Hi All,
I've had my a129 for a month or so now, half of which has had the rear camera connected. Since first setting up, I have used a Samsung Evo 128GB memory card.
A couple of days ago, i put in my new Samsung Evo Plus 128GB card.
After a couple of days driving, I swapped it out for the older card, so I could take it inside and archive the recordings.
I use the python script to extract GPS data, so I can continue to use Registrator Viewer. I noticed 2 new things!
Firstly, a number of files with the yellow exclamation mark. I've seen this before with my (now dead) BlackVue. In that case, it was a dead battery, and after replacing the battery, they went away. With the BlackVue, the solution was to press the parking mode button on the end of the camera, wait a second and then turn off. The short park mode file could then be discarded. Also, when I forgot, Registrator's repair file worked a treat.
After a quick investigation, the last file of the journey is now corrupt with the Viofo.
The second thing I noticed on the red travel line on the map, was short periods of grey. Upon closer inspection of the video in those sections, the GPS data on the video was going bonkers. A brief look over previous drives shows these grey lines started a few days before using the new memory card, but each new drive is showing more, and longer, sections of grey.
Changing cards didn't fix the issues.
Before attempting to send the unit back, are there any ideas on how I might troubleshoot this in order to fix it?
