Pompey Paul Nov 2017 7:48pm, 10 Nov 2017 5,582 posts	Quote Pin Pompey Paul It worked easy for me, no settings changed on my Garmin, I just linked my Garmin Connect account to Relive like you do with Fetch to allow Fetch to pull your data
LazyDaisy Nov 2017 7:50pm, 10 Nov 2017 20,349 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy Yes I've used it several times, and didn't change any settings on anything. You do have to ask to have a video made, I think, Girlie, might that be the problem? I think it's quite cool.

FergusG Nov 2017 8:20pm, 10 Nov 2017 1,864 posts	Quote Pin FergusG Did you change your privacy settings before your run, or after the event Girlie? I think it can only handle runs as they’re uploaded, and can’t handle changes afterwards. For what it’s worth, mine is granted access to my ~~strava~~ account (which happens to be fed from my Garmin account) and works fine. It’s a bit crap that you need to keep the email messages to see the url for each video, as you can’t login and see a list of your videos.
Girlie Nov 2017 8:42pm, 10 Nov 2017 10,798 posts	Quote Pin Girlie LD- There was no instruction or prompt to ask for a video to be made, I'll have another go from the pc at some point.
Mark Beech Nov 2017 9:17pm, 10 Nov 2017 42 posts	Quote Pin Mark Beech Mine is linked to my ~~strava~~ it will only make a video for fresh public activities that are uploaded after you set it up. And in my experience it can only handle two activities per day. There are plenty of people moaning on reddit that you can't select runs to be turned into videos, but they claim that is a design fusion to make it simpler to use. If you pay £8/month you get some more features and the ability to add a soundtrack, which sounds cool, but personally think that is far to expensive. Another problem with it is that they only give you 30 minutes from uploading the run to thinking up a witty title. Here is my latest long run: relive.cc
Bintmcskint Nov 2017 9:21pm, 10 Nov 2017 38,336 posts	Quote Pin Bintmcskint I like that run. I liked the way the "camera" kind of panned round (and that you did an extra twiddly bit at the end) Don't think I'd want to pay for it. I just thought it was a cool little extra thing.
Girlie Nov 2017 9:27pm, 10 Nov 2017 10,799 posts	Quote Pin Girlie Fergus, I did wonder that, so at that time, I deleted the app, changed the settings and re-installed it, hoping the next time I ran it would work. I was wrong, it never picked up anything following the changes. Shame as it would have been nice to have the film route of Rotterdam and/or Birmingham marathons.
Mark Beech Nov 2017 9:46pm, 10 Nov 2017 43 posts	Quote Pin Mark Beech It is a cool toy, and it does even have occasional practical uses. Somewhere on Facebook folks have been collecting relive videos of different parkrun courses, and for some of them they make much more sense than the maps of the courses. I've also found them useful for documenting group runs, as they change slightly from week to week and a flat map it would show confusing overlapping such as this relive.cc It would be nice if relive just had an option to upload a gpx, or we can wait to see what Fetch builds to compete with them?
