I’m on 2019.5.15 that enables Sentry mode, I tried it last night and all but the right camera seem to record. I see files on the USB from the right repeater but all the files from right cam is zero bytes. Autopilot appears to be working fine. Anyone having the same issue?

You're wrong.
2019.5 enabled sentry mode with 3 camera recording (front and side repeaters). The dashcam function also has three cameras now as well. (it was possibly 2019.4 but very few people received that version.)
I am having similar issues with the right repeater. Some times it records ok, sometimes the bottom doesn't have a picture and sometimes it has nothing. Doesn't seem to be an issue while driving, just for sentry mode.

That describes exactly what I am seeing. I notified the Tesla Regional Tech Support rep. that I have been working with before my upcoming appointment and he notified me there are NO errors in my cars system. This may be a bug in the system if others are seeing the exact same behavior.

What USB flashdrive are you using? I've seen some zero files in my folders on occasion. I have a left repeater issue. I started taking notes on my phone for exactly the time and what I was doing with the car to later compare to my files to see if I could pinpoint when the issues occured. like does turning off Sentry Mode affect the recording? Does opening the car door before completely awake? When files get recorded while using just TeslaCam while driving, if not mistaken, I think they get moved out of the buffer and instead appear as a SavedClip. Seem to recall seeing a time gap in the SavedRecent and explained it that way. Sometimes noticed zero file about that time.
I had the same problem with the right repeater video files. They are all 0 bytes long. The left repeater often had the lower half of the video corrupted. The front camera is fine. This is running 2019.8.5.
I deleted all of the video files on the thumb-drive, and put it back in the car. I'll see if it will continue happening.

If it's all of us, it's an issue we don't need to concern ourselves with. Just wait for the next update.

With apologies for posting in Model 3 forum, my MS on 2019.8.5 has the same behavior. In my case front camera records well, right repeater usually records well but sometimes is severely pixelated on the lower third of the field. My left repeater manages to record 20 to 30% of the time, its remaining files are unreadable. No impact on AP. Sure seems like we are all experiencing the same issues. Hopefully Randy is right and this will be corrected in an upcoming update.
Same here also. I'd say only the front camera works reasonably well (image is always quite dark-ish).
Right repeater often has 0 byte files. Left repeater has much pixelation and lower half is often badly corrupted. Also see what seems to be 'bright flashes' - a part of the image that is badly pixelated is bright purple as if it is a bright ray of IR/UV light. In general it is useless and I have already had a couple of incidents where it would have been useful but provided nothing but crap.... (frozen image, yerky, missed the 'action', corrupted)
When driving in AP the system 'works' most of the time (albeit lane-changes often fail) but I do see a lot of 'phantom cars/trucks' or verhicles moving around the screen in a very yerky motion. Sometimes I overtake a truck and it will seemingly start jumping forwards again and 'overtake' me.
Little faith in the system anymore anyway....

I received a reply from Service saying that dropouts or missing camera files from my right-repeater were a known bug, and they had me soft and hard reset to attempt to correct until a fix is available. I believe, however, that the problem is that encoding views from three cameras is just more than the current computer can handle. I expect a fix may not be available until HW3 (FSD computer) comes out, and then only for FSD owners.
On the one hand I can agree with what you're saying.... on the other hand I'm seeing crisp, near perfect videos online from Sentry mode recordings that seem fine (and better quality than I've ever gotten out of my car). So results seem to vary?
