Trouble getting GP8 to work
Posted: Mon Aug 16, 2021 9:22 pm
Hi, I've read the PDF docs on the website and also some of the latest posts here in this forum so am aware of the challenges you have faced integrating the later generations of gopro. What I can't figure out is if the GoPro8 will work, at the time of this writing. I see the GP8 option in the multicam settings area, and I've tried using it with GoPro's quick app running and connected via wifi to the camera, but every time I go into the race > timer > video and select multicam, it doesn't show my hero and instead shows "No external cam connected currently." I've tried doing it with the gopro quick app running, and with the gopro quick app shut down. Same problem. I do see that I am connected to the GP8 wifi in my phone settings, and that connection is not switching to a different wifi.
Some of the info in the PDF doc and in the forum seem to be conflicting (IE use the gopro app to allow wifi vs don't use the gopro app because it interferes/competes with HLT) etc. I'm sure that's because you were trying various options as GP continued pushing out updates etc. But I just can't find anything in the PDF or this forum that works as of right now to get connected.
Any advice? Thanks in advance!
