After upgraded software Tapo (v3.0.503) the file names no longer contains the time and date. 

 

Before: "2023-09-05.16-25-28.952.8f241b40-efa1-4f32-8302-d2673f9b0723.1920-1080.10471.mp4"

 

Now: "802180A8C0F3380724B17218AADDCC581F3184E8-0ca45c03-0c22-4ff2-b173-a6deef5ccf78.mp4"

 

This is very annoying because I archive some of the files and now I have to rename them by hand.

 

Is there something I have missed and can do in the preferences?

If not, please correct this in an update.

  @Fris The developers have chosen to use the UNIX time format as the file name.  You can convert it to a better format by searching the Internet for "convert UNIX timestamps using Excel".   I was not allowed to post the link here.

Hi, 
Thank you very much for your feedback. 
The file name of the cloud video clips has changed on the Tapo app(v3.0.503), and I forwarded your inquiry to the related team to evaluate to update the file name containing the time and date. 


I moved this conversation into the ‘Feature Request (Tapo)' area for better visibility, and if other users have the same request, please vote on this thread or leave your comments.


Best Regards

It's the UNIX time format and ai doubt the developers will change back. It's the number of seconds since January 1970 ar midnight GMT. Best, Aeb1964
