QtMultimedia 5.8 Does not record on Raspberry - Stretch

SGaist

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Do you have the GStreamer plugins packages installed ?

andy0206

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Yes gstreamer 1.0 is installed.

SGaist

Can you do the recording from GStreamer directly successfully ?

andy0206

Hi Thanks, again for your rapid response.
Yes I can using:

gst-launch-1.0  --gst-debug-level=3   -v   v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! capsfilter caps="video/x-raw, width=648,height=480,framerate=30/1" ! queue ! videoconvert ! videorate ! queue ! omxh264enc ! queue ! avimux ! filesink location = test_video.mp4

SGaist

Same user as when you run your Qt application ?

andy0206

@SGaist yes

SGaist

Something is not clear, are you using Qt 5.8 or 5.10 ?

andy0206

Hi,

So I'm using Qt 5.10.1

With these imports in QML

import QtQuick 2.10
import QtMultimedia 5.8
import DataModelTypes 1.0

If I use import QtMultimedia 5.10, it builds, however it appears to not be installed on the Rpi qrc:/FPV.qml:2 module "QtMultimedia" version 5.10 is not installed, and thus the app crashes.

The QML numbering might not reflect the Qt release you are using.

One thing that comes to mind is that the pipeline generated in the GStreamer backend does not handle the camera as well as the one you are using on the command line.

Hmm, need to have a think on if I can do a work around. I need to be able to see the camera and record. Thanks for your help.

One possible thing to do is rebuild the backend (and just the backend not the whole of Qt)
