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

[sm1981]

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?

Hi @Osman SOYKURT 

Thank you for your reply. That is what I tried, but unfortunately without success. I only see the upper part of the video (probably around 480 pixels) while my display is 800x480 pixels. I use a stride value of 832, not sure if that makes a difference.

I am using TouchGFX 4.26.0.
