recorder/contrib/gpx-to-rec

gpx-to-rec.py

This script attempts to convert a gpx file into rec files to be used with recorder. I've only tested this script with gpx files with only one track and one segment from Phonetrack.

Installation

gpx-to-rec.py depends on gpxpy which you can install with pip:

pip install gpxpy

Usage

The script takes the .gpx file as an argument and creates .rec files in the same directory as the script. Example:

python3 gpx-to-rec.py my_track.gpx

You can then copy those .rec files to recorder's storage location for the corresponding user and device. By default it's in /var/spool/owntracks/recorder/store/rec/<username>/<device>. Make sure to change <username> and <device> to your usecase. After copying the files over, make sure that recorder has permissions to write to them:

sudo chown owntracks:owntracks /var/spool/owntracks/recorder/store/rec/<username>/<device>/*

Again, edit the command for your usecase. In my case, recorder uses a separate user named owntracks, which is why I needed to change the owner.

And there you have it. Now every point from your gpx file should be displayed on, for example, frontend.
