Hy , i am new to this project

i habe setup my RPI4 with 4GB with a RpiHQ Camera

Taking pictures works very nice , also the Keogram and Startrail creation is working without any problems

But ! the Timelaps dont work

I had the same issue a week ago and upgraded to RPi4 thinking that it is caused (according error) to lack of memory - same error. There is x264 codec complexity level limitation and current code can not process larger images. The max resolution for the highest level (5.2) is 4,096×2,304. Another solution would be use other encoder - like HEVC or so... Max Resolution for HEVC is currently 8,192x4,320 But who needs to generate such a huge resolution timelapse from allsky cam - so I end up too with resampling to half of cam resolution.
