No display output from visualizer on Macbook Air M2

Craftonix

This is the code:

from depthai_sdk import OakCamera, RecordType

import os
import logging

video_dir = os.environ.get('VIDEO_DIR', './videos/')

logging.info(f"Recording to VIDEO_DIR={video_dir}")

with OakCamera() as oak:
    color = oak.create_camera('color')
    oak.record([color.out.camera], video_dir, RecordType.VIDEO)
    oak.visualize([color])
    oak.start(blocking=True)

Nothing is displayed on the screen, neither in foreground nor in background.

However, video is recorded on filesystem.

Hi Craftonix
It's a current issue with the apple silicon I think. It can be fixed by downloading XQuartz or switching to develop branch.

Thanks,

What do I do after downloading XQuartz? Do I run it? How do I tell depthai to display to XQuartz?

Craftonix

I installed XQuartz and ran it. Still no display.

I don't understand how switching to the develop branch would solve this problem:

The develop branch on github is here. It says:

This branch is 1 commit ahead, 36 commits behind main. If you look at the only 1 commit ahead, it relates to TOF which has nothing to do with displaying the visualizer.

Hi Craftonix
I'll check with XQuartz and get back to you.

The branches have been merged since I last checked. Seems that the problem I myself was experiencing on the MBP is now solved on the main branch as well. Have you performed a git pull? If so, does the issue remain?

Thanks,
Jaka
