mmal: mmal_vc_component_enable: failed to enable component: ENOSPC

[dherman516]

I get this when restarting a RTSP steam (using https://github.com/GStreamer/gst-rtsp-server.git). How can I enable logging to root cause the failure?

You can set the GST_DEBUG environment variable. For example

GST_DEBUG=3 gst-launch rpicamsrc ...

Same exact error on two different pi boards

I think this might mean that the previous client hasn't shut down yet - so there's a 2nd rpicamsrc trying to use the camera when it's already in use. When I share the camera via gst-rtsp-server, I set gst_rtsp_media_factory_set_shared(TRUE) so only 1 instance is shared to all clients.

[dherman516]

Thanks.. that (gst_rtsp_media_factory_set_shared(factory,TRUE)) in the test_launch.c code did it.

I think longer term, maybe adding a locking function to this (gst-rpicamsrc) to prevent multiple opens might be a better long term fix

Hello brother, finally i can solve this problem after a lot of hours troubleshooting.

I already share it in my YouTube (https://youtu.be/on8UlkRvLok)

This problem only occur in camera raspberry pi V2.1 (IMX219) from Element14. But in camera raspberry pi V2.1 from OKdo, i don't get this error

So, the solution when error "mmal: mmal_vc_component_enable: failed to enable component: ENOSPC mmal: camera component couldn't be enabled mmal: main: Failed to create camera component mmal: Failed to run camera app. Please check for firmware updates"

You need some initialization with a works camera (me camera from OKdo). So, the step is

1. Plug your works camera to Raspberry Pi (me using Raspberry Pi 4B)
2. Turn on your Raspberry Pi
3. check vcgencmd get_camera to make sure your hardware is detected the camera
4. capture image using raspistill -v and camera will capture the image
5. Then replace the works camera with ENOSPC Error Camera (from Element14)
6. then try to capture the image raspistill -v and the ENOSPC Error will not occur

Notes:

• But, after the ENOSPC Error Camera works, and then you restart/shutdown the raspberry pi, the error will occur again :(

OS Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (4GB)

• Linux raspberrypi 5.10.60-v7l+ #1449 SMP Wed Aug 25 15:00:44 BST 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux

Hello, So I exactly had this problem with my Pi4 2Gb and the V3 official camera. Unable to find a solution. I then tried with another camer: the High Quality camera (official product too), and everything worked fine. It might be a factory issue.
