Portsdown 4 - New Update 202008050

[G4NRT]

Quick update from me as a Mac user ... the build went very smoothly. I installed on a new 4gb Pi4.

I had some issues with making ssh work and had to enable it via the raspi-config menu from the command line prior to running the install_portsdown shell script.

Once installed, I noted that the Wifi Configuration Menu (38) is not working for me. However I was able to access via ssh from my Mac and run raspi-config to setup the wifi network.

Apart from that it all went very smoothly. I decided to move my 7" display from the official Rpi on to the SmartPi Touch 2 case which includes a fan to keep the Pi4 temperature down: https://thepihut.com/products/smartipi- ... 2798188606

BZ Dave on a very good job!

Hi David

Pleased that ti is working for you.

The WiFi configuration menu is not finished - I'll remove the button in the next build if I can't sort it out.

Hi Dave,
Good point! My C920 is not identified as your's:

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:0892 Logitech, Inc. OrbiCam

Same vendorId, same productId, but not same name...looks like it is the problem!

Any file where I can change the name, just for testing?

Roland,
the product id is not the same 082d is Daves Logitech. Yours 0892 is correct for an OrbiCam.
I think around 2017 Logitech started using the video boards from their Orbicam in the C920 case and lens and very unhelpfully didn't change the name from C920. The result of this is that later C920's do not have H264 hardware encoder built in and will not work with Portsdown I assume Logitech did this to save on the cost of H264 hardware core and software licensing fees. There is no way to tell , until you plug it in, models externally as they use same case, same packaging and same model number.
Portsdown software could be modified to take the MJpeg stream from your camera, H264 software encode, form DBS packets and sent it out on USB to Lime/Pluto etc. Two limiting factors though...H264 software encoding just about slows PI to a stop and as PI only has a single USB bus, bandwidth is completely swamped by incoming MJpeg stream and outgoing DVB to encoder on the same bus.

Regarding C920 Cam, I found this from Logitech web site :

Hi Dave and Christian,

Thanks for the infos and the link, and my mistake reading too quickly the product id!
I will use the C920 only when connected to a PC and running Portsdown 4 with IPTS in..

Thanks to Christian for pointing out the change in the C920 hardware. I was not aware of this. All is not lost, as the Portsdown does not actually use the camera's hardware encoder but instead uses the RPi's GPU to encode without even breaking into a sweat. I need some information though.

Please could someone with an Orbicam C920 run:

Code: Select all

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --list-formats-ext

or maybe (to select the C920)

Code: Select all

v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video1 --list-formats-ext

and post the (long) results of the command here.

I will then try to make the modifications to allow this version of the C920 to work.

Thanks

Dave, G8GKQ

Let me know if it is what you need, and I can send you text files if it's more easy.
Anyway, thanks for looking at this case!

Perfect Roland

That's what I needed. I'll work on it later this week.

Interesting....I had an early Portsdown A27 Langstone version installed so using SSH I followed the commands at the begging of this thread (I was getting the google message).
Screen did the usual x of 10 updates, SSH went all the way to rebooting......
During reboot I see the Portdown blue logo screen briefly, then a much enlarged YELLOW Langstone part screen, then another flash of the Portdown logo, then a RED screen (of death??).

Sounds like a card rebuild time.......something vital missing perhaps?

** Just SSHed in again and ran the commands - went through in under a minute this time, but on reboot the same sequence and RSOD.....**
