HeuDiConv unable to unpack Phillips scanner data

Hi experts, I tried to unpack some Phillips scanner functional data using HeuDiConv and am getting the following error:

In the DICOM folder, there is only one dicom image 0501100704_ser201_acq02_img00001.dcm. I used dcm2niix to unpack this dicom and am able to successfully obtain a 4D nii file, along with a .json. So not sure what is happening here.

Here’s the HeuDiConv command I used. The reason I think it is a Phillips scanner issue is because I tried the same command on test dicoms from Siemens and GE and they seem to work.

IMAGE=$dir/heudiconv.simg
singularity exec --bind '$dir:$dir' $IMAGE \
/neurodocker/startup.sh heudiconv \
-d '$dir/all_dicoms/{subject}/*/DICOM/*.dcm' \
-s $(cat $dir/all_dicoms/subject-list.txt | tr '\n' ' ') \
-f convertall \
-c none \
-o $dir/BIDS

@imawla Were you able to resolve this issue? (I am having the same problem using heudiconv with Phillips .dcm files; I have successfully converted Siemens .IMA using heudiconv and also successfully used dcm2niix separately on the Phillips data)
