Could not initialize camera

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Nano

I always get the error for this code even I reboot the jetson nano. I am using Jetson Nano IMX219-160 Camera.
Thank you!

from jetbot import Camera
from IPython.display import display
import ipywidgets.widgets as widgets
from jetbot import bgr8_to_jpeg

camera = Camera.instance(width=224, height=224, usb=1, url=url)
camera_rgb = Camera.instance(width=224, height=224, usb=1, url=url_rgb)

I found that when I run this code

camera_rgb = Camera.instance(width=200, height=200, usb=1, url=url_rgb)

It shows me the error

Could you check if below command working well?

export DISPLAY=:0
nvgstcapture-1.0

It shows me that

jetbot@jetbot:~$ export DISPLAY=:0

Looks like the CSI camera working well. Looks like the python code to launch USB camera instead of CSI cam.
