Hi all Thanks in advance, I have an issue that i have had for awhile that I'm just getting around to fix as my skyweather2 works great. The issue is that i see the time lapse videos in the dash and they are Mpg4 files , " SkyCamPi_2022-11-27.mp4" but i can play them even if i download them. They just come up with an error that its the wrong format or corrupt. The files are very small also only like 1 meg, is this normal..? They get created each day and the camera works fine , I just have never been able to view any.
Thanks Les

So it looks like I have a few videos made but most are only around a 1mb, But i just found one that was 70mb.. and it played well.. not sure why the others are so low but the Its does work but not very often... All I can guess is that sometime i get a low power alert even though its got the right voltage but ime guessing more current issues. Even so it has a 3Amp powers supply and thick wire to it .. I just think the 3B raspberry Pi is very fiddly on power management. So the throttle down may have alot to do with it..

The 3B is barely able to process the pictures. If it is throttled, things will sometimes fail. To fix this switch to a better power supply, cool the device or switch to a 4B.

Thankyou John, Merry Christmas !
I have been keeping an Eys on it and it makes Videos sometimes, so you would be right .. The Pi is very tricky on power supply.. Seems more current also.. Thanks
