Test Camera on Ubuntu Not Working as Expected / According to Documentation
Answered
Nx Peeps - having a problem getting Test Camera to operate as expected on Ubuntu. See linked video.
Details:
- in Ubuntu Desktop VM on VM Workstation Pro 16
- Two files: testvidhi.mkv (1080p video "Traffic High Stream), testvidlo.mkv (360p video "Traffic Low Stream) - both from Test Camera Emulator article on Support Portal
- Commands copied pasted with only file names changed
- Test Camera is only generating 1 camera (instead of 100) and is only using hi res video file.

Hello Tony,
The semicolon is interpreted as a separate command in the bash.
The space is expected after the "-I" option, not the "=".
The correct command in your case is the following
./testcamera -I 127.0.0.1 "files=testvidhi.mkv; secondary-files=testvidlo.mkv; count=100"
Thank you, we should definitely update the article.

Couple things:
1. When I run the command with your updated syntax I get the following result (exactly the same as previous result).
2. If you are correct every example on the Test Camera Emulator article on Support Portal has the wrong syntax (we should update it).

Tony,

I'm afraid you are not doing exactly as it was updated.
Since the semicolon is interpreted as a separate command in the bash, the arguments should be enveloped by quotes: the opening quote before the files and closing quote after the count=100 . -
Copied and pasted your syntax below and that fixes the issue - which is different, as previously mentioned from Test Camera Emulator article. Can we please fix the article?
./testcamera -I 127.0.0.1 "files=testvidhi.mkv; secondary-files=testvidlo.mkv; count=100"
