Hi everyone,
First of all, I’m not sure this is the correct category for my question, so, if there’s a better one, let me know and I’ll move it.
I’m running into an issue with my very first attempt at uploading JPG timelapse sequences instead of videos, and I’m not sure whether I’m doing something wrong, if I’ve hit a bug, or if this is a more general issue.
Until now I’ve always uploaded videos (either 360° or front-facing) captured with my GoPro MAX, and everything worked perfectly.
This time I wanted to try the timelapse photo workflow.
My setup
- Camera: GoPro MAX2
- Capture mode: Timelapse photos
- Interval: 0.5 s
- GPS enabled
- JPEG images (not video)
- Around 4,700 images split across several folders (100GOPRO, 101GOPRO, …)
The images appear to contain valid GPS EXIF information.
mapillary_tools
I first tried:
mapillary_tools process_and_upload
--user_name rmic
--skip_process_errors
...
Processing succeeds:
- 4688 images read
- 4508 images ready
- 154 duplicates removed
- 26 images skipped because of missing geotags
Then the upload fails immediately on the first sequence with:
HTTPError: 400 Bad Request
ProcessingFailedError:
Request processing failed
The server returns:
{
"debug_info": {
"retriable": false,
"type": "ProcessingFailedError",
"message": "Request processing failed"
}
}
I checked the first reported image (GPAA0096.JPG):
- JPEG is valid
- EXIF is present
- GPS is present
exiftoolreports only minor warnings- the image opens normally and can be re-encoded without errors
So I don’t think the image itself is corrupted.
Desktop Uploader
I then tried the Desktop Uploader.
Unfortunately, it also fails. The debug log only shows repeated successful requests (HTTP 200) to the upload endpoint, but the upload never completes. I’ve attached screenshots of the log.
My questions
- Has anyone successfully uploaded GoPro MAX2 timelapse JPG sequences recently?
- Is anyone else experiencing the same issue, or is it just me?
- Is there a known issue with JPEG timelapse uploads at the moment?
- Is there a limit on sequence size, image count or total pixels that I might be hitting?
- Are there any additional debug logs or diagnostics I could enable to better understand what the server is rejecting?
I’d be happy to provide additional logs, sample images or run further tests if that helps.
Thanks in advance!
