When I attach KStars/Ekos to my indiserver driver works, but when I press capture button it crashes:

This error happens on freshly rebooted system, so I'm really sure no other device is using camera.
Could it be some libcamera bug on 64 bit systems?

I'm using 64bit Stellarmate OS that is based on Bullseye.
@Anjo, @OUTTA, what OS version are you to using? Also my "Main control" tab is showing a lot less parameters than yours.

@Anjo, I have made little change in your branch, INDILibCamera::Connect() method to get sensor size and pixel size from camera.

github.com/anjok/indi-3rdparty/commit/81...d060da020aafb068a482

It works on my imx477, can you see if it works for you too?

It seems fine, although default resolution is still max - 1937x1097 and that results in failure, despite device detecting correct frame ROI of 1920x1080:
Capture JPG works, exposure and gain works as per histogram
Capture DNG works, exposure and gain works as per histogram
Streaming crashes whole Kstars :)

but the issue I notice the most, we only get single channel(only red from RGB)

I will try to pull that now and test it on IMX462


I guess FATAL IPAManager ipa_manager.cpp:109 Multiple IPAManager objects are not allowed crash is only related to 64 bit systems?
Could it be a libcamera bug?

That's strange on my imx477 it returns correct values 4056 x 3040.

I'm testing new indi_libcamera_ccd driver.
Is it normal that I get two welcome messages in LOG when I start EKOS from KStars with arrow button?
2023-01-11T09:01:01: Client 9: new arrival from 127.0.0.1:43488 - welcome!
2023-01-11T09:01:02: Client 10: new arrival from 127.0.0.1:43494 - welcome!

I'm wandering if this is somehow related to this error message and driver crash when I press "Capture a preview" button on EKOS/CCD tab?

I can't get pass this error no mater what I try :(.

@Anjo, @OUTTA, is "Capture a preview" in EKOS working for you?

Preview is working for both pics and streams, but apparently it doesn't matter if you change the exposure time. it's always the same image. Also it takes a *really* long time, for a 1s exposure, it takes > 10s to take a pic and some 5s to download. For longer exposures it's even worse.

Replying to myself... so apparently only when using DNG it stays the same image level regardless of settings. When you use JPG it uses the new values and stays on that for subsequent DNG captures... kind of annoying if you ask me.

@Anjo, how your line for libcamera version looks like when you start EKOS?
Mine is:
2023-01-16T14:12:39: Driver indi_libcamera_ccd: [0:16:03.207523515] [3440]  INFO Camera camera_manager.cpp:299 libcamera v0.0.1
GitHub version of libcamera is v0.0.3, mine is still v0.0.1. How do I switch to newer?

I have this one currently as I was testing out the waveshare 16MP cam:

2023-01-16T16:46:29: Driver indi_libcamera_ccd: [94:02:55.876760888] [23473] INFO Camera camera_manager.cpp:293 libcamera v0.0.0+3897-c3c878a9

I did a sudo rpi-update and it stayed on this version.
