Camera crashed, after power cycle no more H264

[devianceluka]

So I have latest fw with original Xiaomi Dafang and USB ethernet which was working flawlessly for years now. After crash yesterday (maybe happens once in 6months), I power cycled and now I have only JPEG, instead of usual H264.

I tried:

1. rebooting
2. changing CODEC
3. changing FORMAT

Its always JPEG in Tinycam, no matter what setting. What else could I try? Did hardware go haywire before crashing?

probably filesystem is readonly.
format the sdcard and put a fresh folder from git

After reading your comment, I decided to try 'force full update' (before formatting and starting all over again) and that solved it.

So I guess you were kind of right? Its a little hard to maybe accept from my point of view, because the card is a Samsung Pro Endurance, and I never recorded or anything, its just sitting there and being a ROM? Whatever its solved, I guess it was atleast a corruption on the filesystem somewhere and I also believe all my settings are intact, thanks !

Its not really that the card is written through but more that the file system may be in a bad state after a power outage. If a force update fixed it the file system must have still been writable.
