This file name now matches the associated [README](https://github.com/owntracks/recorder/blob/master/contrib/gpx-to-rec/README.md) so that the instructions execute properly.
gpx-to-rec.py
This script attempts to convert the specified gpx files into rec files to be used with recorder.
Installation
gpx-to-rec.py depends on gpxpy which you can install with pip:
pip install gpxpy
Usage
The script takes one or more .gpx files as arguments and creates .rec files in the current working directory.
Example:
python3 gpx-to-rec.py my_track.gpx [my_other_track.gpx ...]
You can then copy those .rec files to recorder's storage location for the corresponding user and device. By default it's in /var/spool/owntracks/recorder/store/rec/<username>/<device>.
Make sure to change <username> and <device> to your usecase.
After copying the files over, make sure that recorder has permissions to write to them:
sudo chown owntracks:owntracks /var/spool/owntracks/recorder/store/rec/<username>/<device>/*
Again, edit the command for your usecase. In my case, recorder uses a separate user named owntracks, which is why I needed to change the owner.
And there you have it. Now every point from your gpx file should be displayed on, for example, frontend.
