Segmentation Fault

[stephen-hardy]

OK, here is what I did. But, first, I'd like to call out that I made a mistake above. I referenced Buster when I should have said Bullseye. I thought Debian releases were unique to the letter. My mind held on to Buster for "B", and I thought I was good. Anyway...

• Raspberry Pi Official Imager
• Raspberry Pi OS Lite (32bit) - Debian Bullseye - Released: 2022-09-22

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo raspi-config

• Performance Options -> GPU Memory -> 256
• Interface options -> Legacy Camera -> Yes

wget https://github.com/raspberry-pi-camera/raspindi/archive/refs/tags/v2.0.2.zip
unzip v2.0.2.zip
cd raspindi-2.0.2
./easy-setup.sh
/opt/raspindi/raspindi.sh

And you get...
Parse error at /etc/raspindi.conf:18 - syntax error

Let's open the config file and fix the error:
sudo nano /etc/raspindi.conf
Go to the last line, delete carriage return and the close parenthesis, replace close parenthesis, CTRL-X, yes

WORKS!

Now, here is what I did after it started working. THIS IS NOT ESSENTIAL, just an example of what also works.

Configure 1080p feed

sudo nano /etc/raspindi.conf
Change to the following:

neopixel_path = "/tmp/neopixel.state";
camera_number = "-1";
height="1088";
width="1920";
fps="30";

Using 1088 because 1080 results in "Aspect ratio forced to: 1920 x 1088"

Setup as a service

sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/raspindi.service
Set content:

 [Unit]
 Description=RasPiNDI
 After=multi-user.target

 [Service]
 Type=idle
 ExecStart=/opt/raspindi/raspindi.sh

 [Install]
 WantedBy=multi-user.target

I just tried on a Raspberry Pi 3, and followed the instructions to the letter on a Buster lite 32bit OS. Freshly installed via the official Raspberry Pi installer.

Got this:

Parse error at /etc/raspindi.conf:17 - syntax error Segmentation fault

So... it is Lite specific? Or, it is Buster specific? It happens across architecture, storage medium type, Pi model.

I guess I'll try an older version, or full version, next.

Hi,

I got same error, last version Raspbian on 3+ and 4

Thanks

I was able to get it working, by using a binary from the releases. With all the people talking about their successful experiences using it in the Issues, I guess either everyone uses the releases, or I'm just especially incompetent. I could never make the Readme instructions work no matter what HW/OS combination or how carefully I followed them. I'm starting to wonder if those instructions represent someone's best recollection of installation, on an OS that has already had a bunch of other things installed. Or, perhaps it is a full desktop (never ended up getting to test that). I'll be shocked if anyone tells me those instructions work on a brand new headless image.

I have my notes on what worked on another machine. Tomorrow or the next day I'll get those posted here.

But, it is working working well on a Pi 4. About 215ms latency @ 1080p 30fps.

Apologies for the delay on looking at this one. I've got no spare Pi boards at the moment (If only I could get my hands on one!), so can't test it. I'll see if I can free up one of my existing ones to try it out at some point.

Pleased you've managed with the binaries. My guess with a segfault is there's an issue with one of the libraries, but without a board I can't actually test it!
