Video Camera not working properly
-
@Salah you can access anything in your home folder (- or $HOME). UT does not restrict that.
-
@Salah I don't understand what you mean with hardcoded? Open the terminal app and enter the mentioned command.

@kristatos
I think he talks about read only system files. -
@Salah
Happy New Year!
I'm taking the liberty of joining the conversation for the same problem because I had edited a post on OP5T, not having received a reply.
Here's what I wrote in that post:Hello,
the camera's video playback is no longer possible, even after rebooting.
When I want to see a recording made from the camera or a downloaded video, the moment I start viewing, a black screen appears, and nothing else.
I've noticed this for about 1 week.
To all the many OP5T users out there, have you noticed this problem? -
@vince-vs My conversation is your conversation help you self dude.
Thumbs Up...
-
@kristatos I have followed your instruction. Went to Home Folder, opened terminal there and inserted the command mv ~/.cache ~/.cache_old, then rebooted the device and checked the camera. It is working properly.
But what I have noticed that device's vibrations lost, it was working before removing the cache. So I have rebooted the device 4 times till the vibration worked.. Very Strange...
Thanks for the Tip.
-
@Salah Nice to hear that your camera is working again. But I don't think, that rebooting the device 4 times helped to reactivate the vibrations. Have the vibrations worked before deleting the cache? Have the settings (there are several) in the settings-app related to vibrations been enabled?
-
@kristatos Yes it was working perfectly before deleting the cache. I have witnessed this issued also when installing Pesbuk and other applications, the vibration disappears and will come back after several reboots and test it before jumping to another reboot.
So yes it disappears after the reboot, got it back after four times.
-
@Salah Then it seems for me that it's not related to the cache.
-
@kristatos It might not be related, but it is this issue is a bit irritating to me, like the device is playing with me and enjoy annoying me
-
@Salah It could be a hardware issue.
-
@AppLee I have tried it several times, it is recording, either front or back cameras, but when swiping from left to right to open the media it shows black and not able to open the media.
As I said, after several reboots and cache cleared, it worked. So am not touch the camera till upgrading to 24.04, maybe bugs are fixed.
Thanks for the reply.
