Hello all,
is the bpi camera able to capture video stream? With which image and which kernel? I have tried with several images from the wiki (raspbian/4.4, raspbian/3.4,ubuntu/5.3.5, Armbian/3.4). I am now at Ubuntu server 16.04 kernel 4.4.
With fswebcam I only get single frames, not video.
Gstreamer is not working and I am uncertain whether it needs a patch for the capabilities(software) or it is the camera interface that is not fully supported as I read in the forum.
For
‘gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw,format=YUY2,width=1280,height=720 ! fakesink dump=1’
it returns:
‘Call to S_FMT failed for YUYV @ 1280x720: Operation not permitted’
If anyone has achieved video stream, at least let me know that it is possible.
Thank you.
On armbian/3.4 you can use guvcview or mjpg streamer. If you have the ov5640 available in 4.4 I think it should work as well.
For kernel 5.x you need to make some settings (configure capture options) before you use the sensor in a v4l2 application (v4l2-ctl, ffmpeg, mjpg streamer).
Hello,
thanks for the quick reply. I cannot yet take video from the camera, perhaps I am missing something obvious?
mjpg_streamer in Ubuntu 4.4 always hangs in uninterrupted sleep, I cannot kill it. I didn’t get any capture file, with this command and variations:
