photobooth: Pi Camera does not work

Hi, i have the following problem at taking Photo: image

I am using the followinig hardware/software

  • PI 4 with 4 GB Ram
  • PI Camera v2
  • Chrome Browser at the PI
  • Photobooth is the actuall one. I downloaded it a hour before from here

Worked it? It never works.

What i tried

  1. If i use this sudo raspistill -n -o $(date +%s) | echo "Done" at shell i take a image and earn the Message done.

  2. i use the command without sudo --> same error (in shell and it the config.php)

in my.config.inc.php i got the following one:

array ( 'cmd' => 'sudo raspistill -o $(date +%s).jpg -q 100 -t 1 | echo "Done"', 'msg' => 'Done' , ) , );

I’ve a pi Cam 2 current at home connected on a Pi4. I’ll find a solution and let you know. Haven’t had time to test it for taking pictures, only quick tested with preview at countdown.

Please give me some days. If you’ve time you could press F12, try again and send a screenshot of the browser console

Edit: Maybe an issue with permissions, if it’s an gphoto2 issue the error message would be different. It’s using your command but the picture wasn’t created
