Anyone know if this has been fixed in the nightly build?

Hi, any news on this topic???
Today I got a used QHY6 for guiding but I have exactly the same problem. I can only get it to work forcing the useful area resolution (752x582) and saving options.
There's also another problem, when I manually stop an exposure the camera hangs and I have to stop the server, disconnect the camera and restart the server.
KStars/INDI are updated to the latest versions.

Hello,

I have the same problem: it seems that QHY6 driver works well when you try to guide for the first time (I guide a Skywatcher EQ8 through EQMod), but if you stop guiding and later you try to restart guiding, the driver fails. Even the QHY6 dissapears from the camera menu and only remains the science CCD (in my case, the SBIG ST-8 XME). It seems this problem is quite common, I know another friend with the same problem.

I'm going to replace the QHY6 by an ASI 120MM, hope this CMOS won't give these problems.

Apart from this but, Ekos seems great: I'm currently migrating from SGPro to Ekos and it is much more lighter than the heavy and slow SGPro. The plate solve and the overall program are very fast compared with SGPro and guiding is fine when the QHY6 works.

Greetings,
Fran

Greetings nMAC,

Unfortunately, no solution for these problems so far. I also have the same problems (frame dimensions won't save and camera freezing after exposure stops). I also had a problem with guiding here: indilib.org/forum/ccds-dslrs/10106-probl...n-guiding.html#74868 . Fortunately, the problem was solved by installing the latest SDK thanks to the useful advice. Fingers crossed if we can have a solution to the problems arising here. I noticed that Kstars on Astroberry (3.4 edition if I remember well) didn't have these 2 problems with QHY.

Greetings Georgios and thanks for answering the post.
Unfortunately I have already tried to install the latest SDK on QHY site (21.08.26), both on Linux x86_64 and MacOS Catalina and
both are recognized on the indi as the newer version, the connection is made but both problems persist.
I have reverted the KStars version to 3.4 version as you said but it's the same.

Regards

Anyone know how to fix this? I still get this error, see attached image...
Is it a problem with indi or the QHY driver?
