Hi, all.

I'm trying to reinstall gopro-overlay again, but for some reason i get the following:

venv/bin/pip install gopro_overlay

Need to say that this way the cairo installs without any issues.
tried other packages with pip, no problems.

Arch Linux, all up-to-date.
pip 24.3.1 from /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/pip (python 3.13)

honestly I've got no idea what that bloody wheel,
last time, ~6 month ago it all installed well, but now problems

please, could anyone help

thank you

I'm now trying to use something called Docker.
the line i copied from this site is not working
when I put:
docker run -it -v "$(pwd):/work" overlaydash/gopro-dashboard-overlay gopro-dashboard.py --use-gpx-only --gpx 1-16==14-19.gpx --overlay-size 720x720 --layout-xml /home/vic/all-for-gpx/mj-map.xml --profile map ffmpeg-profiles.json" sample.mov
i get
ValueError: map is not a built-in profile, and no config file found at /home/ubuntu/.gopro-graphics/ffmpeg-profiles.json

i don't have /home/ubuntu ???

could anyone help please
thank you

OK.
I managed to make it work.

First, that docker.
to make the foll. code work:
docker run -it -v "$(pwd):/work" overlaydash/gopro-dashboard-overlay gopro-dashboard.py --use-gpx-only --gpx 1-16==14-19.gpx --overlay-size 720x720 --layout-xml /home/vic/all-for-gpx/mj-map.xml --profile map ffmpeg-profiles.json sample.mov
I had to create two folders, config and cache, locally,
then put the file ffmpeg-profiles.json into the folder config,
and then change the above line to
docker run -it -v "$(pwd):/work" overlaydash/gopro-dashboard-overlay gopro-dashboard.py --use-gpx-only --gpx 1-16==14-19.gpx --overlay-size 720x720 --layout-xml mj-map.xml --profile map ffmpeg-profiles.json --config-dir config --cache-dir cache sample.mov

To make the normal way work I had to install python 3.12.
I had to do this with yay, because pacman didn't have 3.12.

So, I did:

yay -S python312
python3.12 --version
sudo pacman -S python-pip
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3.12 /usr/bin/python3

deleted dir venv
then:

python3 -m venv venv
venv/bin/pip install gopro-overlay

and all works as before.

I think the problem is with python3.13 ???

Using cache dir is also useful if we want to keep cache empty, as someone here was asking for earlier.
With either docker or normal version we can just append in the end of the command line

&& rm cache/*

and the cache will be empty.

Having the same error on macos. The hard dependency of the pillow version is the cause, because it does not work with Python 3.13.x

[time4tea]

yes this doesn't work with python 3.13 at the moment. unfortunately, due to dependencies, its a bit harder to make it work on 3.13

[time4tea]

Python 3.13 and 3.14 are supported in latest version, available now on pypi.

it hopefully will install cleanly, just with pip as usual.
