updated Debian, restarted it (for other reasons) and now my video feed is no longer working.
I tried reinstalling crowsnest (via kiauh, make update etc) but i get the following compile errors.

#

updated Debian
Explain what exactly you did there

fading viper May 2, 2025, 9:05 AM

#

sudo apt update und sudo apt upgrade

#

it installed libcamera0.5

shell wren May 2, 2025, 9:05 AM

#

you mean supo apt upgrade and not sudo apt install

fading viper May 2, 2025, 9:05 AM

#

yes, sorry

shell wren May 2, 2025, 9:06 AM

#

Gonna test it now

#

There are quite some warnings during your building process

fading viper May 2, 2025, 9:07 AM

#

deprecation warnings

shell wren May 2, 2025, 9:07 AM

#

Sadly the camera-streamer dev doesn't respond lately, so it's possible that we might have to drop it, if it makes problems with bookworm now

#

Yep, and those should get solved

#

It's possible that they get remove with trixie

fading viper May 2, 2025, 9:07 AM

#

but the warnings regarding deprecation is not new

shell wren May 2, 2025, 9:07 AM

#

it's not?

fading viper May 2, 2025, 9:07 AM

#

no

#

the errors above are

shell wren May 2, 2025, 9:08 AM

#

I can't remember them ^^

fading viper May 2, 2025, 9:08 AM

#

the errors prevent compilation

shell wren May 2, 2025, 9:09 AM

#

warnings can prevent them too, I don't know the compiler flags out of my head right now

fading viper May 2, 2025, 9:09 AM

#

but without camera-streamer, crowsnest seems to not startup

shell wren May 2, 2025, 9:09 AM

#

Yes, that's kinda intended, but a really bad design choice

fading viper May 2, 2025, 9:09 AM

#

at least the last word in the log was "Exiting" 😄

shell wren May 2, 2025, 9:10 AM

#

It's weird, that they don't mention any deprecation of the parameters in the releases:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/libcamera/releases

fading viper May 2, 2025, 9:10 AM

#

you mean stuff like the AeState?

shell wren May 2, 2025, 9:10 AM

#

yes

fading viper May 2, 2025, 9:12 AM

#

camera-streamer is sadly the only mode which gives any kind of fps and not spf with the C920

shell wren May 2, 2025, 9:13 AM

#

Why does it try to compile it for you in the first place? I would expect an exit before compilation as you can see on my screenshot

fading viper May 2, 2025, 9:13 AM

#

that is indeed a good question

#

are you on the master branch of crowsnest?

shell wren May 2, 2025, 9:14 AM

#

Doesn't matter

#

I'm pulling the camera-streamer branch

#

I didn't change anything on the installation for quite some time

#

It's also a mainsailos release candidate, built 7 days ago ^^

#

So yes, I'm on the master branch with latest commits

fading viper May 2, 2025, 9:16 AM

#

our next line after the error differs

shell wren May 2, 2025, 9:16 AM

#

I run make update, but that shouldn't change anything

fading viper May 2, 2025, 9:16 AM

#

mine is
[ -e third_party/libdatachannel/build/Makefile ] || cmake -S third_party/libdatachannel -B third_party/libdatachannel/build

#

yours g++

#

but since you have the same errors, the followup lines don't matter

shell wren May 2, 2025, 9:17 AM

#

I check again with a clean environment

#

Nope, still stopping the compilation for me 🤷‍♂️

#

Anyway, it seems like aestate is no longer a draft control but a real control now. So the fix should hopefully be quite easy

#

(for that one error)

#

Are you a c++ programmer by any chance and got time to look into this? ^^
I have some more important things to do first, before I can fix this

#

The branch would be this one: https://github.com/mryel00/camera-streamer
The original camera-streamer repo doesn't compile anymore: https://github.com/ayufan/camera-streamer/pull/160

fading viper May 2, 2025, 9:28 AM

#

so you need me to change a string in the make file?

shell wren May 2, 2025, 9:36 AM

#

nope, I need you to fix the compilation errors using my branch

#

I just added the information that it's currently not the camera-streamer main branch, as it's broken since Octobre

#

If you cannot/don't want to fix the errors, then you can download the release candidate for mainsailos: https://github.com/meteyou/MainsailOS-dev/actions/runs/14679470794
It got a working crowsnest installation, as long as you don't update system packages

fading viper May 2, 2025, 9:54 AM

#

that was quite an easy fix, at least compilationwise

#

want a PR to your repo with the fix? its one line change

shell wren May 2, 2025, 10:11 AM

#

Would be awesome. I might adjust it to be backwards compatible, if it isn't already. Thank you mainsail_heart

fading viper May 2, 2025, 10:48 AM

#

tried multiple times, but no chance. I am no expert in Git with multiple channels in a single repo referencing to different branches

shell wren May 2, 2025, 11:16 AM

#

You can also just send me the link to your commit and I will create a PR based on your branch. Then you still get the contribution, if you want

#

many thanks for the quick info about the issue being the AeState been moved out of draft. otherwise, i would have been completely lost 😄

shell wren May 2, 2025, 1:13 PM

#

I created a PR and will merge it after testing and making it backwards compatible:
https://github.com/mryel00/camera-streamer/pull/1

fading viper May 2, 2025, 3:10 PM

#

thanks for the superquick help!

shell wren I created a PR and will merge it after testing and making it backwards compatibl...

Hi! In order to test it myself, after making the changes indicated in your PR, is it necessary to recompile the camera again with 'make update' or is simply restarting the host sufficient?

shell wren May 2, 2025, 5:22 PM

#

make update won't do it, as it will redownload the repo

#

Restarting won't do it either

random nest May 2, 2025, 5:23 PM

#

shell wren Restarting won't do it either

So how can I test it?

shell wren May 2, 2025, 5:24 PM

#

Change this url https://github.com/mainsail-crew/crowsnest/blob/master/bin/build.sh#L44 to https://github.com/Surion79/camera-streamer.git

#

Then run make update

random nest May 2, 2025, 5:25 PM

#

Thanks. Gonna try it and tell you.

shell wren May 2, 2025, 8:55 PM

#

I pushed the fix upstream. If there are still errors, please let me know

random nest May 2, 2025, 9:12 PM

#

It works again on my side. Thank you very much 🙂
