I have the same error. I work on Linux Mint 19.3 and python 3.6.9.

garantor · 2021-05-07T10:13:40Z

ran into same issue today

garantor · 2021-05-07T14:30:49Z

installing kivy 2.1.0.dev0 from github fixes this issues for me, thanks

how can I access 'index' of xcamera in zbarcam.py from main.py and change the value?

wanaxe · 2022-06-08T15:54:33Z

how can I access 'index' of xcamera in zbarcam.py from main.py and change the value?

I have to drop the zbarcam package and copy the source code into my app folder. Then modify the xcamera property part (within zbarcam.py) from

@property
def xcamera(self):
    return self.ids['xcamera']

to

@property
def xcamera(self):
    xcamera = self.ids['xcamera']
    xcamera.index = 1
    # xcamera.resolution = (640, 480)
    return xcamera

If index = 1 doesn't work, you may try other values. In my case (3 cameras), 1 is not woking, but 0 & 2 & 4 working.

This is just a workaround to get my app working. There must be a better way.

AndreMiras · 2022-06-08T15:59:29Z

You can probably monkey patch it without rewriting the entire thing

wanaxe · 2022-06-08T16:04:47Z

Yeah, money patch is the way. Thank you so much!

Do you have any idea how those camera indices are assigned? I have to try-and error to figure it out.

AndreMiras · 2022-06-08T16:16:55Z

Great for the monkey patch.
Good question for the indices, I haven't looked into it.
But we may want to make that index parameter available as a property for easy overriding.
If anyone is interested for testing that and making a PR

wanaxe · 2022-06-08T16:26:52Z

Adding index as property, is the best way. I did tests and all good. Will make a PR later.
