Trouble with GoPro and wifi passwords with spaces in them

Post by jonmcclintock »

Just an FYI: I lost a couple hours this evening trying to get my GoPro to work because my wifi password had a space in it. If you're having issues with LapTimer silently refusing to connect to your camera, even though your phone is connected to the wifi network, check for special characters in your wifi password. Changing mine to a pure-alphanumeric (letters and digits) value worked just fine.

Yes, spaces will create invalid urls exchanged with the cam. Thanks for the pointer.
