Looks like you're running it on an S5? Good to know it works on that too.
If you're interested I made a fork of this code with a few small improvements. Still a WIP but feedback is welcome.
I am running it on an S3! and yes it works as well.
Oh sure, could you send me the code? I will try it 😃

Out of curiosity, how did you get it to work in the end?
1) The script is running on your PC and listening for the host (your UM3), so yes your PC will need to be on. You could set it up on an external device (e.g. a pi) if you wanted. You would have to install ffmpeg first.
2) Your argument when you run the script will determine where the outfile is saved to. So if you're in a command prompt window, it will save the to the current working directory, unless you specified an absolute path. Looking at your example above it would be:
C:\Users\HP_Demo\Desktop\xc.mp4
Hope this helps.
Thanks maht!
Somehow I believe my python's "PATH" was not mapped so it could not understand my commands. So I tried to map it and it could work after that.
Below is a short video of the timelapse test I did!
Again, thanks for all the help! 😁

I managed to get it running on Python 3.8 and am printing now. Thanks for the help!
I have 2 more questions:
1) Must the PC be on during the whole duration of the printing?
2) Where will the mp4 file be saved at? I presume desktop if I placed everything on desktop?
Thanks in advance! 🙂
