Ha! My invoice shows the left headlight is F and the right is G.

Just had both headlights replaced for the second time under warranty for the yellow eyebrow on my 2018 Model S. One light is now revision F and the other G. Hopefully these versions have fixed the issue. The original set went bad after about a year and a half. Replacements also lasted...

I was looking forward to a supercharger in Elizabethtown to top off before getting on Bluegrass Pkwy to Lexington. I still get a little range anxiety on the Bowling Green to Lexington segment during the winter months.

@Landrover360 - Tesla mobile service came out to the house and changed the defective headlight. Worked for about a year (till about 10/2019), then the LED trim started going out on the light. They ended up fixing that under warranty as well. Hoping that the last headlight replacement came...

@aleagle - The previous/next buttons work when there are multiple events loaded. You will see events listed in the "Select Event to Play" dropdown. If there are multiple events loaded but not going to previous/next - post what operating system and browser you are using. That will help to...

I'm still considering making it open source as several have been wanting to help contribute that way. There's also a Docker container version of the application that can run locally. It still requires Internet access to download some of the libraries but I'm looking to make all that local...

@marshalldavids - Sorry to hear your car was stolen and hopefully no damage. Glad the app was useful for you to easily search through the videos! I built this for cases like that. As far as recording the multiple views into one video file, I'm on Mac and have followed these steps from Apple...

@Reginald Jones - Which browser are you using? I can't tell from the screenshot. Try using Safari or Firefox and see if the videos show.

I added Previous and Next buttons to the site for faster switching between events. Several have requested this as a feature. Keep the good suggestions coming. TeslaCam Video WebApp Player

I think I have that same adapter and same issue. Trying to see how to select multiple files in the iOS interface - but no luck. In meantime, I'm looking to see if there are any workarounds I can do from the app side. Yes, would be great if the in-car browser just had access to the USB drive!

@davidg42 - Good suggestion. I'm looking at ways to easily tell which directory/event is actively playing.

@LordMelkor - Can you verify your videos will play individually by playing with the operating system default player or VLC app? Also, what version of Windows? If still having issues, you may upload a single video file somewhere and DM me the location and I can test/troubleshoot when I get a...

Yes, I'll be adding some browser compatibility checks to the site to make it more obvious. The videos previously worked with Chrome - but some recent Tesla updates changed that. Seems that Safari or Microsoft Edge browsers play these videos the best.

@satheesh.net - Glad you like the web app! I'm working on a local version that users can run on their own computers. In meantime, there is a Docker version - if familiar with that framework. The Docker container still requires some external dependencies - so will need Internet access. It...

@rad1027 - There are several "apps" with similar names. The web site I created, and what this thread is referencing, is browser-based and doesn't have such an error message or require you to re-code the videos. It does require using Safari, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge browsers. Just go to...

The site loads in the browser - but no file access to the USB drive from the browser. The file open dialog doesn't open. Would be VERY handy if it did connect directly to the USB.

After one of the Tesla releases, some of the newer cars were showing H.265 videos. I think some (if not all) of those changed back to H.264. So not an indication if a car is HW3 or not. I need to update the text on the site that refers to H.265 being found in newer cars. Others may be able...

In a lot of cases - the event that triggered a Sentry Mode capture takes place about one minute from the end of the recordings. The last file (in the group of files spanning 10 minutes) may only be a few seconds - so the "Jump to Event" button jumps to the previous clips to that one-minute...

Although it doesn't help your case now... There's a new Supercharger for Nashville area under construction near I-24 & Thompson Lane. This places it about 16 miles from Brentwood charger... or about 3.5 miles off of I-65 exit 79. Reportedly scheduled to be open by Thanksgiving. New Nashville...

@sceptic - Can you verify the filename you are seeing for the rear cameras that are being saved on disk? If you have rear camera files but not showing in the app - it may have a name that is not expected. Chrome doesn't currently support the video format for the latest TeslaCam files. Other...

Update to the site is being pushed out now to handle the '*-back.mp4' naming convention for the rear camera. Will need to reload the page if already loaded. Let me know if any issues. Thanks for the feedback! :)

Thanks very much for the heads up on that. That's very interesting. Telsa changed the rear camera filename from a sample I had earlier. So there appears to be a mix of different filenames in flight at the moment. I'll try to push an update later this evening to fix this.

Just updated the site about the time you posted. :) Updated the site to allow for rear camera in Tesla v10 release! Also a few layout improvements and background enhancements. Some of the latest videos from Sentry Mode play best in Safari, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge browsers. Click on a video...

Yes. I'm working on adding the 4th camera to the web app. Will update this thread when the app has been updated.

It's possible the CPU and/or browser can't keep up with the video playback at that speed. I looked at the Activity Monitor on my 2014 MacBook Pro when playing the video 10x speed in Chrome - and the browser used 4 times or more CPU playing at faster rate. However, it did still play. I also...

Try in another browser, such as Safari, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge and see if that works. Some of the video formats have been changing recently and some browsers can't play them.

FWIW - I primarily built this web app to temporarily fill that gap of needing to view Sentry videos. True, it is still a pain that I have to unmount the USB drive and insert it into the adaptor cable on my phone to view the events. At least I can do it in the car if needed. With this being a...

The app currently works with the local filesystem access to the TeslaCam files (whether copied to local hard drive or USB drive connected). There's been a few requests to allow access to larger long term storage such as Amazon S3 or Google Drive directories. I will look into what it would take...

It seems that one of the recent Tesla updates also changed the encoding of the videos. Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge browsers are able to play the videos. I'm working on an update for the website to detect that the videos aren't playing and display a message to the user about using one...

Yes, Chrome has been picky about playing some of the videos lately. Chrome doesn't support the newer H.265 videos and after recent Tesla updates, even some H.264 videos were seeing a similar issue. They do work in other browsers - such as Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. I'm going to add...

We're seeing that some of the videos from newer Teslas (and some cases with others that have recently been upgraded) have videos that are encoded in a way that may require to view with the Safari browser on the Mac or Microsoft Edge on Windows. I'm looking at adding some additional debug...

I created a web site to view the Sentry events from my phone when I get in the car. I still have to unmount the USB drive and plug it into my phone using an adaptor cable... but at least I can see the events. The website is: TeslaCam Video WebApp Player Nothing to download/install and videos...

Thanks for including the screenshots. It is correct that you will only see one event on the left dropdown if there was only one "event" directory selected. However, all of the videos should play back-to-back even if more than the normal 30 files. I will see if I can add more informational...

Just pushed out an update to the TeslaCam Video WebApp. Added the ability to view ALL video files from all the saved events in the TeslaCam directory. This should speed up browsing through all those files! Some browsers, such as Chrome, will display an extra dialog box to verify the site is...

Quick update... I'm finishing up on the ability to load a root directory of saved TeslaCam events and navigate through the events in the browser. That's been one of the main features requested by users. Took a little longer to get there and still testing through a few scenarios. Also making...

I was there in September and took a few pictures of the charging stations to add to Google Maps. There are some trees planted behind the chargers but most likely haven't grown large enough to provide any shade.

Sounds like you tried the right things. I couldn't reproduce the issue but may try to add some additional debugging info that can display to the user when the system detects the files aren't playing.

I just purchased a USB Type-C to USB 3.1 Gen1 Female Adapter from Amazon and received it a couple days ago. It does work on my Android Pixel 2 phone but haven't tested on any other devices. I followed these steps to view on mobile: Properly remove the usb drive from the car and insert the...

Definitely! Thanks for the comments. More improvements to come.

Thanks for the comments. I definitely also found myself wanting that feature over the weekend when I was going through a couple weeks worth of sentry events. Will be looking into that soon.

I believe technically it should work as long as the browser is capable of playing the video codec - although I haven't tested yet. Select all the files in the directory as it may not play if only selecting an individual file. I'm ordering a USB-C adaptor to test loading the videos into my...

The 4GB drive is too small - especially with three cameras recording. My TeslaCam files are about 30MB per camera per minute. About 90MB per minute for all three cameras and a saved event is 10 minutes of videos. It quickly adds up.

I recently added some requested features to the web app. Play video at half speed. Added individual buttons to quickly change speed to the desired rate. Just go to the website to access the application. Nothing to download, install, or upload. TeslaCam Video WebApp Player

I'm always watching to see what the car is going to do when I'm in a lane that is splitting into two. If I detect the car wanting to drift in the middle and can't seem to make up its mind - I grab the steering wheel and force it into the lane I prefer. Depending on the location, sometimes the...

I'm expecting some day when we get in the car and see a Sentry event occurred - that we click on an "app" or open the in-car browser to display the list of events and ability to play the videos side-by-side. (As well as maybe delete capability ;) )

Exactly! Glad you like it. Nothing to download or install.

I'm adding a Docker container version to my build pipeline for the app and experimenting with having it run locally (for those that may need it in that environment). Will provide the image name when it's ready.

@SucreTease - Sounds like you are doing the right steps... Will need to find why the videos play in QT but not in a browser. If on Mac, see what codec is used for the videos by right-clicking on one of the video files from Finder and select "Get Info". From the popup, expand More Info to see...
