      The answer is “maybe”. I don’t have any video or SRT samples from an Inspire2. If you could provide samples I could probably make it work. Just remember to turn Video Caption on in the Go app before your flight.

      I haven’t tested the M2 Zoom. But the MP2 Pro does not store GPS data in the SRT file, like the MP Pro did. So I’m guessing the Zoom doesn’t either. However, if you have an M2 Zoom SRT file you can send me I can verify this.

    Should work with Matrice 200 series then. I know the M210RTK and M210 store the data. Not sure about the M200 though. Question – .MOV files only or can .MP4 also be used.

      Yes, good point. The movie filename (minus the extension) and the SRT filename (without extension) should be the same or else DroneViewer will not know they are paired.

    I have loaded a video from the P4Pro v2 which has the embedded .srt. I all works although the track line is very course in a series of steps. Any solutions please?

      Jim, the coarseness is due to the lat/lon data precision of the waypoints embedded into the video file. It would be great if DJI increased the precision even by one decimal point. I’ve brought this up to them in their forums but it’s fallen on deaf ears.

    Did you ever verify if your software works with Mavic 2 Zoom? I’m viewing the folder on my laptop (tethered to the M2Z) and each MP4 has an SRT file associated with it… cheers

      I do not have a P4 Advanced to test but my guess is that it will work. If you erase your P4’s SD card, then enable Video Captioning in the Go app, you should see .SRT files along with the videos on the SD card when you finish recording videos. Load these videos directly from the SD card into Drone Viewer (using a reader for your computer) and you will probably see the tracks from your P4 Advanced. If not, contact me and I’ll see what I can do to make it work.

    I tried with Dji spark but file csv generated with the website airdata (file ok with race render) don’t load with drone viewer (csv file rename as film name)
