Hi @pivpiv ,
I can reproduce the error when I set the capture rate to "5MP 4:3 @ 25/30 fps (WDR)":

Hi @pivpiv , thanks for your report.
This repo is not the active track and don't get updates as often.
I added a disclaimer in the top of the repo after your question.

We'll get back when we have had to look at this, but would moving to ACAP Native SDK and acap-native-sdk-examples be an option for you?
