v4l2rtspserver hangs when camera is temporary unavailable #299

Closed azsde closed 1 year ago

To use the latest Camera v3 from Raspberry Pi, we need to use libcamerify which is a V4L2 compatibility layer preload.

libcamerify -d v4l2rtspserver

I don't know if it is due to libcamerify, but sometimes the camera seems to be temporary unavailable:

[NOTICE] /home/azsde/v4l2rtspserver/src/V4L2DeviceSource.cpp:203
        V4L2DeviceSource::getNextFrame errno:11 Resource temporarily unavailable
[ERROR] /home/azsde/v4l2rtspserver/src/V4L2DeviceSource.cpp:111
        error:Resource temporarily unavailable
[NOTICE] /home/azsde/v4l2rtspserver/src/V4L2DeviceSource.cpp:122

This causes v4l2rtspserver to hang indefinitely.

Looking into the code, it seems that if V4L2DeviceSource cannot get the next frame, it will stop the thread in charge of fetching the the frames:

// V4L2DeviceSource.cpp:L109
// ...
if (this->getNextFrame() <= 0)
{
    LOG(ERROR) << "error:" << strerror(errno);                      
    stop=1;
}

Maybe checking for the errno value before setting stop to 1 would allow to keep on trying ?
