I'm trying to change the desired resolution of video recording of my sx50 using ptp console. Here is how i'm trying to do it.
^{luar set_prop(171,2) //171 is propcase for changing video resolution and 2 sets it to 640x480
luar click("video") // start making video
luar click("video") //stop making video}
problem is, when i click video button through ptp to stop making video, camera hangs and turn off. Is there any solution to this problem? Thanks in advance

I get similar results on elph130. The propcase is 170 instead of 171 for this camera (propset 6, verified by checking prop value after changing in menu). Romlog attached. I haven't looked at what this assert actually means, but I expect that changing movie res requires more than just setting the propcase. I don't think this is a bug in CHDK code, it's just how the canon firmware responds to having that value changed.

Recording and stopping video with click'video" over PTP works fine if I don't change the propcase.

The only alternatives I can think of are to set this using key presses through the Canon menus, or perhaps a UI property http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php?topic=10624.0
