Parsing of oSM0 and multiple o options

[cprima]

Not all options can be stacked within one single o:

https://gopro.github.io/labs/control/tech/ says:

Option commands, starting with o can stack many parameter in one command

Using the GoPro QR Code Creator at https://gopro.github.io/labs/control/custom/ gives for Spot Metering Disable Spot
oSM0

But it seems that it is not possible to combine oSM0 with other camera options:

• works: https://gopro.github.io/labs/control/set/?cmd=dVq1mPRoB4V4R1D4FUW1L0SX0oSM0oG1 (…oSM0o…)
• does not work: https://gopro.github.io/labs/control/set/?cmd=dVq1mPRoB4V4R1D4FUW1L0SX0SM0G1 (…SM0…)

Posting this here because I will forget and can find my own note in a few weeks again ;)

Solution: Concatenate multiple o segments. ;)

Ah, and same with the shortcuts oSA, oSB, oSC and oSD:
Does not work with a contracted o but need an own one.

That is sooo cool: I can now go through all my YouTube favorites and extract all "best settings" to a string of characters!

The options optimization might one day go way, as the "starting with o can stack many parameter in one command" was an old idea, but the commands have since increased in complexity. oSM and oSA are pretty rare corner-cases now, but I sure there will be more in time.

Thanks, good to know! (I am increasing the compllexity in my spreadsheet-based link-generator to https://gopro.github.io/labs/control/set/?cmd= and will take this into account -- because I typically come back to such homegrown helpers after months of inactivity)

I also noticed that Nightlapse Photo and Video modes' HyperSmooth EIS seem to share the same command e2, if I am not mistaken.

Yes, e2 is context dependent (currently.)
