Hi Ash, hi William,
thanks for the hints! It helped me quite a lot :-)
I had the same issue on an Edison build with meta-ros.
It worked fine after installing the gst plugins manually. I basically
needed to 'bitbake gst-plugins-good-video4linux2' and 'bitbake
gst-plugins-base-app', copy them from build/tmp/deploy/ipk/core2-32 to a
repository (including the Package files in that directory) and could
finally install them on the Edison directly using opkg install
gst-plugins-(...).
What I was missing was a valid launch file as I got always some errors
without the correct parameters in the launch file.
*@Lukas*: Can't we add another gscam-full_${PV}.bb recipe that includes
those two plugins, so the ROS tutorials run without any manual updates? I
would expect that most try with a simple USB-webcam first, leaving some
more exotic HW for further trials...
Best regards
Christoph
