Hello,

I got the media-ctl tool from http://git.ideasonboard.org/git/media-ctl.git
and compiled and build it successfully. But when try to run it I get this error:

sudo ./media-ctl -r -l "ov3640 3-003c":0->"OMAP3 ISP CCDC":0[1], "OMAP3 ISP CCDC":1->"OMAP3 ISP CCDC output":0[1]

./media-ctl: line 1: syntax error: "(" unexpected

Does anyone know how I can solve that problem?

Best Regards, Tom

Looks like you are trying to execute a wrapper script instead of the real binary, it's in src/.libs

Hello Enrico,

thanks for your reply. All I did was to build the media-ctl tool, made "make install" and copied the resulting folder "media-ctl-exe" to my arm board. Then I executed the /media-ctl-exe/bin/media-ctl file with "./media-ctl --help" and got this error.

Best Regards, Tom

You're missing single quotes around the argument to -l option. Looks like the string will reach media-ctl altogether w/o quotes and as several command line arguments, and both are bad. Entity names need to be quoted if they contain spaces.
