v4l2rtspserver-master fails when launching

[tssva]

When launching the v4l2rtspserver-master in the repo it fails with the following message.

i264e[info]: profile Constrained Baseline, level 3.1
/system/sdcard/bin/v4l2rtspserver-master: /home/ptkang/work/platform/isvp_20160504_e/proj/sdk-lv3/src/imp/ivs/ivs_move/src/filter.c: 156: Start: Assertion `filter->roi.x >= 0 && filter->roi.y >= 0 && filter->roi.width >= 0 && filter->roi.height >= 0 && filter->roi.x + filter->roi.width <= filter->wholeSize.width &&filter->roi.y + filter->roi.height <= filter->wholeSize.height' failed.

this is strange logs. It seems that the detection filter is not well configured
Did you compile by yourself ?
what is the output of logcat command ?

[EliasKotlyar]

I suppose that it has something to do with the new updated binaries from a Xiaofang/WyzeCam 2. This error was already here when i was using some different binaries from the SDK.

See here for more details:
#4

Can you try to deactivate the motion tracking?

Did you compile by yourself ?

I did compile it myself. I ran the compile scripts in the repo to build lame, opus, live555 and then v4l2rtspserver-master. The only changes I made were to the paths for the detection scripts called by v4l2rtspserver.

what is the output of logcat command?

Can you try to deactivate the motion tracking?

It works properly with motion tracking deactivated.

I found why you get /system/sdcard/bin/v4l2rtspserver-master: /home/ptkang/work/platform/isvp_20160504_e/proj/sdk-lv3/src/imp/ivs/ivs_move/src/filter.c: 156: Start: Assertion filter->roi.x >= 0 && filter->roi.y >= 0 && filter->roi.width >= 0 && filter->roi.height >= 0 && filter->roi.x + filter->roi.width <= filter->wholeSize.width &&filter->roi.y + filter->roi.height <= filter->wholeSize.height failed.
You compiled with libimp.so (instead of libimp.a) which is newer code (new sdk version). The API changed a bit: there are now 16 detection areas (instead of 4). You need to change this define:
file inc/imp/imp_ivs_move.h
change
#define IMP_IVS_MOVE_MAX_ROI_CNT 4
to
#define IMP_IVS_MOVE_MAX_ROI_CNT 16

recompile et voila !

That sounds awesome. They also have changed some Api-Names a bit, but everything seems to be similar to the "old" version. See 85e040d for more details.

@nik0 : I found a new "leaked" source on github. It seems that it includes a fully featured Demo RTSP-Server. Can you please have a look? Dont have much time this week. I suppose that we can use it to improve the overall quality & stability. It also includes a lot of new code...
https://github.com/beihuijie/carrier-rtsp-server

[nik0]

I did a quick test, and I have this error capture_and_encoding( 268): IMP_System_Init() failed the error is not obvious (and it seems to freeze the cam)
Why do you think the quality would be better ?
The good news is that we have the last (or more recent) SDK lib + include. I made some adjustments (as some API changed) and it seems to work ... IMP_System_Init SDK Version:3.12.0-6f2a7d4 built: Mar 20 2018 18:53:49
I will push everything soon ...

Hello @nik0 ,

I did a quick test, and I have this error capture_and_encoding( 268): IMP_System_Init() failed the error is not obvious (and it seems to freeze the cam)

Could you please check if you have the correct sensor uncommented in this file:
https://github.com/beihuijie/carrier-rtsp-server/blob/master/imp-common.h

Why do you think the quality would be better ?

I suppose that the original firmware is using the compiled version of this "carrier" implementation. Because of that, I suppose that the overall quality/stability is better than in "our" implementation. They are using some different threading system(forking). Maybe its working better this way.

I will push everything soon ...

Thanks you for pushing. There is still some work to do(started working on sensor detection yesterday).

[nik0]

You were right the sensor was not the good one
But the camera is still stuck and I didn't succeed to see the image.
I pushed the new sources and makefile

[nik0]

Hi @EliasKotlyar ,
I noticed that removing the snap_jpeg in the main h264 loop improving the stability (I mean VLC won't lose the stream)
For now I didn't put it back, but I guess that having a separate thread will improve it
