Try running ./runInteractive

Exact same error, what was I doing by running that?

from chickenvision.

Hmm never seen this before. Try restarting pi from webdashboard, then you won't need to use terminal hopefully

from chickenvision.

It should automatically run when restarted

from chickenvision.

Still getting the same error. Do I need to supply some sort of settings file?

from chickenvision.

I didn't need to. Is camera connected?

from chickenvision.

Yes. It's a Microsoft 300 Lifecam HD (or something like that) and it's plugged into the pi directly.

from chickenvision.

try running example program? Never seen this before.

from chickenvision.

running "Built-In multi-camera streaming" from the dropdown works, but downloading the example program and running that doesn't work, neither does the python example from the dropdown.

The same error results

That's very weird. Try imaging os again. Plus I (someone else, unrelated) found a bug in chicken vision that I need to fix

from chickenvision.

If that continues, I would make an issue on wpilib frcvision page

from chickenvision.

Reimaged, still not working. I'm going to take your advice and open and issue over there. Thanks for the help.

Went over to the frcvision repo, we figured it out. On line 94 a 3rd parameter needs to be passed to open(),

encoding="utf-8"

because when the pi makes the lifecam url it adds unicode (the trademark symbol) causing it to crash because it is expecting ascii only

Wow, congrats on getting that fixed. I would never have figured that out
