One master and 2 Multicam - How do you just ICloud transfer

[llan981]

All 3 are iPhones. Just did a test video and all worked well with the master showing the 2pic-in pic. How does the iCloud sync work. Do all units have to be in the foreground? Do you get any indication files are transferring up to cloud and down to master? Is there any indicators???

First, make sure you have configured LapTimer and MultiCam to transfer videos automatically. Check the video doc from www.gps-laptimer.de for a step-by-step. In Video List, you should see the videos arriving now. During transfer, progress is displayed in Video Details. The process runs in background and will probably take a few minutes to start. Once it has started, it is fast (in a WiFi).

Important: do not update the MultiCam iPhones to iOS8. This breaks MultiCam operation. A first bug fix release has been submitted already.

To late as they are already at IOS 8.02 so I guess it just won't work now. These phones are used just for multicam. When do you think update forthcoming and is there a way to just revert back to IOS7?

[Harry]

The "broken MultiCam operation" is similar to that of LapTimer when iOS8 came out. It seems to record video, but stores 0 byte files only. You may want to check this. I just rechecked submission status and it seems I need to add another change here. So it will be something between 1 and 2 weeks until availability.

I just checked both multi cams and it recorded 00:00.00 file when the master was over 7:40.55 in duration.

A workaround might be to set all three cameras up as masters and then copy over the video file and just link them to the actual master Camera would that work?

Note: I did try to restore back to iOS 7 from an old cloud back up but it did not restore the iOS just restore the data and applications

You normally have to plan ahead and save certain data from your phone to restore an older version of iOS. However, I did find this article that says that as of September 19, Apple was still signing a downgrade to 7.1.2 from 8: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-downgrade- ... ch-1466253

How long they will continue to do this isn't known.

[Harry]

Yes, but I have seen a message this has been closed shortly after 8.0.2 appeared.
