Is RPi5 + Pi Camera v3 supported? (CAMERA: Cannot find encoder to convert from 'YUYV')

[puterboy]

I tried running the following from the command line based off of `

/usr/bin/camera-streamer -camera-path=/base/axi/pcie@120000/rp1/i2c@88000/imx708@1a --camera-type=libcamera --camera-format=YUYV --camera-width=2304 --camera-height=1296 --camera-fps=30 --camera-nbufs=2 --camera-snapshot.height=1080 --camera-video.height=720 --camera-stream.height=480 --camera-options=AfMode=2 --camera-options=AfRange=2 --http-listen=0.0.0.0 --http-port=8080 --rtsp-port

I get back:

I also tried setting --camera-format= to MJPEG, YUV420 and H264 to no avail.

So is there any way to get a PiCamera v3 to work on an RPi5 using camera-streamer?

I just tried --camera-format=RGB and I got a little further but a different error message:

Any thoughts?

I'll reply since nobody else has yet... The RPI5 isn't supported yet because it doesn't have the hardware encoder that previous devices had. It will require significant changes to integrate software encoding.

[puterboy]

That's too bad as other streamers support RPI5 since they allow you to use libcamera commands plus ffmpeg to generate the stream. This seems like a real limitation of camera-streamer relative to other options.
