CHDK PTP Canon SX50 Change Resolution of Recording using propcase

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

Maybe it needs also the right values for the frame rate (propcase 167 or 168). 1080p or 720p has an other standard frame rate as 480p.

Good idea :)

Code: [Select]
set_prop(170,2)
set_prop(167,0)
seems to work without crashing on elph130
