Mavic Pro Playback Support

[tudorDME]

The Mavic Pro has a completely new Media Playback layout. We realize that it just came out but we were really surprised to see the new layout. It seems like it is very incompatible with the current Playback system.

Will this document be updated to reflect the new aircraft? Any idea on when there might be documentation for it so we can inform our users?

Hi @tudorDME, currently, the iOS-PlaybackDemo doesn't support Mavic Pro yet. You can check the latest iOS SDK Sample Code: https://github.com/dji-sdk/Mobile-SDK-iOS to get the demo of the Media Playback functionalities for Mavic Pro.

Thanks for the reply. It seems pretty clear that the media viewer is getting a big overhaul for the better and we attempt to add functionality using the information above.

Is there a timeline for when an updated playback app sample might be available?

Also, is this new media viewer going to find its way into the older models or will the release of the Mavic require the maintenance of two separate methods?

Hi @tudorDME, for now, please take our iOS SDK Sample Code for an example of using Media Playback: https://github.com/dji-sdk/Mobile-SDK-iOS, we might consider to update the current playback demo to support more new products in the near future. Thanks!

Hi @tudorDME, we have updated the Mavic's new Media Playback demo UI in iOS SDK Sample Code recently, please get the latest code from https://github.com/dji-sdk/Mobile-SDK-iOS and check if it helps. Thanks!

Hey, @oliverou , I am trying to run the playback sample code together with a Mavic Pro but I am getting the message "Playback not supported" when opening the playback views. Any idea of what might be causing it?

Hi @alexsaaf , please check my previous replies above, currently, the Mavic Pro doesn't support Playback mode, and this playback sample code is only designed for playback mode. So you cannot run this playback sample app on your Mavic Pro. You can check this tutorial: Using Media Download Mode and test it on your Mavic Pro then.
