Update to Picamera2 for Raspbian Bullseye?

[thjkral]

Do you plan to update the library for users that use the new Bullseye OS? Unfortunately, the integration of the camera with Python was not part of the release and makes a lot of projects incompatible. When Picamera2 is released, will there be a version of PI-TIMOLO that uses this new library?

Switching back to the previous Buster version of Raspbian is not a long term solution for me and the other modules I run on my RasPi, I'm afraid.

Waiting for the full release of PiCamera2 that is not syntactically compatible with the original PiCamera python library. Will need a rewrite of camera portions of Pi-Timolo. I have discussed issues with PiCamera2 developers and was not pleased about using a whole new syntax so not sure if I will create a new version or integrate with existing. Still on the fence at this time. Claude ...

Thank you for the quick response. So Pi-Timolo will be available, in some shape or form, for the new OS in the future?

Yes Picamera2 python lib is not released for production yet. Just review so far

Hi. First I’d like to say what a wonderful idea.
I am trying to get this up and running but have had little success. It seems as if it Doesn’t yet work with later Raspian release, is that correct and if so which is the version I should use?
Regards Peter

It will run under Bullseye and anything earlier. Not 64bit.. Just enable Legacy picamera setting using sudo raspi-config under interfaces or if on desktop select the menu pick for configuration settings. Let me know how it goes. Claude ...

Hi. Some progress has been made by building from scratch with new copy of Bullseye and the test works. I still have a lot to do to work out how it all works and to decide if I need py3exif2 and plug ins but it’s looking good. Thanks for your help.

I started working on a test motion tracking program that uses picamera2 threaded streaming. Works OK. My sample code auto detects picamera and picamera2 configs as well as being able to access webcam and RTSP streams. Everything works on this sample code. Have not posted to Github. This was mostly for updating speed camera but Timolo uses motion tracking as well.
I do plan at some time to rewrite new version for picamera2. The existing one will be OK for backward compatibility.
exif routine is used to save and restore exif metadata that is lost when adding text to images.

Just to be clear are you just running existing timolo in Bullseye using the raspi-config, Interfaces menu pick that enables Legacy PiCamera.? or coding something.
