Hi guys,

I'm trying to connect my camera to Kinesis and I'm facing the following error when I start the kinesis_video_streamer with my config file:

[FATAL] [1550936504.944780017]: [Initialize] Failed to initialize video producer. Error code: 4099

However, I'm able to echo hz the topic publishing the encoded data from my camera using the h264_video_encoder. I used the apt-get installation.

Thanks

Hello, I tried to publish image from local bot to aws but the result on the aws is that:

The screen after I run roslaunch kinesis_video_streamer sample_application.launch:

We have a report from a user that they are seeing very poor image color quality when streaming to Kinesis Video Service from a Turtlebot 3.

Hi,
Is there any interest in adding start/stop feature through service or topic and optionally dynamic_reconfigure?
This would also require changes to kinesisvideo-common.
I'm willing to PR.

I am having an issue that I cannot have multiple video streams running at the same time. I got this working with 1 stream however when I try to use 2 or 3 then the system encounters the following error at the framerate of the camera. Everything works normally until this point when the errors start showing up after everything is done initializing.

[ERROR] [1601414471.746840163]: [KinesisVideoStreamSetup] Skipping stream id 0 due to failure initializing stream. Error code: 4109

hello,

I have a raspberry pi 4 [ubuntu 18.04 /melodic] used picamera

I have followed the steps which are mentioned in readme without facing an error, used usb_cam node for getting video data and successfully received data in rostopic ,

here are few parameters I changed

changed region to us-east-1
subscription_topic: /usb_cam/image_raw
topic_type: 2

then launched

roslaunch usb_cam usb_cam-test.launch
&
roslaunch kinesis_video_streamer sample_application.launch

while doing media playback am getting following error

No media found
Verify that you are streaming to us-east-1 and the fragment timecodes are correct or download the Kinesis Video Streams Producer SDK to set up your device.

and on launch file of roslaunch kinesis_video_streamer sample_application.launch

I get the following error

[ImageTransportCallback] test PutFrame failed. Error code: 4102

how to solve this?

Thank you

Hi, just installed your software and I did setup.
In kinesis I created a new user with following policy as described in raspcam tutorial:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "kinesisvideo:DescribeStream", "kinesisvideo:CreateStream", "kinesisvideo:GetDataEndpoint", "kinesisvideo:PutMedia" ], "Resource": [ "*" ] } ] }

I want just to publish on kinesis this topic /camera/color/image_raw.
So I changed subscription_topic and topic_type.

I putted stream_name "prova2" and on kinesis, after updating webpage, appears stream "prova2" so I believe that connection works.
Unfortunaterly I got black image with loading animation, after a while "no video fragment" appears.

How I can solve it?

I'm taking part in an AWS-run community time trial race at work. I am only using the DeepRacer console, no custom SageMaker or ros anything.

I'm getting this error, and I have no idea why - is it related to trying to watch the video while the training is going on?

Hi Guys,

A quick question.
Is there a way to stream the video using a compressed image (sensor_msgs/CompressedImage)?

Thanks

Currently, there is no option to get session credentials with IoT certificate.
You need to either set environment variables or use ~/.aws/credentials.

I see, though, that aws_common has IotRoleCredentialsProvider
https://github.com/aws-robotics/utils-common/blob/3d9bd8d6592ead23821c9cff61a0c6ad5add52e0/aws_common/include/aws_common/sdk_utils/auth/service_credentials_provider.h#L129
and ServiceCredentialsProviderChain which includes IotRoleCredentialsProvider (none are used anywhere in aws-robotics)
https://github.com/aws-robotics/utils-common/blob/3d9bd8d6592ead23821c9cff61a0c6ad5add52e0/aws_common/include/aws_common/sdk_utils/auth/service_credentials_provider.h#L175
that can be fed to KinesisStreamManager while initializing video producer
https://github.com/aws-robotics/kinesisvideo-common/blob/3fcdab96689e2cb4a213332add48525a5c75f30d/kinesis_manager/include/kinesis_manager/kinesis_stream_manager.h#L253

Also, seems like IoT credentials need to be used when creating KinesisClient, but KinesisClientFacade cannot be used here bcz it doesn't have constructor version with credentials provider as a parameter

The question is is there any reason why this hasn't been implemented
and how can I add the option the easiest way?
Would be grateful for any advise.

Hi,
I am experiencing a periodic delay in the frames received by the parser code provided by aws https://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesisvideostreams/latest/dg/examples-renderer.html, I tried to change the source camera on the sender/producer side and I also tried setting different fps and resolution but the streamed video gets a constant periodic lag/pause after every 3-4 seconds. Is this issue related to producer code or the parser code? Is there any change/enhancement can be done?

Thank you

I have used sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-kinesis-video-streamer and trying to run the node again, however the same error msg pops up.

This time it looks like it is unable to pull the aws config since this is what I am getting in the logs:

even though they are set in sample_configuration.yaml

Any idea? :)

This might be related to #2

hi, everyone:
i have a error, when i run this node,the error log is below.
kinesis_video_streamer-1-stdout.log.

Pretty straightforward, can we get binaries published for noetic? It builds fine on my system but binaries are always easier to work with

Hi Guys,

As I am trying to stream to my kinesis video stream, I am unable to do so due to the following error:

[ WARN] [1550482172.399163169]: [KinesisVideoFrameTransportCallback] my_stream1 PutFrame failed. Error code: 4102

Any idea what is the reason?

Hi,

I would like to send ROS images to AWS. I have first checked the WebRTC C SDK and managed to send a video sample to a KVS channel
I would like to do the same but with ROS data, which seems to be exactly what this repository is for. However I don't understand how to use setup it properly.

The ROS image data is published on topic /image_raw. Using h264_video_encoder package, I encode these messages to KVS format and publish them to /image_raw/encoded.

However when I try to run kinesis_video_streamer.launch to send the encoded data to AWS, it fails with the following error:

roslaunch kinesis_video_streamer kinesis_video_streamer.launch node_config_file:=config/kvs_node_config.yaml stream_config_file:=config/kvs_stream_config.yaml

Hi Guys,

I have followed the readme, however when tried to roslaunch the kinesis_video_streamer.launch I am getting the following error:
[FATAL] [1544446273.975483790]: [Initialize] Failed to initialize video producer. Error code: 4099
I have updated the yaml files to have to correct topic (sensor_msgs::Image), correct topic type(2) and correct region (eu-central-1)

What else am I missing?

Thanks
