Failed to ls: couldn't list directory:

[xguntis (Guntis Endzelis)]

Trying to list files in Google drive. It has many many files - 2.4gb

issuing command rclone ls google: it lists files for quite a time and then stops with the message:

Failed to ls: couldn't list directory: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go struct field FileImageMediaMetadataLocation.altitude of type float64

Will it affect how it copies the files? Is it a problem with file? which one? how to find it?

Best to use the question template:

• What version of rclone are you running?
• Can you run the same command with -vv on it? You can also add --fast-list to speed it up

and share the output.

hi,
rclone v1.36 is over two years old,
please update to v1.51.0 and test again.

Thanks a lot. This fixed it. And works much faster!
