Strava exported .tcx activity upload not working

M over 4 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to sync my historic strava activities to Garming Connect using the data importer. It's uploading my .gpx data files, but the .tcx it won't ingest them. Is this a known limitation? How can I sync my activities?

I had the same problem. I didn't want to install MS Access to use the Fit File Repair tool, so I wrote a small python script to open all tcx files and remove the leading spaces. Can't seem to insert the code here...let me know if you want to have script or even better know a way how to share it here. Do note that I'm no python developer :-)

Hey! Found this post and maybe you know how to help me? Trying to upload a .tcx file of an indoor cycling activity to GC, after exporting it from Strava. Won't work and it drives me nuts. Any tips?

I use Fit File Repair Tool for most of these types of tasks. If you could zip then insert into this post the problematic tcx file, we could have a look.

Thanks, I didn't even expect a reply, let alone this fast. But... in the meantime I've been playing File Repair Tool myself, opened the file in texteditor en removed all spaces... BINGO . So thanks, but solved already. Absolutely because of this stream because I saw these comments about corrupted files and spaces added...
