Hi guys,
I'm trying to get a lil' privacy here
I know right now it's rather hard, but I'm trying to take my steps. So far setting Seacloud with https and encryption on a 2TB HDD wasn't too hard. Problem is, it doesn't upload the phone pictures to the server, at the moment. A second solution would be to have an app to sync those pictures to a network drive, which is already on Seafile, and would be then automatically backed up. This could be done via SMB or SCP/SFTP. Do you know of any apps doing this, copying any new detected file within an specifed folder to a network share?
PS: Yeah yeah, I know owncloud does this out of the box. Their apps are far better for this, but the way they store their filesystem isn't very clean IMHO, so I preferred seacloud instead (owncloud uses normal files for its storage, which can lead to issues implementing file history, while seacloud uses a database structure).
I was in a trip, and I took a lot of photos and videos. I get home, upload the to google drive to be able to share them, and I see that a nice video has been created. I search about this option (cool feature), I wanted to edit the video that was created but I see that it is compatible with only a bunch of devices. Expand supported devices.
I killed the google by trying to bypass this "device compatibility", but no results.
What I have tried:
-Downloading an early version of Google Photos (as a result from reading from this )
-Renaming build.prop file to be like Samsung S6 How_to_here
-Installing some "wonder apps" this_one
None worked.
Feel free to try 'em too.
I mention that my phones hardware will surely support video processing (chinese/indian stuff Gionee Elife E7)
So, my question is: how to make that option (video creating & editing in Google photos) available from other phones, excluding the compatibility list.
Cheers!
I enrolled in an paid coding bootcamp near my home. I learnt many great things and they also offered a two month access to their online coding tutorials. I noticed that the app also had offline viewing. Now , since the access i have is only for two months, is there a way i can view these offline contents even after i lose my access? It would be for future references and strictly for my personal educational purposes only. Now, some basic details are:
1) The files are stored in /android/data/(.com.appname.somthing)
2) Each video is broken into 4 files each.
3) The files are as follows: an audio named file(which is in .mp4 format), a video named file(.mp4), a jpeg file (which contains a random frame from the video, and a .mpd file.
4) after some basic searching , i came to know .mpd files are used for something called dash streaming. I don't any technical details of the same as I am just starting to code.
I would like to know if there's a tool which decrypts all the 4 files and convert it into a single .mp4 file OR If a tool exist which could play these files after importing them one by one.
I really don't know if this is possible or not but either way I would know about video encryption technique used by android apps.

as i know media files have something named *decoder* the app that you have **encrypted** the media file
**encrypt not means make a file part by part it means Changing and calculating codes by a formula just their own app can read and decrypt and decode it** forget it bro
RE: Google Photos
I recently got a new budget phone, which I actually like considering the very little $ it cost. It's been flawless except one problem which makes it impossible for me to find any photos. The phone is a Umidigo Power running stock Android 9. The one and only app that is doing what I am about to show is VideoShow which I use frequently and want to keep.
The phone is pulling every single folder which contains a graphic file (hundreds of folders and thousands of thumbnails) and putting them in Google Photos be making it impossible to find my own stuff. I have emailed both phone maker & app maker with no success. Attached is a screenshot of a small percentage of what's showing up.
I have tried several times to set up the free 60-day trial for Lightroom Premium from my S23Ultra (the only way, it seems, to be able to use Expert RAW) and it will not go through ('Galaxy Store cannot complete purchase' message). The free trial is the only option, as going straight to the £3.79/month option is not clickable. All the credit card details are confirmed as correct, etc. Is the trial no longer working/supported? If not, how else can I use Expert RAW, please, as it doesn't have an export function to the phone's gallery, etc., and LR is the only option presented to use it?
you can use Google Snapseed (it is free) for editing photos on the phone, or just edit them on PC using something like RawTherapee or Darktable (both are free), no need to pay for Adobe products. however you do not need to subscibe to lightroom premium to use it, basic light and color adjustment controls are available for free. and if you are happy with the default heavy pocessing expert raw applies automatically, you do not need to edit photos at all (but that kinda defies the general purpose of shooting raw...)
Unfortunately the RAW files from the phone are DNG format and my computer (Mac Book Pro) doesn't recognise that format. Therefore I have to edit them on the phone somehow and convert them to PNG or JPG before copying them to the MBP. I tried Snapseed earlier and it does work but it's somewhat limited. Better than nothing though. Thanks.
you can use both darktable (https://www.darktable.org/install/) or rawtherapee (https://rawtherapee.com/downloads/) to edit them on mac, both programs are multi-platrofm and support macOS
but as I said, on the phone you can use Snapseed (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.niksoftware.snapseed) or do basic editing on lightroom even without premium features and export image as jpeg
I may be misunderstanding, but when you say "(the only way, it seems, to be able to use Expert RAW)", I'd just like to point out that I've been able to use Expert RAW without paying for the Lightroom app. I did install it (to play around), so I'm not sure if it needs to be installed for Expert RAW to work, but paying for it is not a "requirement" to use Expert RAW.
But of course, I did read that you want to modify the images, so if the free is not good enough, it seems @Daekin gave some good examples/options . I just wanted to point out for anyone else that to use Expert RAW the paid version of Lightroom is not required.

I meant that, as far as I could see, the only link to an editing option on the Expert RAW screen is the Lr one. It may be that others can be used but they weren't being presented to me on the Expert RAW screen - at the foot of the screen there are just three option icons - Lr, share and bin. I couldn't even get the free 60-day trial to purchase, even though my credit card details had been verified and accepted, the purchase (actually a free trial) would not go through, with several attempts. Very odd.

Gotcha.
Yeah all I see are those three icons as well. But that is odd that it wouldn't go through to start the trial...I wonder if it is just a temporary bug.
I just saw an article about this.
An issue with a top Galaxy S23 Ultra camera feature has been fixed | Digital Trends
If you tried to subscribe to Adobe Lightroom Premium on your Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, but couldn't, Adobe has fixed the issue. Here's what was going on.
www.digitaltrends.com
well...in the case that Lightroom first run wizard when registering a new account has a bug, just go to adobe website and create a new account there. I have opened lightroom and since I logged in into existing account, the premium subscription was not offered for me as part of signin process, I can click on premium features and then I am greeted with the trial subscription. so to bypass registration, sign in using existing adobe account and do not create one from whithin lightroom app
about that icon..well, it is result of samsung - adobe partnership, which promotes lightroom as default editing app. however you can use any other app without problems, just it will be 2 clicks instead of one to open a taken photo there
