QT 5.4.0 Camera not working on BeagleBone Black
-
Hi all,
I'm trying to get a camera application running on the BeagleBone Black with Qt 5.4.0 and gstreamer-0.10.36. I have done some troubleshooting and I have isolated the error down to Qt identifying the available cameras on the board.
QList<QCameraInfo> cameras = QCameraInfo::availableCameras(); foreach (const QCameraInfo &cameraInfo, cameras) qDebug() << cameraInfo.deviceName();
When I run this I get the following error:
beaglebone:~# ./demo-camera -platform linuxfb ** (demo-camera:279): CRITICAL **: gst_photography_set_focus_mode: assertion 'photo != NULL' failed
Now I have validated that the camera works with gstreamer and I can setup a pipeline to the screen to see a good video feed:
beaglebone:~# gst-launch-0.10 -e v4l2src ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=320,height=240 ! fbdevsink
Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this
gst_photography_set_focus_mode
error?Thanks

Hi
last year I encountered the same problem.
Can you verify on which /dev your camera is?
I assume that it is /dev/video1.In the source of multimedia backends gstreamer you can see that the programmed it fix to /dev/video0.
This is one of the deepest and darkest places of the qt code. :-)
It is Nokia legacy code which finally was rewritten to support gstreamer 1.x with Qt5.5Maybe you can test it with Qt5.5 alpha and gstreamer 1.x
Best regards
