Ok. Its off. The PIp option is now gone. Unfortunately, the behavior is still the same, less the pop p for pip.

I still am receiving the "invalid master video" on the first screen after i press the overlay button.

Any thoughts on this one? The lap timer sees the video because it is posted in the preview window.

No idea, it seems the Android function are able to play the video, but the video library used for overlaying fails to process it...

To track this down, you may either put one of the "problem videos" on a file server so I can download and verify the issue, or you can create a log on what is happening when the video overlaying process starts. To do this, please check viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1933 for a general description how to create trace logs. Please select the trace classes "Ffmpeg", "Overlay" and "Video" while opening the Overlay Configuration (and probably pressing "Overlay" here).

The strange thing is the video has been recorded with a S3 - which is one of my test devices and works fine here...

Harry, i just sent in the log file. I put a reference number in the email header so you can find it easily #34567

Still says master video invalid. Sounds like that is the root cause of the issue.

I sent another email with the same reference number, but with "email 2" in the subject line. It contains a wcreenshot of the page where i can press the overlay button. You can see the video displaying correctly in this screen.

Thanks!

The video is 24 minutes long which is probably too big to be read by the video library (at least when using FullHD). I can't see that from the logs - can you please check the file size in video list? I will check for options to enable "large file support".

I'm abroad for the next two days but will come back on this afterwards.

Harry - yes they are large.

115857 - 2.27gb
134836 - 2.92gb
152950 - 3.11gb

Is there a size limitation when working with HLT?

The limit for the video linear used seems to be 2GB currently... But I know it is possible to tweak it beyond. I will look into that stuff starting Wednesday and come back.

Ok sounds like a plan Harry. I look forward to it.

I have 4gb free on the card (16gb total). Will that be enough to process the files? I.e. any reccomendations in free space required to process? Such as a ratio 2gb video =3gb for processing.

The required space for one lap overlaid on Android is approximately

overlaid vid size = raw vid size / raw vid duration * lap duration * factor

The factor depends on the encoding quality and ranges between 1.3 (low) and 2.6 (highest). Please add some 0.5 GB of buffer in addition.
