PiCam in OpenCV nano_built_opencv error

Hello, Developers, please help. I want to run Pi camera on my Jetson nano, but without success. I installed the file from mdegans and nano_build_opencv I also installed packages and read this: CSI-Camera Raspberry Pi v2 not work on Jetson Nano
but it still not working. GStreamer in buildinformation always stay =NO.
What could I do more, please?
in the terminal the camera work well, also when I run it with jetson.utils.videoSourse. But runnig with openCV nothing.

Hi,
Please check if you can run this gst-launch-1.0 command and see camera preview:

$ gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! nvoverlaysink

If above command can be run successfully, please try this python sample:
OpenCV Video Capture with GStreamer doesn't work on ROS-melodic - #3 by DaneLLL

Hello, DaneLLL. Thank you for your answer! When I put the text in the terminal it is ok, but the code in VSCode isn’t, It gives me this error:

[ERROR:0] global /tmp/pip-req-build-bbq4c33o/opencv/modules/videoio/src/cap.cpp (164) open VIDEOIO(CV_IMAGES): raised OpenCV exception:

camera open failed

Hi,
From the error it looks like the OpenCV does not enable gstreamer. Probably it loads another version of OpenCV in the environment. Would suggest check this.

Hello how to check this? I read this article too Problems with OpenCV - #15 by notprime and made the installation with AastaNV · GitHub and now is GStremer=ON, but it still make error:

the code:

import cv2
import numpy as np
import os
dispW=1280 # 1280
dispH=960 # 960
flip=2

camSet=‘nvarguscamerasrc ! video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=3264, height=2464, format=NV12, framerate=21/1 ! nvvidconv flip-method=’+str(flip)+’ ! video/x-raw, width=‘+str(dispW)+’, height=‘+str(dispH)+’, format=BGRx ! videoconvert ! video/x-raw, format=BGR ! appsink’

cam=cv2.VideoCapture(camSet)

while True:
ret, frame=cam.read()
cv2.imshow(‘piCam’,frame)
if cv2.waitKey(1)==ord(‘q’):
break
cam.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

the error:

Hi @user50863 ,

when passing the parameters dispW, dishH and flip, try not to u se the str method.
So, trey to use the following pipeline:

camSet = 'nvarguscamerasrc !
         "video/x-raw(memory:NVMM), width=(int)3264, height=(int)2464, format=(string)NV12, "
         "framerate=(fraction)21/1 ! "
         "nvvidconv flip-method=flip ! "
         "video/x-raw, width=(int)dispW, height=(int)dispH, format=(string)BGRx ! "
         "videoconvert ! "
         "video/x-raw, format=(string)BGR ! appsink"

Let us know what happens!

Hello! Thank you very much for your answer! Today I just tried again, without any changes in code or install from last time and got new errors. Very stranges.

The error:

Hello notprime again, i solved last error just with upgrade, but now in information for cv2 in cv2.getBuildInformation() , Gstreamer=NO again, and again the old error:

I cant understand what happen,something between GStreamer, openCV 4.5.4 and JetPack

Hi,
As comparison you can try RTSP. Please try the samples:
Doesn't work nvv4l2decoder for decoding RTSP in gstreamer + opencv - #3 by DaneLLL
I got the RTSP video stream on the jetson nano and ran it for about 50 frames before returning false - #7 by DaneLLL

Try other kind of OpenCV samples and check if it works.
