually on ~15-20 Mbps. It takes about a day to upload a medium trip’s worth of photos (~40 GB or so). I am using a VPN in mid-Europe. I find that VPN speed is actually slightly better and more stable than direct connection. I am on a 1 Gbps fiber. I’m sure Facebook servers can support more, but I think they are throttled. Or just that they are in US and I’m reaching network limits.
I only upload photos, so I’ve not experienced any large file issues or such. Only issues are usually server-side with processing.
Regarding GPS, I record with a dual-band GPS phone on a bike that always sees the sky while filming with a GoPro. I almost never lose the signal except for random inevitable software and hardware glitches. But it’s much, much better than built-in GoPro GPS. I don’t trust it at all to be consistent. Local mappers with GoPros sometimes have their tracks fly off hundreds of meters away.
15-20 Mbit of MByte? I see primarily around de 20 MByte/s (200 Mbit/s) when uploading processed pictures by Mapillary Tools. There is some kind of limit, but not a hard one, when I upload simultaneously, all the uploads are getting 200 Mbit/s (max 3 tested).
Yes, megabit, as in 2-3 megabyte/sec. I’ve never seen anything above short bursts of 10 MB/sec, which always drops down.
I’m currently working with four Ubuntu installations simultaneously, four computers that I display on a 16:9 screen using a KMV (image distribution) 4 Port HDMI KVM Multiviewer, Yinker 4x1 Quad Multiviewer Seamless Switcher Supports 4K @ 30Hz, PIP & POP Keyboard Hotkey Switch 3.5 mm Audio Output : Amazon.de: Electronics & Photo, which makes things very clear.
But you can also notice differences. On one computer, for example, I can’t drag directories into the Desktop Uploader; instead, I have to select the files I want to upload using the selection function.
Is there a guide on how to delete and reset the basic settings of the Desktop Uploader in Ubuntu? Currently, I start the uploader by right-clicking the app image file when I download it from the Mapillary website and making it executable. This works well, but where does Mapillary store its settings in Ubuntu?
You can find them by going to “Help” → “Logs” to open the folder where the logs are which also contains all of the config files.
OK, this might be a different issue, then. Can you please send an example image to us at support@mapillary.zendesk.com Thanks!
What’s your desktop environment (GNOME, KDE, Unity, etc.) on the computer that lacks drag and drop functionality?
Do you drag and drop from the desktop environment’s native file manager (Nautilus on GNOME or Dolphin/Konqueror on KDE, etc.) or some third party file manager?
Looks like the timestamps were not successfully extracted during processing so the time when the video as uploaded was used as a fallback. We’ll look into the example data you provided to investigate this issue further.
