SW OSD error

I am receiving the following error continuously on my IPNC system when it is configured to display D1 resolution streams. Other resolutions don't appear to cause this issue.

"SWOSD_winDraw():baseI fail or baseJ fail 0  0 for window id 0"

This function appears to be from the library alg_osd_ti.a.

1) Has any seen this error or have any insights into it?

2) I haven't been able to find the source code or origin for this library. As it is labelled, "ti", I thought it might have come from TI, but there doesn't appear to be anything related to it in the DVSDK. Without the source, it is really challenging to try to debug cause of the error message. Any ideas where this library is from or where I can get the source?

 

Thanks, Quinn.

 

  • A couple things have happened since my original post.

    First, I have found that this error is related to the OSD with the image file in it. This is especially surprising since no changes have been made to it. (Unlike the main text OSD.)

    I have also received a response from Appro to these questions. They have explained that different OSDs on different streams is not supported. They also do not have the sources for the alg_osd_ti.a library and say TI is its source. Can anyone confirm this?

    Thanks, Quinn.

  • Hi Quinn,

    I believe you are using IPNetwork Camera. The library provided with IP Network camera does not come with source and is not part of DVSDK package from TI.

    W.r.t. the question of error, please check the parameters for the bitmap window and main window. The parameters of bitmap window that has to be drawn, should fall inside the main window. You might have to particularly check that (startX+width of bitmap window) < total width of main window. Similarly, please check the height also. 

    From the error message, it seems like the setting of width and height for bmpWinPrm is all set to 0, which should not be the case.

    Regards,
