RawFrames not saved on Raspberry PI Bullseye and Windows 11 with indi_pylibcamera driver #3

Open sajmons opened 1 year ago

On Raspberry Pi Bullseye I have compiled latest version of Astra_Lite 0.0.61 from GitHub. When I press "Start Save Lights" button RAW frames should be saved to /home/[user]/Astro/RawFrames. But progress indicator always stays at 0 / 10 and no RAW frames are saved.

I have tested with indi_pylibcamera driver and actual Raspberry PI HQ Camera.

On Windows 11 I used latest released precompiled binary 0.0.58.

Log file on Windows was huge, over 250MB so I've uploaded only part of it.

I have capture frames with front cap covering telescope. Not under real sky. Maybe that the problem? With indi_simulator_ccd driver and Windows 11 it worked.

Livestacking is not working either. Probably same issue.

Hi, @sajmons Only pictures that have been quality checked are saved. Look at light frame history. Starts ovality is red. It means app found several false stars in frames (because you cover telescope with cap) and they are not round. If you to test raw frames saving, just uncheck "Max stats ovality" in "Light frame quality" section

And livestacking works only with real stars because stars are used to align images

@art-den thank you for explination. After unchecking "Max stats ovality" saving RAW frames on Raspberry PI Bullseye worked. I guess this test will have to wait for clear skies. I will close this issue then.

Saving RAW files on Windows 11 don't work after unchecking "Max stats quality". Error in logfile is:

I have cut away all the base64 encoded images from log file.

It looks like problem with XML parsing from network. I will investigate
