    Hi,
    I am using debian 10, Qt creator 4.8.2 based on qt 5.11.3

    While trying to build the code, The Application output is showing an error message,
    Unable to query the parameter info : "Inappropriate ioctl for device"
    Unable to query the parameter info : "Inappropriate ioctl for device"
    Unable to query the parameter info : "Inappropriate ioctl for device"
    Camerabin ERROR: "Failed to allocate memory"

    When i tried to record some video with Gstreamer commands the camera worked fine.
    Any idea how to solve this error?

    Thanks

      Hi,

      What device is that ?
      What GStreamer pipeline did you use ?

        I am using ov5645 camera module and i tried in USB camera also. Both are showing the same error.

        Sorry i didnt understand what you mean by "what Gstreamer pipeline did you use" .
        Did you mean the command I used ??

        gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/videoX ! 'video/x-raw,format=UYVY,width=1920,height=1080' ! glimagesink

        I used the camera example program from this link https://github.com/qt/qtmultimedia.git .

          That's what I was asking.

          One thing you can try is to modify the pipeline from the GStreamer backend to use the same source as your command line version.

              Edit the files from the camera GStreamer plugin in Qt's sources and then rebuild it.

                @tech-hi said in Qt Camera example not working:

                gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/videoX ! 'video/x-raw,format=UYVY,width=1920,height=1080' ! glimagesink

                Does it work?

                What device do you use? Or is it desktop?

                you can run with GST_DEBUG=4 ./app
                and see gst errors, memory related?
                Can you see camera output in camera example?
