Description
raspi2fb is not always starting with PiCam.
There two known bugs in the init script called by PiCam:
${ECHO} "Starting logging: "
should be
echo "Starting logging: "
because "${ECHO} is not defined for raspi2fb (might be in /etc/init.d/functions but that isn't sourced by raspi2fb).
The other is that there is a space between #! and the shell path at the start of the script.
Even with those two fixes raspi2fb is not being started by picam, even though the logs say it is:
playerProcessor[player.c:230] INFO Starting raspi2fbd: /etc/init.d/raspi2fbd start
Note that as long as raspi2fb starts the app runs fine. Also, there may be some issues with stopping raspi2fb. It appears to stop, but doesn't.
playerProcessor[player.c:246] INFO Stopping raspi2fbd: /etc/init.d/raspi2fbd stop
