interval timer crashes

Post by mch »

Hello,

my setup is canon 5d2 + Magic lantern + huawei mediapad (arm) + qdslrdashboard 0.2.7.4, using usb otg

Old dslrdashboard timelapse function works fine.

qdslrdashboard crashes always when using interval timer. Maybe 5-10 pictures and crash.

i did not get any other versions to work than 0.2.7.4

my tablet is huawei mediapad m1 8.0 s8-301l

can i some how give you log file or something?

Thank you for answering so fast! :)

In my test i used several different intervals. 4-15s.
Slovest shutter speed in lrt was first 4s, then i tested 10s.

when qdslr crashed, it did freeze the canon 5d2 to take photo, like there where long bulb exposure timer runing, but when i force shutdown camera, and looked last foto, it was not long exposure photo that was taken... photo: http://kulttuurikuva.fi/mch/20150404_105206.jpg
to get away from that message, i must take usb cabel off from camera.

okay, i just run few more tests, and it seems that qdslr crashes only when i save raw+jpg. I just tested over 200 shots using timer, ramping, lrt auto holy grail, and so on... all test where succesfull, but when i changed picture quality from small jpg to raw+jpg qdslr crashed right after next shot.

I repeated this test several times, every time same. whit just jpg, works great, but when raw+jpg and interval timer running is it crash. here is poor quality video from this test:

I did some test using my laptop, same thing happens.
i can take shots using raw+jpg whit no problems. but when i start interval timer qdslr crashes.
I also tested several different timer times, like 5s, 25s, ... i does't seem to have anything to do whit this problem what interval time a have.

Just to be sure, i have unselected show capture history after captue, and image preview after capture.

Can you try this debug build: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxMZ8X ... sp=sharing

It will create a new qdd_<date_time>.log file in your Documents folder for each run.

Try it once with the JPG only (like 10-20 shoots)
Then close qDD and start again and try with RAW+JPG

In these logs you didn't enter LRTimelapse at all.
You just started the interval timer from the device screen.

Crash happens whit interval timer, i founded crashing when i first use lrtimelapse. In lrtimelapse when i used interval timer, crash first happened. After testing more, i found out that crashing occurs using raw and interval timer. I also found out that when viewing photos from camera sd card, when files are raw, crash also occurs.

I do test tomorrow and send new log files, lrtimelapse + interval timer...

After capture the files are different handled in LRTimelapse mode and different when the interval timer is used from the device screen.
