For some reason RaspiStill has lost some of its functionality. When I tried to use the -tl argument it doesn't produce any photos and seems to hang up.

The full command I am running is:

raspistill -rot 180 -q 80  -w 1920 -h 1080 -t 300000 -tl 999999   -o /media/64GB/www/timelapse/timelapse_%d.jpg

I am able to take photos without the -tl I have tried adjusting the amount tl is, I have also tried adding the -n flag.

For example:

raspistill -rot 180 -q 82 -w 1920 -h 1080 -n -t 120000 -tl 999999 -o /media/64GB/www/timelapse/photo_%d.jpg

Any suggestions?

The -tl timelapse option says to take a picture every <t> milliseconds. By using 999999 you're specifying to take a picture every ~999 seconds. Try using a smaller number such as 1000 to take a picture every second.

I do know that there are issues that cause the camera to hang such as specifying a very-long exposure, see https://github.com/raspberrypi/userland/issues/33 for more details on that issue.
