Hi All,
Since recent updates to my Pi I can no longer use raspi-config to set up anything. (Using RASPBMC in this case)
All i wish to do is enable the camera as I already have scripts running as Favorites in XBMC to trigger camera options.
It is as simple as a true / flase (1/0) flag in a file or is there a script i should be running to enable?
I know if I use other OS i can just use the raspi config but i had a pretty awesome set up with RASPBMC and just want to re-enable camera. (There is a nanny cam option but i don't want this on as takes photos every X minutes, all i want is ability to take photos/videos on demand again)
I have moderate knowledge and could find my way through all folders etc to change anything if I just knew where to start
Thanks in advance for all replies
Re: Enable Camera without Raspi-Config
I think - though I'm not 100% sure
you need
gpu_mem=128
disable_camera_led=1
start_file=start_x.elf
fixup_file=fixup_x.dat
in /boot/config.txt
[and those files in /boot/]

Re: Enable Camera without Raspi-Config
Thanks for the swift reply but with RASPBMC there is no X Desktop. (the Start_File part)
I couldn't see anything in there that would enable the camera?
The bit about camera only turns off the LED on it.

start_file=start_x.elf
fixup_file=fixup_x.dat
are nothing to do with x desktop I think they have the camera GPU code in that bit
[that was taken from one of my camera machines]

Re: Enable Camera without Raspi-Config
Just incase anyone else is trying to do this.
It was even simpler than suggested, just add to /boot/config.txt
then raspistill command works in RASPBMC
