Hi,  
I have a strange problem with mapillary\_tools process. I have some yi action cams, and when capturing with these, everything works fine.  
Now, I’m experimenting with OpenCamera on my Android11-Phone (Galaxy S10).  
For some reason, mapillary\_tools is not able to geotag pictures taken with OpenCamera and correlated to a standard gpx. Command is:  
mapillary\_tools process --rerun --advanced --import\_path “Aayi/OpenCam” --user\_name teddy73 --geotag\_source “gpx” --geotag\_source\_path “BT747/2021-05-07\_17-21\_Fri.gpx” --local\_time --offset\_time -1 --overwrite\_EXIF\_gps\_tag --interpolate\_directions --offset\_angle 3 --overwrite\_EXIF\_direction\_tag --duplicate\_distance 3 --duplicate\_angle 355  
Error Code is:  
Inserting gps data into image EXIF: 0it [00:00, ?it/s]Error, capture time could not be extracted for image /home/ted/Aayi/OpenCam/IMG\_20210507\_172322.jpg

I already tried to manipulate some EXIF tags with exiftool, but I did not succeed in finding out what is wrong. I deleted all sub-second tags, since that was the first thing that seemed to be different that the exifs out of the action cams.  
So, question is: Which EXIF tag is checked first for “capture time” and what format exactly does is have to be for mapillary\_tools to process? I’m using tools vers 0.6 python3, kubuntu, newest OpenCamera. I know it worked a year ago, didn’t use this combination since.  
Thanks in advance for any hint…
