Hi,

I want to view a cam on armhf. To do so, I first export GSCAM_CONFIG="v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! video/x-raw-rgb,width=640,height=480,framerate=24/1 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! identity name=ros ! fakesink". This is tested using gst-launch with xvimagesink and it works. However, after the export, rosrun gscam gscam fails with "bool gscam::GSCam::init_stream(): assertion failed: (outpad) Aborted (core dumped)". I tried replacing and leaving out xvimagesink, changing the resolution, framerate but it still doesn't work. Any clues ?

Addition: ERROR:/tmp/buildd/ros-groovy-gscam-0.1.1-0precise-20140131-0203/src/gscam.cpp:131:bool gscam::GSCam::init_stream(): assertion failed: (outpad)

Hi, I also have the same problem but I use this GSCAM_CONFIG="v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! video/x-raw-yuv,format=(fourcc)YUY2,width=320,height=240 ! xvimagesink".

By change, could you solved it? My goal is get the image in yuv2 format

Thanks

Hi, I'm not using the gscam driver anymore. On recommendation I've changed both ROS version (to Hydro) and cam driver (to uvc_camera). This works.

Thanks for your recommendation. Could you give me a launch file parameters to configure yuv2 format to run uvc_camera node? Thanks

Sorry, can't help you with that since I'm not using yuv2.

Ok Thanks for your time

No problem.

Why do you need YUV2? I'm not sure the image topic will be in yuv format even if the camera is, and you can always do the colorspace conversion in your subscriber if you want to do image processing in yuv2.

Thanks for your reply. I use YUV2 because my vision artificial algorithm uses this colorspace. So, if I can save this time, the algorithm is faster
