[Fixed] Can't export GPS data from INSV files from Insta360 X3 camera

[camhart]

I've been successfully using exiftool to grab gps data from insta360 one x2 camera.  I recently purchased an insta360 x3 camera though, and exiftool is unable to grab the gps data (at least with the command I'm running).

Here's a file with GPS data from an x3 camera: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kmdbpih50vh17z5/insta360.x3.gps.insv?dl=0

I'm confident the file has GPS data, because when I view it in the insta360 app, it says "no gps data" for the first 2 seconds, then it starts showing the gps based overlays (route I took, mph, etc).  This isn't just an issue with this one file--it's with every file I've captured with the x3.  And yes--I make sure to capture the video with the GPS permission enabled through the insta360 app, using the insta360 app (I'm aware that without that no GPS data gets captured).  I share this small file just to keep it small and easy to work with, but I can provide others if it'd be helpful.

Here's what I get when I try to parse with the x3 file:

Code Select Expand

ExifTool.exe -m -ee -api largefilesupport -p ../gpx.fmt insta360.x3.gps.insv
Warning: Truncated '\x00\x02\x00\x00' data - insta360.x3.gps.insv
Warning: Unexpected Insta360 record 0x300 length - insta360.x3.gps.insv

Here's what I get when I parse with the x2 file:

Code Select Expand

ExifTool.exe -m -ee -api largefilesupport -p ../gpx.fmt insta360.x2.gps.insv

.... and a whole lot more gps coords
Warning: Truncated '\x00\x02\x00\x00' data - insta360.x2.gps.insv

For what it's worth, I am using the alternate exiftool installer because my files get large and I was hitting the memory limit of the default exiftool.

Also--thank you for this tool!

I just realized I'm using exiftool v12.39.  Once I use the latest (v12.50) it works, however I'm going to hit the memory limit issue unfortunately.  I need to request Oliver makes a new release it sounds like.

We can close this request.

Edit:  Oliver has already made the new release .

Because he's just that good!
