Have tried both manual install and using Ansible to no avail, still receiving this error: [video4linux2,v4l2 @ 0x1d68930] ioctl(VIDIOC_G_FMT): Invalid argument /dev/video99: Invalid argument

RasPi Zero W Rev 1.1 RasPi Camera Module 3 - Wide Running v0.2.0

For me this seems to be an issue with the loopback device not being available, which in turn is because the ffmpeg process gets killed by the scheduler - it's requesting too much memory and I can see it being killed in dmesg

@borfd do you know how to solve it?

I had the same problem. I use the ribbon cable camera module. Raspberry Pi isn't my domain of expertise so I didn't understand what it meant to "enable Legacy Camera Support". The link in the README certainly wasn't helpful.

After installing Raspbian lite, I assumed that since "libcamera-jpeg -o test.jpg" worked, there was no need to explicitly enable legacy support. I was wrong. The real verification checks which I got from 0xPr0xy's post on this closed bug are below.

Before enabling Legacy Camera Support:

$ vcgencmd get_camera
supported=0 detected=0, libcamera interfaces=0

$ raspistill -o test.jpg
ERROR: the system should be configured for the legacy camera stack

Legacy Camera Support can be enabled like so:

sudo raspi-config nonint get_legacy
sudo raspi-config nonint do_legacy 0
sudo reboot

Afterwards, you should get output similar to the following:

$ vcgencmd get_camera
supported=1 detected=1, libcamera interfaces=0

$ raspistill -o test.jpg
$ echo $?
0

Then hkcam ought to work with CSI ribbon cable camera module
