Aravis 0.5.5 couldn't detect the gige

gigefern · August 24, 2023, 1:54pm

I have installed 32 bit version of aravis 0.5.5 on rhel 8. But I am failing to discover cameras. Using avt vimba I can bring up the camera using the IP address. But with aravis 0.5.5 ‘arv-heartbeat-test’ shows the following results:

./arv-heartbeat-test
Device not found

Hi,

Aravis 0.5.5 is 7 years old, and not even a stable release. Please update to the latest stable release (0.8.29).

Cheers,

Emmanuel.

Hi Emmanuel,

Thanks for your recommendation. Do you have any guidance to build 0.8.29 in 32 bit mode

Thanks

Hi,
I am at a stumbling block trying 0.8.29 on Fedora for testing the installation.
I have installed ninja but during meson setup build I am getting an error:

Directories
prefix : /usr/local
bindir : bin
libdir : lib64
datadir : share

Options
Viewer : True
GStreamer plugin: True
USB support : False

ERROR: Could not detect Ninja v1.8.2 or newer <<<<<<<<<<
More than a day I am still at this place

Appreciate your expert advice.

Cheers!

Hi,

My workaround is

ERROR: Could not detect Ninja v1.8.2 or newer <<<<<<<<<<
I have installed ninja 1.11.1 and downgraded to 1.10.0.
That eliminated the error.

Cheers!

Hi Emmanuel,

I still don’t discover the camera. Appreciate your expertise in discovering the camera.

I do have an allied vision manta gige is connected to via a switch.

Appreciate your assistance.

Hi,

Please run arv-fake-gv-camera-0.8 in one console, and arv-camera-test-0.8 -d all in another console and report the output here.

Emmanuel.

Emmanuel,

Thanks for the feedback.
As per your request …

So everything is working fine.

gigefern · September 11, 2023, 4:32pm

Hi Emmanuel,

I don’t think aravis latest tool discovers the GigE camera.

:./arv-tool-0.8
No device found <<<<<< ???

:./arv-test-0.8
Found 0 device <<<<<< ???

Could you please elaborate on how to troubleshoot about the auto-discovery?

Thanks

Emmanuel · September 11, 2023, 5:39pm

Which camera model ?
Do you have a firewall on your machine ?

gigefern · September 12, 2023, 3:47pm

Hello Emmanuel,

Thanks. I am using avt manta model. My issue happen to be the firewall. Once I disabled it now I am discovering the cameras.

When I run /arv-viewer-0.8 I get the following message:
(arv-viewer-0.8:79880): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 11:35:37.963: g_dbus_proxy_new_sync: assertion ‘G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)’ failed,

Does this mean that I am missing a dependency package or anything else?

Thanks

Emmanuel · September 12, 2023, 5:03pm

Great.

I guess this is related to the notification functionality. Nothing to worry about.
Did you succeed to display the video stream using arv-viewer ?

gigefern · September 12, 2023, 11:35pm

Thanks for your feedback.

Not yet! However, I did get the black screen … I haven’t had a chance to adjust the exposure. I will update here.

gigefern · September 19, 2023, 3:21pm

I successfully manage to stream using a GigE camera.
So I succeeded displaying the video stream using arv-viewer. Thanks!

Above accomplishments all using the defaults that is 64 bit.
Is there a way to install 0.8+ in 32 bit mode? I have an operational requirement to implement in 32 bit mode.

Thanks and look forward to hearing from you.

Emmanuel · September 19, 2023, 4:17pm

Great !

It should just be a matter of setting the right environment variables, something like what is done here: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode/issues/38
