Describe the bug On first clone and run, get the following error:

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. python app.py

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)

Additional context Assuming this is a picamera2 version issue - sensor argument seems to have been added in https://github.com/raspberrypi/picamera2/commit/fa69488488662d99a1629bfda6367033baa57471. Raising bug to aid anyone else experiencing this issue - hoping to close with solution shortly.

Looks like I'm running version 0.3.12-2, but functionality was added in 0.3.15...

Got it working by checking out version 6de5578355119c5ca7b476e33ab0b88c1478faae. I suspect upgrading Raspbian to Bookworm would probably update picamera. I'll try this soon.

Getting about 1 frame every 1-2 seconds on a Pi Zero W, with a 12 second delay, when running over a 4G/LTE cellular modem over Tailscale VPN.

yeah this sensor argument was added in yesterday did not test it on bullseye... Bookworm is best to be honest everything is up to date there. Bullseye is considered legacy...

But thanks for the note I will change the readme to be a little more explicit on the versions

[monkeymademe]

Going to close this for now due to how legacy bullseye is
