Cheers Gary, forgot about that build, the one I referred to was 1%'s build.


Congratulations too, forgot to put it in my post lol

As I have a new born child...I'm watching time to time what's new ! but it is going quite fast...and ML needs a bit of time so I'm not Up up uptodate some times...
So we would have the audio monitoring ?  ??
Very good Idea to make a EOSM for noobs AND Advanced ! If I can help in writing (procedure or video fundamentals...not writing prog... ) or testing or file hosting (via my dropbox) I'll be glad !
I've put this morning :
[EOSM]FullbackADTGui[EOSM]
Is it the last one ?
By the way I had a little bug on .mov shooting :
On the upper tight side I had a little icon (like a thermometer) with 3 or 4 square appearing and then a message with "your video has been stopped"or something like that...
In a canon graphical style I think more than a ML style menu...
I had one time or two this message with the previous ML I had...This morning I think I had it 4 times...the first reboot didn't solve...
With a few reboot it stops...
Did some you had this ? What is the cause ?
I'll try to take a pic of the thing...
AGAIN Thanks for what you all do !
I must go to work...so next time for more !

The FullbackADTGui is the latest build that 1% has put up.
As for the mov bug, its not a bug, its from the canon firmware, telling you the buffer it uses between the camera and your card.
It stops recording due to the write speed of your card. If the speed of your card is too slow then the buffer fills up, when it hits the top it cant write any more to the card and then stops the recording. If you have the bitrate mod set too high for your card this can cause it to fill the buffer faster. What class is your card? I recommend a minimum of class 10 when using ML and recording video to minimise problems while recording. From experience, anything lower and you may get stopped video every now and then, not good when you are trying to capture something.

@funkysound

Sounds like a good idea. Try rootwangs version. If you used it and dont have the bug and he tries it and doesnt get the bug too then there is some kind of connection there. If he then tries 1% version and gets the bug then the devs may be able to narrow it down a bit more.

You could try 1% latest version. Grab this zip from here, or try the ML build that was put up a few posts ago by jerrykil from here.
Unzip it to a folder on your computer.
Copy all the files inside onto the root of your memory card (32gb or smaller)
Put it in your camera and power the camera up then make sure the mode dial is on camera manual. (Middle setting)
In the menu go to spanner 4 this is the page that shows the camera firmware, should say firmware ver.: 2.0.2. Press set on it and it will show the camera and lens firmware. Press set again on camera and it will give the firmware update screen. Choose OK.  Dont touch the camera. Let it do its thing. The screen may flash a few times but eventually you will get a screen with green writing on it. At this point turn off the camera. Wait for a few seconds then turn it back on. If at any point in time the SD light goes red and stays red for longer than a few seconds pull the battery from the camera.  This shouldnt happen but just in case it does.

ML should now be installed. Just press two fingers on the screen at the same time and the ML menu should appear.

To test for the bug, put the 18-55mm ef-m on and just turn the camera on. Check ML is running by brining up menu then try taking a photo. If you get focus lock and then shutter activation you dont have the bug. If you get focus lock and no shutter activation after a full press then you have the bug.

If you want to uninstall ML. perform the same steps but when you get to the screen with the green writing change the mode dial to auto camera. After powering off reset your camera to default then format your memory card in your computer.

Remember, you do this at your own risk. I take no responsibility if you break your camera. This post is for information only.

Im still lurking around. Keeping an eye open waiting for the devs to give us something to test. Ive done all im capable of and im happy to sit back, hunt for bugs and wait for the devs.

Turning off is doesnt fix the bug. As its electronic IS there is no manual way of disabling it. Only thru the menu.

Wow loads happened while I was away! lol

@1% could it be that the difference you have spotted be the cause of our shutterbug? Is it something that can be fixed?

@jerrykil here are logs of mine from a few pages ago.
DM.log shutter activating via hack
DM.log shutter not activating

same here with new card and not using eoscard. Hopefully one of the devs can figure this out. Being as we now have one confirmed working 18-55mm efm. Im guessing its just a case of find out whats happening differently thats causing the bug.

Seems pretty straight forward, but I am not getting the same bug. Does your focus indicator bracket turn green or red or does it remain white? Have you tried setting on manual focus?

Can you confirm the steps you took from starting with a stock eos m and blank formatted SD card so i can replicate those steps to see if it fixes it for me. Did you use eoscard to make your card bootable?

@1% is it worth jerrykil doing a dm.log to see if you can see a difference between the log i did to maybe narrow down the problem?

Sure, this is the issue as I have it.

I have my eos M with ML installed and bootloading on fw 2.0.2 and using the EF-M 18-55mm IS lens on fw 2.0.0.

When the camera is powered up the shutter wont activate. It will focus at half press but on full press it wont take the shot. Neither will it record video or work in auto mode. In order to make the shutter activate i either have to perform a quick power cycle or rotate the lens and back to break the contacts between lens and body. Only then will the shutter actuate and take shots.

Steps to test. Confirm ef-m 18-55mm lens is on the camera. Then confirm you have ML running by powering on the camera and pressing two fingers on the display. Does ML menu show up? If so. Next step. Power off the camera for a count of five seconds. During this the SD light should flash briefly. Now. Power on the camera in photo mode. Without changing any settings take a photo. Does the shutter activate and capture the shot or does it just autofocus and no shot?

I'm running from tragic lantern 6D binaries i compiled a few commits ago. maybe something they did fixed it recently? let me know if these files work:

http://www.bot-fly.com/tragiclatern_eosm202_sept4.zip

Here is another one i built today. still no shutter bug for me:
http://www.bot-fly.com/magiclantern-v2.3.NEXT.2013Sep08.EOSM202.zip

Neither versions worked can you confirm your M FW and lens FW, mine are 2.0.2 and 2.0.0. @gary2013 can you give these a go too see if they do anything for you.

mine works fine so far. i;ve had the bug on the old firmware 1+ML but it was spontaneous. right now i have my 18-55 in and no problems as of yet

Are you using 1%'s latest ML version with the EF-M 18-55mm? What firmware are your lens and camera on? This could be the breakthru we need to find the fix to this bug! If yours is working then there may be something in the logs that one of the devs can see the difference between us having the bug and you not having it.

Can you upload the contents of your SD card, just the ML folder, autoexec and the fw file. Zip them all together and ill grab them and test them in my M to see if theres any difference.

The only thing that is so different about this one lens, and not even the pancake brother, is that it uses IS controlled electronically from the cam body. The pancake has no IS and yet it works fine with ML. Just this one zoom lens has a problem.

Gary

Does this happen for the 11-22mm ef-m? That has Electronic IS i believe.

how do i reproduce this bug? has this been posted, i searched quickly and i couldn't find any exact directions. does a power cycle fix it for you?

Just turn the camera on with ML bootloading and the shutter wont activate, power cycle or rotate lens and it will work until you next power off. Is not a permanent fix.

Is anyone who owns the 18-55mm lense NOT experiencing the shutter bug?

I think its all 18-55mm lenses that are affected. Its still an unknown bug too. Between a couple of us on here have posted a few DM logs to see if 1% or another dev can nail the issue but its drawing a blank so far.

Is the intervalolmeter working for everyone else? For me it hangs and freezes up the camera after the countdown gets to zero to start the time-lapse...

Try the power cycle trick before using the intervalometer. Power on the camera then power it off and back on within a second, if the SD light flashes red for a split second then you were too slow. start again.  If you did it, try the intervalometer. What lens are you using?

There are two work arounds, power up, rotate lens to break connection with camera and rotate back. Personally I wouldnt dream of doing this. Risks of shorting etc. Alternatively, power on the camera then power it back off and then back on before the SD light flashes. You get about a second, maybe two to do this.

Thank you 1%, Gary, and others for your help.

STEPS TO REMOVE ML FROM EOS-M

MAKE SURE MANUAL MODE ON...
1. Turn camera on in Photo mode (middle button top dial)
2. Press "Mode" box on touch screen, top, left
3. Press wheel left until you get to 'M' box (manual)
CLEAR SETTINGS...
4. Press MENU key (if old version of ML, press Play first)
5. Move to last wrench on top menu
6. Go to last wrench on right.
7. Scroll down to "Clear all settings" SET
REMOVE ML AUTOBOOT ...
8. Repease Step 2,3; that is, Go back to 'M' Manual mode because it might have changed to default 'CA'
9. MENU, then First Wrench, then Format Card (steps in shorthand now)
10. Then Last wrench, Update Firmware, pick latest viersion, SET (now that card's been formatted, it has no ML so camera will see nothing, and look to revert to factory boot)
11. GREEN ML screen should come up about BOOKDISK flag
12. Rotate dial to Movie mode
13. WHITE ML screen will now say "BOOTDISK flag is DISABLED"
14. Turn Camera Off
15. Format card in computer, ML files will still be on card
16. Turn Camera ON
EOS-M SHOULD BE AS IT CAME FROM FACTORY

RE-INSTALL ML (1% Build)

1. Get latest EOS-M install.  Currently: https://bitbucket.org/OtherOnePercent/tragic-lantern-6d/downloads/[EOSM]FullbackADTGui.zip
2. Drop the EOSM fir from the zip file
3. Copy autoexec.bin from zip file to card.
4. Copy ML folder to card
5. Camera in 'M' mode, last wrench, update firmware
6. When you have success shut down the camera.
7. Pop the card into your computer and make it bootable with EOScard.
8. Put card back in camera, and start

SOME POTENTIAL ISSUES THAT MAY CORRUPT ML, THEREBY NEEDING A RE-INSTALL.  These may be fixed by the time you read this!

o. Shutter-bug Issue with 18-55mm M STM lens
o. Potential ML corruption from changing lenses.

Stuff To Remember
o. The camera won't go into "Crop Mode" unless the top dial in on Movie mode.

You mean this can fix the 18-55 efm bug!!?

Malakai, you are right, I was doing the quick off and on and not realizing it. It happens when you work a lot and late at night. Sorry.

Gary

No worries lol

I can only imagine. Its folk like you that are a godsend to everyone else. As far as im concerned you are an amazing human being.

Thanks for everything you have done so far.

Just pondering stuff, is it possible to boost fps on the liveview to 60fps instead of it being 30fps? I only ask cuz i just noticed it jump to 60fps for a second or two after i did something, possibly changed menu or something.

@1% am I right in thinking you dont have the EOS M to work with? Not criticizing. Just curious. If you dont then hats off to you!

When the camera doesn't take pics with the 18-55, I can go to modules menu, press load all modules, shut the camera off, turn the camera back on and then it takes pics. If I then shut the camera off and then back on, the camera goes back to not taking pics. I can keep repeating this cycle. I don't know if you can find anything helpful about that cycle to fix the problem.

Gary

When you load all modules then power off are you waiting for the SD light to flash once then powering up or powering up before that light has flashed?
If you power back up after that light has flashed it still wont shoot. I think that final write closes something or resets something that brings back the lens bug. If you power off before that light flashes and back on then it will shoot.
Crazy bug!! Its the only one that for me is holding ML back a little as I only have the 18-55mm ef-m. I still use it but its a real PITA doing the power cycle every time I want to use it.

Can ML do HDR h.264 video? Ive been using the Film Picture style but if i could get HDR too that would be fantastic!
