TouchGFX Error Running Simulator (video in portrait mode limitation?)

Hi,

I am working on a pretty simple GUI and everything is working nicely so far.

As soon as I add a video I am getting a compilation error. See below. If I take the video out, everything works.

Since TouchGFX needs mjpeg format, I had to convert my video file into mjpeg. The file works fine in windows. I don't know if it could be from an issue with the format or if there is an actual problem with TouchGFX itself.

What do you guys recommend to generate or convert mjpeg files?

Hmm, I just read this:

Limitations

TouchGFX does not support video decoding in portrait mode.

 

My simulator is currently setup as 600 px wide and 1024 px tall. Could that be issue?

It seems like a rather strong limitation. I was currently possibly using an STM32 chip for our product since we need a pretty extensive GUI and it felt like TouchGFX would allow us to get to market faster. Without video support, all our GUI plans will collapse.

 

Is this limitation something ST is working on currently?
