Getting errors while live streaming from Theta Z1 + Jetson Nano to opencv

In the thread above, the person had almost the same problem as you. He marked the last post as “Solution”. Maybe you can try and contact him?

It seemed like the last pipeline worked for him.

Note that in that discussion, the THETA was mounted on the Jetson as a filesystem at some point which caused a problem.

You have the camera showing and working with gst_viewer, right?

$ ./gst_viewer -l
No : Product            : Serial    
 0 : RICOH THETA Z1     : 10010104  

You’ve loaded v4l2loopback with modprobe

as root

 # modprobe v4l2loopback

lsmod shows v4l2loopback in the kernel.

$ lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
uvcvideo               88565  0
bnep                   16562  2

v4l2-ctl shows the dummy video device

$ v4l2-ctl --info
Driver Info (not using libv4l2):
	Driver name   : v4l2 loopback
	Card type     : Dummy video device (0x0000)
	Bus info      : platform:v4l2loopback-000
	Driver version: 4.9.140
	Capabilities  : 0x85208003

if you have gst_viewer working, it’s likely you’ll get the loopback working soon.
