This is just an idea.edoc wrote:Any idea how I get Gtkam, or some other app, to recognize a Sony HDR-CX380 camcorder?
It's not listed in Gtkam - I tried MTP and it failed as well.
I tried all of the USB options and it "could not initialize".
It would be nice to be able to pull clips off the SD card via a USB cable while in the camera rather than always having to remove the SD card and mount it on my laptop.
WDYT?
Idea
It may be that the camcorder does not provide the necessary functions to make its storage available over the USB cable (although for Windows, it might with its camcorder app that came with the camcorder). If that's the case, Puppy would need to have a software program/feature to mimic what the Windows app does to enable the views of the camcorder's storage.
Sometimes for some things that can be made to run in Wine, a Windows program could be adapted to run. But, because it would need direct access to the I/O subsystem, this Wine approach may not get the view it would need to make camcorder storage available for your manipulation.
There may be solution, though, that others can offer.
