Python CLI for embedding DJI drone telemetry from SRT logs into MP4 videos

Project description

DJI Drone Metadata Embedder

GitHub Release Version PyPI Winget

A Python tool to embed telemetry data from DJI drone SRT files into MP4 video files. This tool extracts GPS coordinates, altitude, camera settings and other telemetry data from SRT files and embeds them as metadata in the corresponding video files.

See the Development Roadmap for plans to expand this CLI tool into a Windows application with a graphical interface. For detailed setup instructions and a quick-start tutorial, see docs/installation.md and docs/user_guide.md. Common problems are covered in docs/troubleshooting.md.

Intended use & scope

This is a tool for transparency and accountability. Drone telemetry is dual-use, and this project deliberately focuses on the open side of that: verifying and documenting footage, georeferencing it for mapping, and making it interoperable with open GIS workflows. The uses we build for include open-source verification and journalism, human-rights and conflict documentation, search-and-rescue and disaster response, humanitarian damage assessment, environmental monitoring, agriculture, and infrastructure inspection.

Feature and documentation decisions favor provenance, verification, georeferencing, and standards interoperability. We do not build targeting or other offensive capabilities.

Easy Windows install

Option 1: Bootstrap Script (Includes FFmpeg/ExifTool)

iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CallMarcus/dji-drone-metadata-embedder/master/tools/bootstrap.ps1 | iex

Option 2: Direct Download

Download the ready-to-run dji-embed.exe from the GitHub Releases page.

Option 3: Windows Package Manager (winget)

winget install CallMarcus.DJIMetadataEmbedder

Already installed? Upgrade with winget upgrade CallMarcus.DJIMetadataEmbedder.

Note: winget installs the portable dji-embed.exe only. Install FFmpeg and ExifTool separately (winget install Gyan.FFmpeg OliverBetz.ExifTool), or use the bootstrap script above, which bundles them.

Option 4: Python Package

pip install dji-drone-metadata-embedder

macOS / Linux quick-start

brew install ffmpeg exiftool
sudo apt update && sudo apt install ffmpeg exiftool
pip install dji-drone-metadata-embedder
docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/data callmarcus/dji-embed -i *.MP4
Advanced
  • Build from source with uv sync --extra dev (or pip install -e .)
  • Use the provided Dockerfile for custom images
  • Review CI scripts under .github/workflows

Features

  • Batch Processing: Process entire directories of DJI drone footage automatically
  • GPS Metadata Embedding: Embed GPS coordinates as standard metadata tags
  • Subtitle Track Preservation: Keep telemetry data as subtitle track for overlay viewing
  • Multiple Format Support: Handles different DJI SRT telemetry formats
  • Telemetry Export: Export flight data to JSON, GPX, CSV, GeoJSON, KML, or CoT (see docs/geospatial.md)
  • Flight Map (experimental): dji-embed flightmap DIR draws every flight in a folder of .SRT logs on one combined HTML map (or KML/GeoJSON) — fast, the videos are never opened; dji-embed convert html FLIGHT.SRT maps a single flight with an altitude-coloured track — see Put your flights and photos on a map
  • Photo Map: dji-embed photomap DIR plots a whole folder of GPS-tagged still photos (JPG/JPEG/DNG) on a single clustered HTML map (or KML/GeoJSON) with EXIF thumbnail popups — requires ExifTool
  • Camera Footprint Polygons: convert geojson/kml … --footprint adds nadir ground-footprint rectangles to GeoJSON/KML output (gimbal-aware on formats that carry attitude; suppressed under --redact). See docs/geospatial.md.
  • CoT Export: dji-embed convert cot FLIGHT.SRT writes Cursor-on-Target XML for ATAK/TAK (route + timed track). See docs/fmv-interop.md.
  • Footage verification: dji-embed verify-sun clip.SRT reports the sun's azimuth/elevation over a clip for shadow cross-checking; CSV export gains datetime_utc / sun_azimuth / sun_elevation columns.
  • DAT Flight Log Support: Merge .DAT flight logs into metadata
  • Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • Progress Bar: See processing status while videos are being embedded

Supported DJI Models

Fully Tested & Documented (with sample fixtures):

  • DJI Mini 3/4 Pro - Square bracket format [latitude: xx.xxx] [longitude: xx.xxx]
  • DJI Mini 5 Pro - HTML-style bracket format with decimal aperture ([fnum: 1.8])
  • DJI Air 3 - HTML-style format with extended telemetry data
  • DJI Air 3S - HTML-style bracket format with decimal focal_len and HLG color mode ([color_md: hlg]); MP4 also carries embedded djmd/dbgi data streams
  • DJI Avata 360 - HTML-style bracket format with stabilization (pp_*) fields; footage ships as .OSV (360 video) + .LRF proxy
  • DJI Neo 2 - HTML-style bracket format with stabilization (pp_*) fields; MP4 also carries embedded djmd/dbgi data streams
  • DJI Avata 2 - Legacy GPS format GPS(lat,lon,alt) with BAROMETER data
  • DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise - Extended format with RTK precision data
  • DJI Matrice 300 (legacy-with-unit) - GPS(lat,lon,alt M) with BAROMETER: colon notation
  • DJI Phantom 4 RTK / P4P (compact single-line) - F/N, SS N, ISO N, EV N, GPS (lat, lon, alt), HOME (...), D, H, H.S, V.S, F.PRY, G.PRY

Community Supported:

  • DJI Air 2S, Mavic 3, and other models using similar SRT formats
  • See troubleshooting guide for model-specific issues

Don't see your model? We're happy to add support in exchange for sample SRT files we can parse the telemetry format from. Open an issue and attach one or two raw .SRT files from your drone (a short clip is plenty), and we'll add a parser for it. See the Contributing Guide for details.

Sidecar-less models (Air 3S, Mini 5 Pro, …): telemetry is read straight from the MP4's embedded djmd/dbgi track via ExifTool — no .SRT needed — for dji-embed convert <fmt> FILE.MP4 and dji-embed verify-sun FILE.MP4. Requires a recent ExifTool (Air 3S ≥ 13.39, Mini 5 Pro ≥ 13.52); see docs/MP4_TIMED_METADATA.md.

Requirements

  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • FFmpeg
  • ExifTool (optional, for additional metadata embedding)

Usage

If the command python is not recognized, use py instead.

Basic Usage

Process a single directory:

dji-embed embed /path/to/drone/footage

Commands

dji-embed [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

Commands:
  embed      Embed telemetry from SRT files into MP4 videos
  validate   Validate SRT/MP4 pairs and report drift
  convert    Convert SRT telemetry to GPX, CSV, GeoJSON, KML, HTML, or CoT
  flightmap  Map every flight in a folder of SRT logs on one combined map
  photomap   Map GPS-tagged still photos to an HTML/KML/GeoJSON map
  check      Check media files for embedded metadata
  doctor     Show system information and verify dependencies
  ui         Launch the local web UI in your browser
  verify-sun Summarise the sun's position over a clip for shadow cross-checking

Global Options:
  --version   Show the version and exit
  -h, --help  Show this message and exit

Web UI (optional)

Prefer a browser over the terminal? Install the [ui] extra and launch the local UI — it runs entirely on 127.0.0.1 and uses your installed browser, so there is no separate signed app to trust.

pip install 'dji-drone-metadata-embedder[ui]'
dji-embed ui                       # opens http://127.0.0.1:<free-port>
dji-embed ui --no-browser          # print the URL instead of opening
dji-embed ui --port 8765           # pin to a fixed port

Every tab (Doctor / Embed / Validate / Convert / Check) is a thin wrapper over the matching CLI command. The Map tab renders a processed clip's flight path on an interactive map (Leaflet + OpenStreetMap) with an altitude profile and a play-the-flight scrubber — only the basemap tiles load from the network; the flight data and all other assets stay local, and redaction is applied server-side so exact coordinates never reach the browser when set. Access is gated by a per-session token that is injected into the opened URL; requests without the token return 403. Chromium-based browsers will offer "Install app" for a standalone window.

Embed Command Options

dji-embed embed [OPTIONS] DIRECTORY

Arguments:
  DIRECTORY          Directory containing MP4 and SRT files

Options:
  -o, --output DIRECTORY     Output directory (ignored if --overwrite)
  --overwrite                Overwrite original video files in place
                             (destination = input folder)
  --exiftool                 Also use ExifTool for GPS metadata
  --dat PATH                 DAT flight log to merge
  --dat-auto                 Auto-detect DAT logs matching videos
  --audio-sidecar            Auto-detect a same-basename .m4a audio sidecar
                             (e.g. DJI Neo 2) and mux it in (no re-encode)
  --redact [none|drop|fuzz]  Redact GPS coordinates (default: none)
  --container [mp4|mkv]      Output container; 'mkv' preserves DJI djmd/dbgi
                             data streams (default: mp4)
  --extract-home             Extract the drone's HOME / launch point into the
                             JSON sidecar. **The HOME point is the operator's
                             launch location**  it is off by default, never
                             written to the MP4, and always honours `--redact`
                             (`drop` removes it, `fuzz` coarsens to ~100 m).
  -v, --verbose              Verbose output
  -q, --quiet                Suppress progress output

By default, processing shows a progress bar for each file. Use --verbose for detailed output or --quiet to reduce messages.

Examples

Process footage with custom output directory:

dji-embed embed "D:\DroneFootage\Flight1" -o "D:\ProcessedVideos"

Process with ExifTool for additional metadata:

dji-embed embed "D:\DroneFootage\Flight1" --exiftool

Check existing metadata in files:

dji-embed check "D:\DroneFootage\Flight1"

Run system diagnostics:

dji-embed doctor

Convert Telemetry to Other Formats

Extract GPS track to GPX:

dji-embed convert gpx DJI_0001.SRT

GPX timestamps are written in UTC. DJI SRT times are local with no timezone, so the offset is auto-detected from the file's modification time. Override it when the mtime is unreliable (e.g. copied files):

dji-embed convert gpx DJI_0001.SRT --tz-offset +05:30

Export telemetry to CSV:

dji-embed convert csv DJI_0001.SRT -o telemetry.csv

Batch convert directory to GPX:

dji-embed convert gpx /path/to/srt/files --batch

Batch convert directory to CSV:

dji-embed convert csv /path/to/srt/files --batch

Put Your Flights and Photos on a Map

Two commands cover the "show me where this was shot" workflows:

One flight → one HTML map. Renders the flight path coloured by altitude, viewable in any browser:

dji-embed convert html DJI_0001.SRT              # -> DJI_0001.html
dji-embed convert html DJI_0042.MP4              # sidecar-less models: read telemetry from the MP4

A folder of flights → one combined map (experimental — feedback welcome!). Reads only the .SRT telemetry sidecars (the videos are never opened, so a whole archive scans in seconds) and draws each flight as its own coloured track with a summary popup and a layer toggle. Recordings that DJI split at the 4 GB file limit are automatically stitched back into one flight:

dji-embed flightmap /path/to/footage             # -> footage/flightmap.html
dji-embed flightmap /path/to/footage -r          # scan subdirectories too
dji-embed flightmap /path/to/footage -f kml      # Google Earth / My Maps instead

Prefer one map per clip? dji-embed convert html /path/to/footage --batch writes a separate .html next to each video.

A folder of still photos → one combined, clustered map with an EXIF thumbnail popup per pin (requires ExifTool):

dji-embed photomap /path/to/photos               # -> photos/photomap.html
dji-embed photomap /path/to/photos -f kml        # Google Earth instead

photomap scans JPG/JPEG/DNG stills; flightmap scans .SRT flight logs. All HTML maps embed your data but load the basemap tiles from the internet, so they need a connection to render — and they reveal your flying locations, so share them deliberately (flightmap --redact fuzz coarsens tracks to ~100 m). Details and more formats (KML, GeoJSON, CoT, camera footprints): docs/geospatial.md.

Check Existing Metadata

You can check if your videos or photos already contain GPS or altitude information using the check command:

dji-embed check DJI_0001.MP4
dji-embed check /path/to/footage

check uses ffprobe for QuickTime tags and exiftool for EXIF data when available. Pass --verbose for debug output or --quiet to only show warnings and errors.

  -b, --batch                Batch process directory
  --tz-offset OFFSET         UTC offset for GPX/CoT timestamps, e.g. '+05:30' or
                             '-8' ('auto' detects from file mtime; default: auto)
  --redact [none|drop|fuzz]  GPS redaction (default: none), applied to the track
                             in every format: drop removes the track (or blanks
                             the GPS+sun columns in csv, rows kept); fuzz
                             coarsens to ~100 m. HOME marker redacted the same way

                             default; subject to --redact
  -v, --verbose              Verbose output
  -q, --quiet                Suppress info output

HTML map example — produces a self-contained flight.html you can open in any browser:

dji-embed convert html DJI_0001.SRT              # -> DJI_0001.html
dji-embed convert html DJI_0001.SRT -o flight.html
dji-embed convert html /path/to/footage --batch  # one map per clip (not combined)

CoT (Cursor-on-Target) example — for ATAK/TAK; see docs/fmv-interop.md:

dji-embed convert cot DJI_0001.SRT                       # -> DJI_0001.cot.xml
dji-embed convert cot DJI_0001.SRT --interval 2 --cot-type a-u-A

Leaflet and the basemap tiles load from the internet; the flight data itself is embedded, so the file is portable but needs a connection to render the map.

Camera footprint example — overlay per-interval ground-coverage polygons in GeoJSON/KML for down-looking footage (suppressed under --redact; see docs/geospatial.md):

dji-embed convert geojson DJI_0001.SRT --footprint --model air3
dji-embed convert kml DJI_0001.SRT --footprint --footprint-interval 5

dji-embed flightmap - Combined Flight Map (experimental)

Map every flight in a folder of DJI .SRT logs on one combined map.

Experimental: flightmap is new and its size-split joining heuristics may still be tuned based on real-world feedback. If it joins flights it shouldn't (or misses ones it should), please open an issue with the SRT file names and timestamps.

dji-embed flightmap [OPTIONS] DIRECTORY

Arguments:
  DIRECTORY                       Directory containing .SRT flight logs

Options:
  -o, --output FILE               Output file; used as the base name when
                                  --format all
  -f, --format [html|kml|geojson|all]
                                  Map output format (default: html)
  -r, --recursive                 Scan subdirectories too
  --title TEXT                    Map title (default: directory name)
  --redact [none|fuzz]            GPS redaction: fuzz coarsens every flight to
                                  ~100 m before writing (default: none)
  --join-gap SECONDS              Chain size-split recordings (DJI starts a new
                                  file at the 4 GB limit) into one flight when
                                  the next file's telemetry starts within
                                  SECONDS and resumes where the previous file
                                  ended. 0 disables joining (default: 15.0)
  --tz-offset OFFSET              UTC offset of the SRT timestamps, e.g.
                                  '+05:30' or '-8'. 'auto' detects it from each
                                  file's mtime; pass it explicitly when the
                                  files were copied through zip/cloud transfers
                                  that rewrote the mtimes (default: auto)
  -v, --verbose                   Verbose output
  -q, --quiet                     Suppress info output

Reads only the .SRT telemetry sidecars — the videos are never opened and no external tool is needed — so scanning a large archive is fast. Each flight becomes its own coloured track with a popup (start time, duration, altitude range, GPS points) and a layer toggle; the KML imports into Google Earth and Google My Maps as one line per flight. SRT files without GPS telemetry (e.g. ordinary subtitles) are skipped and counted in a summary; -v lists them.

dji-embed flightmap /path/to/footage                        # -> footage/flightmap.html
dji-embed flightmap /path/to/footage -f all                 # -> footage/flightmap.{html,kml,geojson}
dji-embed flightmap /path/to/footage -r --title "Road trip" # recurse + custom title

Notes:

  • With -r, flights are labelled by their path relative to DIRECTORY (session1/DJI_0001), so per-session folders that reuse DJI's restarting file numbering stay distinct.
  • Long recordings that DJI split at the 4 GB file limit are stitched back into one flight when the next file's telemetry continues (in time and position) where the previous one ended — measured on the SRT's own timestamps, so it survives copied files with rewritten mtimes. The popup lists the joined files; tune or disable with --join-gap.
  • Tracks are thinned to ~1 GPS point per second for the map (DJI logs ~30 per second) — visually identical but far smaller files; use dji-embed convert on a single flight when you need every sample.
  • Popup start times are converted to UTC using each file's mtime. On archives whose mtimes were rewritten (zip/cloud transfers) the tool warns once and falls back to the mtime; pass --tz-offset with your recording timezone to get correct absolute times. Joining itself is unaffected either way.
  • Sidecar-less models whose telemetry lives inside the MP4 (Air 3S, Mini 5 Pro, …) are not scanned; map those per clip with dji-embed convert html VIDEO.MP4.
  • Leaflet and the OpenStreetMap basemap tiles load from the internet; the flight data itself is embedded, so the HTML file is portable but needs a connection to render. A flight map publishes where you fly — share it deliberately, or use --redact fuzz.

dji-embed photomap - Map Still Photos

Map GPS-tagged still photos (JPG/JPEG/DNG) as an HTML, KML, or GeoJSON map.

dji-embed photomap [OPTIONS] DIRECTORY

Arguments:
  DIRECTORY                       Directory containing JPG/JPEG/DNG photos

Options:
  -o, --output FILE               Output file; used as the base name when
                                  --format all
  -f, --format [html|kml|geojson|all]
                                  Map output format (default: html)
  -r, --recursive                 Scan subdirectories too
  --title TEXT                    Map title (default: directory name)
  -v, --verbose                   Verbose output
  -q, --quiet                     Suppress info output

Requires ExifTool (dji-embed doctor checks it). Photos without GPS data are skipped and counted in a summary; -v lists the skipped filenames.

Notes:

  • With -r, pins are labelled by their path relative to DIRECTORY, so per-session folders that reuse DJI's restarting DJI_0001.JPG names stay distinct on the map.
  • Popup previews use the small EXIF thumbnail, falling back to a size-capped embedded preview for DNGs that carry no thumbnail.
  • Photos with no EXIF altitude are clamped to the ground in KML (Google Earth) instead of being buried at 0 m below terrain.
dji-embed photomap /path/to/photos                                    # -> photos/photomap.html
dji-embed photomap /path/to/photos -f all                             # -> photos/photomap.{html,kml,geojson}
dji-embed photomap /path/to/photos -r --title "Churches of Finland"   # recurse + custom title

Leaflet and the OpenStreetMap basemap tiles load from the internet; the photo thumbnails themselves are embedded, so the HTML file is portable but needs a connection to render the map. A photo map publishes your shooting locations — share it deliberately.

dji-embed doctor - System Diagnostics

Show system information and verify all dependencies.

dji-embed doctor

No arguments or options required.

dji-embed doctor --install exiftool downloads a pinned, checksum-verified ExifTool into your user directory — useful where system packages are too old for MP4 timed metadata (most Linux distros).

dji-embed wizard - Interactive Setup

Launch interactive setup wizard (under development).

dji-embed wizard

No arguments or options required.

Output

The tool creates a processed subdirectory containing:

  • *_metadata.MP4 - Video files with embedded metadata and telemetry subtitles
  • *_telemetry.json - Flight summary with GPS data, altitude, and camera settings

How It Works

  1. SRT Parsing: Extracts telemetry data from DJI SRT subtitle files
  2. Metadata Embedding: Uses FFmpeg to:
    • Add SRT as subtitle track (preserves all telemetry)
    • Embed GPS coordinates in video metadata
    • Add altitude and other metadata tags
  3. No Re-encoding: Uses stream copy for fast processing without quality loss
  4. Summary Generation: Creates JSON files with flight statistics

SRT Format Support

The tool supports multiple DJI SRT formats:

Format 1 (DJI Mini 3 Pro):

[latitude: 59.302335] [longitude: 18.203059] [rel_alt: 1.300 abs_alt: 132.860]

Format 2 (Older models):

GPS(59.302335,18.203059,132.860)

Use Cases

  • Photo Management: Videos become searchable by location in Windows Photos, Google Photos, etc.
  • Video Editing: Telemetry subtitle track can be used for overlay effects
  • Flight Analysis: Export GPX tracks for Google Earth visualization
  • Archival: Preserve all flight data within the video file itself

Troubleshooting

See docs/troubleshooting.md for comprehensive troubleshooting.

Check tool versions

Display the application, FFmpeg and ExifTool versions:

dji-embed --version

Quick Fixes

"Python was not found"

Use py instead of python:

dji-embed doctor

"ffmpeg is not recognized"

Ensure FFmpeg is in your PATH. Test with:

ffmpeg -version

Note: ffmpeg uses a single dash. Using ffmpeg --version will result in Unrecognized option '--version'.

"Command not found: dji-embed"

If the command isn't found after installation:

python -m pip install --user dji-drone-metadata-embedder
# or
pipx install dji-drone-metadata-embedder

No GPS data in JSON output

  1. Check that your SRT files contain GPS coordinates:
    dji-embed check /path/to/your/files
    
  2. Open an SRT file in a text editor to verify the format
  3. Run diagnostics to check for parsing issues:
    dji-embed doctor
    

Processing fails with "No matching MP4/SRT pairs"

Ensure your files follow the naming convention:

  • Video: DJI_0001.MP4
  • Subtitle: DJI_0001.SRT

Permission errors on Windows

Run PowerShell as Administrator or use the bootstrap installer:

iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CallMarcus/dji-drone-metadata-embedder/master/tools/bootstrap.ps1 | iex

Adding Support for New Models

If your DJI model uses a different SRT format, we're happy to add support in exchange for sample SRT files we can parse the telemetry format from:

  1. Open an issue and attach one or two raw .SRT files from your drone (a short clip is plenty) — we'll add a parser for it
  2. Or submit a PR with regex patterns for the new format

Release

See docs/RELEASE.md for instructions on publishing a new version.
