DVR Auto-Importer

A modern desktop application to streamline the export of DVR footage recorded by DJI Goggles (or other devices) from microSD cards. Built with Wails, Go, and React.

App semi-vibecoded with Github Copilot and Gemini CLI.

Features

• Automated Scanning: Quickly scan mounted volumes (SD cards, external drives) for media files.
• Smart Detection: Automatically detects .mp4, .srt, .mov, .mkv.
• Organized Export: Copies files into subdirectories named by their creation date (YYYY-MM-DD) for organization.
• Duplicate Prevention: Checks for existing files in the destination to avoid redundant copies.
• Real-time Progress: Visual progress bars for each file during the export process.
• Quick Access: Reveal exported files in Finder/File Explorer directly from the app.
• Terminal UI: A terminal-inspired aesthetic (will probably change in the future).

Configuration

The application can automatically set a default export destination using the DVR_EXPORT_PATH environment variable.

Set Environment Variable (macOS/Linux)

Add this to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bash_profile:

export DVR_EXPORT_PATH=~/Nextcloud/FPV/Videos  

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Go (v1.24+)
• Node.js & npm
• Wails CLI

Development

Run the application in development mode:

wails dev

Build

Generate a production-ready application bundle:

wails build

For macOS, this will create a DVRAutoimporter.app in the build/bin directory.

Technical Details

• Backend: Go (using github.com/wailsapp/wails/v2)
• Frontend: React (TypeScript)

Legacy Script (macOS only)

The original Applescript version is still available as a fallback in the root directory:

osascript DVRImporter.applescript

Note: The legacy script is no longer the primary focus and does not include the advanced features of the desktop app.

Important: This application is primarily tested on macOS.
