Description of problem:

USB Camera image not displaying on camera page when connect. Only white screen. Overlay disabled.

No suitable resolutions found to fit in QSize(724, 480)

However my camera has 640x480 output. gst-device-monitor-1.0 output:

Expected Result:

Camera image displays correctly.

Walkaround:

I've managed walkaround changing the pipeline in the source and recompiling camera.cpp.

yeah the camera interface has a lot to be desired 🙂 easiest would be to let you type your own in... but I kinda try to minimize keyboard input as much as possible (since not everyone has access to one in the car)

open to suggestions on how we can make this more customizable! (maybe like a "config" mode where more options are exposed? like when setting up your pi on a bench)

A config mode does sound good. Maybe combo boxes with the most common resolutions but also an uploadable config file for custom settings. I'll think on it some more. Robert Crowley

i think the best option is to specify whole pipeline command in config file
you configure that once and if it works there no reason to change it, unless you replace your camera

Bumping this as without some sort of settings page the camera is not very useful to a lot of people.
I'm guessing a lot of people are setting up their pi on a bench before installing into the car, so setting camera aspect ratio/screen size via command line or keyboard would be possible?
