Hello,

Is their anybody who tried the photobooth on the new RPI4B? https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-4-on-sale-now-from-35/

I just bought the Odroid N2, but as it is 64bit I do have a lot of issues with modules that are only 64 bit.

Kind Regards, Oele Geirnaert

Great question - I don't have a RPI4B, yet. Also, I did not have time to test it on Raspbian buster - I'd be interested to learn whether that causes any issues.

Yeah, the shop I used before (https://www.sossolutions.nl) will have the RPI4B 4GB on the 2th of july. Once available I'll buy it and test it... I'll keep you posted!

I don't have a RPi 4B, but I am running Rasbian Buster (the OS that RPi 4B's require) because I'm trying to work out some issues with qt5 on Rasbian Stretch.

As of right now, the folks over at piwheels.org who make the pip packages for ARM haven't build all the latest packages for it. This step will fail: pip install -e . with ERROR: No matching distribution found for opencv-python (from photobooth==0.5.dev3+g40f1cda). So, unless you want to build from source, you might need to wait a bit before the RPi 4B can run photobooth.

That is a good point, thank you for pointing that out!

Hello, I recently received my RPI4's and installed Buster.

Everything seems to work fine except 'opencv-python' needs to be removed from the setup.py. Next you should be able to run the installation with the following command: pip install -e . So you can not run the photobooth with OpenCV but only with Python-Gphoto2
