run video on guiguider simulator

[amira]

Hello,

I'm trying to add a video to my gui-guider screen but there is no widget for that ! (I'm using V1.7.1 of guiguider)

I'm using MMIXRT1170-EVKB

Hi @amira,

It seems like this is a bug specifically for the RT1170-EVK and RT1170-EVKB. Versions 1.5 and 1.6 have the video widget available for these MCU boards, while the newer 1.7 doesn't. I have reported this issue internally to the appropriate team. The correction should be available on the next release of GUI Guider.

If you require to use the video widget for your RT1170-EVKB, you could go back to version 1.6 of GUI Guider.

Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause and thank you for reporting this.

BR,
Edwin.

Is it possible to know when the new release will be available ?

Hi @amira,

I'm afraid I don't have access to this information, so I wouldn't be able to provide it to you. That said, our GUI Guider team works dexterously, and the new versions usually release quickly (compared to other NXP software like the IDE or SDKs). For example, version 1.7.2 was just released last week, which means that there was only 3 weeks between versions 1.7.1 and 1.7.2.

Sadly, I checked, and the video missing feature didn't make the cut for this 1.7.2 release.

Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.

BR,
Edwin.

Could you kindly confirm if this bug will be resolved in the upcoming release? Having this information would greatly assist us in our development planning.

[amira]

Any response please?

Hi @amira,

Internal was able to share that the next version of GUI Guider is soon to be released, but it sadly won't implement the video widget for the RT1170-EVKB. It's likely that this feature will be implemented until v1.8.1.

Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.

BR,
Edwin.

Thank you for your response!

Hi @amira

Apologies, but I'm still unable to confirm if the fix will be present on the nearest release of GUI Guider. I am still deliberating with the GUI Guider team about this topic. If they are able to provide me with an approximate timeline, I will let you know.

BR,
Edwin.

I encountered a problem while I'm building an exported project from Gui-Guider v1.6.0 to MCUXpresso IDE v11.8.0 with SDK V2.14, here is the bug:

/sdk/Core/lvgl/lvgl/src/extra/widgets/video/lv_video.c:22:14: fatal error: sdcard.h: No such file or directory

22 | #include "sdcard.h"

compilation terminated.

Thanks for your feedback, but as I mentioned before there is no Video widget in the menu for version V1.7.1 of Gui Guider ( you can verify)

Hi @amira,

The screenshot I shared previously is taken from version 1.7.1 of GUI Guider. Here is an extended picture that corroborates the release version:

What MCU are you using for your project? If you create a new project using the following board and template (just for testing purposes), is the Video widget still missing for you?

BR,
Edwin.

Hi @amira,

Please look into the following documentation on how to add and use the VideoPlayer application template on GUI Guider: Video | GUIGUIDERUG: GUI Guider User's Guide | NXP Semiconductors

If the board you are currently using does not have a VideoPlayer sample, you can still find the video player widget on the "advanced" section of the Widgets menu (scroll to the bottom of this menu to find it):

Make sure to add the .h264 video file on the "<project folder>/import/video" path in order to be able to see it during simulation. An example of how the video path should look like is shown after step 4 of the "Create project" section of the aforementioned documentatation.

Hope this helps!

BR,
Edwin.
