    Audio codex that will play audio on goggles?

    Now that DJI Goggles are no longer being made, has anyone found a backdoor way to get audio to play with the video files in the goggles? I have used HandBrake to generate video files with 13 different audio codeces. All the files play audio fine with VLC, but no file will play the audio on the...

    How to stop a "run away" when Mavic Pro is in your hand?

    I just drop this note for anyone who is looking for the HOMEPOINT from the last flight. On the mobile device I find the directory: DEVICE:\DJI\dji.pilot.pad\LOG\CACHE\flyPlan in this directory are many .txt files. They all contain the Latitude and Longitude of the flight. If you look at the...

    Does blinking GREEN light on MP always mean home point has been recorded

    I will run some tests today inside a garage with stucco walls. No satellite at all inside. When I open the garage door, I get enough sky exposure to see 2-5 satellites. I want to see what the "double green flash" looks like that says I have P-mode plus vision detection. I will look at the RC...

    Does blinking GREEN light on MP always mean home point has been recorded

    @MA2 317 Thanks for your input. I need to know if the flashing GREEN positively means that home point has been set. I have been inside buildings when I take off with slow yellow flashing because there are no satellites in position to make a FULL GPS location. But a few seconds later I see...

    Does blinking GREEN light on MP always mean home point has been recorded

    I have seen in other threads that pilots say that blinking GREEN indicator light on tail of MP means that GPS has been found and home point recorded. Is this true in all cases? If I take off early (in ATTimode but GPS not found yet) and start to ascend slowly, and the GREEN indicator starts to...

    How to stop a "run away" when Mavic Pro is in your hand?

    @Meta4 In regard to your disqualifying my conversation with Tech Support from DJI which I documented above. I am assuming that you immediately called DJI Tech Support and got them to say that upon extensive research that there is no last homepoint saved in the MP? Oh, I forgot, you don't do...

    How to stop a "run away" when Mavic Pro is in your hand?

    @Meta4 i didn't know you had a psychiatric background and made judgements of people like: "Bottom line is that you are not playing with a full deck." So I think it is time for you to demonstrate that you are "playing with a full deck". Since I know you don't like to do any research before...

    How to stop a "run away" when Mavic Pro is in your hand?

    @Meta4 why do you make statements without doing the research to be sure you are correct? The MP user manual does indicate that RTH will go to the last known home point. It indirectly implies that the last recorded homepoint will be used. This is why they do not want you to fly "indoors"...

    How to stop a "run away" when Mavic Pro is in your hand?

    As my point 5) in my last post says, starting in ATTimode would not have changed anything. My system (could be just the NDL app) will take me into GPS mode as soon as enough satellites are found. I have no clue about homeposition location. Some documents say FC sets it to last known HP that...

    How to stop a "run away" when Mavic Pro is in your hand?

    SUMMARY of what has been learned in this 80 post thread on the "fly away" of 23 June 2021. I am giving the primary items and will edit later to fill in details in next few days. 1) on BOTH the FC and the MOBILE, there are no files that record .txt or .dat or .log for the "fly away" scenario...

    How to stop a "run away" when Mavic Pro is in your hand?

    BudWalker, Much thanks for your contributions to looking at the .dat files. I have done a lot of this for Mission Planner and QuanumNova machines, but never for DJI machines. Just to be sure, every time I hit the battery power button to the ON state, I will get a new .dat file in FC? So that...

    How to stop a "run away" when Mavic Pro is in your hand?

    BudWalker, I have only one MP. I did the "captured flight" today with drone tethered to cord and flies no higher than 4-5 feet in small circle. I find no .txt or .dat on the cell phone for this flight (shouldn't it be there?). But on MC I have 2 sets of flights: one for 27 JUN and another for...

    How to stop a "run away" when Mavic Pro is in your hand?

    dirkclod, I agree that 60+ posts are excessive, but given that we have someone chime in that they had the same thing happen and the turning FC upside down DID NOT STOP the rotors, this potentially points to a real problem. I hope he has the FC logs to relay what happened. I have not been able...

    How to stop a "run away" when Mavic Pro is in your hand?

    BudWalk, here is the Dropbox link to the full set of flight plans for my Mavic Pro. Thirteen in all. Also here is the full list of flight plans. Maybe this afternoon I will do a "captured flight" (put the drone on a nylon card so it cannot fly away if something goes wrong. I will go up to 8...

    How to stop a "run away" when Mavic Pro is in your hand?

    Meta4, I think I may have found something that explains why I cannot see the "data set" you requested in post #28 that you wanted. I have nothing in my NDL software that looks anything like your display in post #28. What I do have is a "Library" entry that shows a picture of all flights I have...
