Capture App Keeps Crashing1277

GarySnyder private msg quote post Address this user
This is a problem which I thought went away but it hasn't. At around 165 the capture app keeps crashing, that is it transfers to my iPad and then begins to align but crashes out and shuts down the capture app. The 165 is the number of attempts on the mini floor plan but actual scans was 135.

In the past I've found if I shoot the scene again it will take but this time no chance. In the past I also has to reboot both my iPad and camera and then it would work but this time no such luck.

I even copied the model and deleted some scans thinking that perhaps this new update has an issue with 135 but no luck what so ever. This of course is going to cost me another days shot which is the fault of MP as there was no alignment issues or stability issues just an app crash.

I plan on entering support ticket but I have to wait for the job to render which is now approaching 5 hours since uploaded. The previous version of this shoot which included the first 4 floor only took 2 hours to render so I'm hoping that I've not come across a problem that can't be resolved as the last scan before the app bombing out took just fine.

As seen as it's been rendered I'll post the job here and submit a support ticket. Stay tuned

Ugh! I encourage you to open a support ticket even before the job finishing processing.

Seems like an algorithm may have changed about how alignment is done. I wish Pros had the option to specify which scan to align to (as we did in July 2014).

For those following the discussion in this thread, it may be helpful to know that Matterport Capture App was updated two days ago (8 February 2016).

For Everyone Else

If you have not updated to the latest version of the Matterport Capture app, you may want to hold off until @GarySnyder hears back from Matterport Support on this ...

I left a message for Matterport Support (650-641-2241 9,4) asking them to review this thread post and to please either post here or get back to you or I.

[Support is extension 9. Then 4 is for a Pro in the midst of a shoot experiencing problem. I ended up in a mailbox.]

Ah! Good to know. It will be interesting to hear if the updated Capture app fixes the issue you have identified.

Hopefully, you'll hear soon on this topic.

This is not a satisfactory answer. I and everyone else who is on the We Get Around forum want to know what has happen to my job. I expect you as a support person to have an answer not to tell me to download the new version of the capture app.

Please tell me what is happening as this has cost me a loss of a days pay as well as an embarrassment with my customer and potentially every other MP user out could have the same problem.

Please give me an answer or do I need to exculpate this to Scott.

Regards
Gary

Hello Gary,

I see that you have version 2.1.5 (299.10365) of the Capture App. I recommend downloading and upgrading the new Capture app from the App store. Please let me know after you've done this and if it improves your experience.

Warm Regards,

Hello again Gary,

Updating the Capture App a first step to take in this instance, as the changes to the app may improve your experience. If updating the app doesn't result in any positive change we can begin looking at other root causes. Please let me know when you've updated to the newest version of Capture and if anything changes on your end. If you prefer a phone call we can speak with you directly as well.

Best,

Marcus

My model is still showing it's processing and it's now been almost 8 hours. Again this is the same model that processed yesterday in 2 hours. The only difference is some additional scans.

I'm still waiting for a call from MP.

Just finished a call with support and no one is quite sure why it happen but if it happens again I'm going to go through a series of steps to trouble shoot the problem. One thought is the bright light through the windows on the top floor but this is just light there is not IR as the sun is on the opposite side of the building.

Anyway I'll update the to the Feb 8th version of the capture app and pickup from scan 134 which is on the 5th level where the problem occurred. I still have 2 more levels to shoot.

This is what I've shot up to now;

That is an interesting location/project. It was fun going through that tunnel too.

Thank you for sharing it as it is. And I'm looking forward to your entire finished virtual tour!
