I did copy paste some of their libcamera fork in but I don't even think that was the magic. I needed dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d apparently to setup the CMA/dma-heap with a device memory for everything to work.

Ok the whole rpicam stack and libcamera is built, now to load some overlays and off to the races right? Right?
Omgods I need to build a non-mainline RPi kernel to get the imx519 overlay? Holy hell. And Radical has some fork of libcamera with blobs if I want continuous autofocus? Noo! Not like this!

Spent all day trying to get #libcamera to produce a good quality video stream using #MediaMTX under IR light. In the end I've gone back to RPi Cam Control using #picamera
The quality was awful, and no matter how much I fiddled with the mediamtx.yml it didn't improve.
Back to #Buster #raspberrypi

@michal U toho Fotoaparátu bych spíš tipoval, že vyžaduje přístup přes Pipewire, který zase vyžaduje, aby byla webkamera podporovaná v libcamera, což být nemusí, pokud je to nějaký starý stroj. Bude potřeba aplikace, která ještě umí přímý přístup, např. Cheese.

Video is still a mess and I don't know how to fix it. Or whether I should be using v4l2 or libcamera (or both?) for that matter.

Libcamera 0.7.1 Released With Improved Software ISP
Libcamera 0.7.1 released on Tuesday as the newest feature release for this open-source library for camera image signal processors (ISPs) that has grown of importance for the likes of Raspberry Pi and Chrome OS and modern desktop Linux distributions with modern laptop hardware like recent Intel Core (Ultra) laptops.

a raspberry pi 5, and a pi cam v1. I'm running a modified mpeg_server2.py (on the libcamera GitHub). The raspberry pi also has a bot that's hooked into telegram so I can issue a command in telegram to get a live picture anywhere, or on wifi at home, live video. That's the Master roshi in the bamboo.

Looks like neither the Pi Camera v2 nor the Arducam 16MP I've got will work with OctoPi. I can get them working on libcamera on plain Pi OS, but not with OctoPi. Suspect some software clashes. Yes, I've Googled... a LOT. 😞 Ho hum. Guess I'll have to buy a new Pi Camera 3 £££ :-(

It just seems like an issue between libcamera and the IMX219 camera. I've even tried the "old version" with no joy. Next is to.try and get it working just on normal Pi OS. Prove the cam works
