Running on raspberry pi3?

wociscz opened this issue a year ago · comments

Hi, in the doc there is info installing it on rpi4. Tried to install it on rpi3b. Everything went ok, I am able to capture still or video with libcamera-jpeg and libcamera-vid.
When I run raspicam, I'm getting only black rectangle even tho camera is properly initialized. Is it known to not working on previous rpis?

output:

Ok, my bad. When I try to switch to mjpeg stream it works without any problem.

Hey @wociscz

h264 should work as well. What OS do you use? Mac have a problem with jmuxer because of the media source extension. You could try to switch the h264 player from jmuxer to broadway in the expander.

Can you also check the console output for errors in your browser? In most browsers you can open the developer tools using F12.

as per doc - raspberry os lite, fully upgraded.

Sorry i ment your os and the browser you access your raspberry pi. The h264 player runs in the browser.

Linux mint (ubuntu22 based) Firefox 109-01

Weird. It is working now with h264 stream also (after reboot). But choppy/blocky for 1080p. Ok for 720p. Seems rpi3b is not powerful enough. Don't mind this issue. Thanks.

Just to confirm, Firefox is kinda weird with raspicam. Sometimes it works, sometime don't (but without any errors in dev tools). Chromium and Chrome works like a charm all the time.

Thanks for testing. I'll try it out!
