open-remote-file

Its important to note that the "Remote file" option it's only viable to open a single link to a file.

If you intend to open more than one .mcap file via URL you'll need to change the URL manually, you can check how to do it on this page of our documentation.

Local Data

You can load local files for visualization by:

  • The "Open local file(s)..." in the initial pop up or the menu on the top left;
  • You can drag'n drop the files from your OS file manager;

When dealing with multiple files, Lichtblick will merge them into a single playback timeline. It's important that they all come from the same data source to avoid potencial data loss or erros during playtime.
