Can't connect to Samsung Gear 360 as MTP device

Hi
I'm simply trying to access the videos on my Samsung gear 360 from a Linux(Ubuntu) desktop.
I'm using the following mtp packages and have confirmed the Camera is recognized as an MTP device.

Code:

sudo apt-get install libmtp-dev mtp-tools mtpfs

However when I try and connect via the following command

Code:

mtp-files > file_list.txt

I successfully create the text file but it only contains

Quote:

libmtp version: 1.1.10

mtp-files: Successfully connected

and get the following command line errors

Quote:

Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=6860) is a Samsung Galaxy models (MTP).
PTP_ERROR_IO: failed to open session, trying again after resetting USB interface
LIBMTP libusb: Attempt to reset device
LIBMTP PANIC: failed to open session on second attempt
Unable to open raw device 0

Anyone have any luck connecting to a Samsung gear 360 from the command line?

In my opinion simple-mtpfs is the quickest, most reliable, and easiest way to mount a mtp device right now.
https://github.com/phatina/simple-mtpfs/

Then make a little script for it, mount it and browse it like any other fs.

Code:

#! /usr/bin/env bash



#Script for simple-mtpfs



[ -d $HOME/camera ] || mkdir $HOME/camera



PS3="

Select an option.:  "

                                        

while :; do

  clear

  options="Quit List_Device Mount Umount"

    select opt in $options; do

      case $opt in

        Quit) clear; exit

        ;;



        List_Device) simple-mtpfs --list-devices

        ;;

            

        Mount) simple-mtpfs ~/camera; echo "Mounted to ~/camera" 

        ;;



        Umount) fusermount -u ~/camera; echo "Unmounted" 

        ;;

      esac

    done

done

Thanks. I successfully downloaded and compiled simple-mtpfs but the problem remains, how to you copy files from an MTP device with this package?
I tried simple-mtpfs -h but can see no options for copying

Previously I was able to create a textfile of the files on the MTP device like so

Quote:

mtp-files > file_list.txt

If you mount the device with simple-mtpfs, then copy to or from that directory with cp, or using a file manager, whatever you normally use to copy a file from one directory to another.
Example, with the device plugged in:

Code:

mkdir ~/camera

simple-mtpfs ~/camera

ls ~/camera

pic1.jpg

pic2.jpg

.....

Then when you are done unmount it.

Code:

fusermount -u ~/camera

Look at:
man simple-mtpfs
man fusermont

Edit: or maybe you don't know how to copy a file from one directory to another.
To device example:

Code:

cp myfile.jpg ~/camera/pictures/

From device:

Code:

cp ~/camera/pictures/file.jpg myfilename.jpg

Look at:
man cp
Or just use a file manager to drag and drop.
