Problems after installing

[ingramr88]

I am a super noob but would like to use this code if it works. after install, when I try to run picam.py on my raspberry pi 4 running raspbian, I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "picam.py", line 5, in
from AudioRecorder import AudioRecorder
File "/home/pi/Python_AVrecorder/AudioRecorder.py", line 24
print(status, file=sys.stderr)

Any advice on how to procceed? I am using a usb webcam that also is a microphone and I have external speakers hooked up. Thanks!

Hi! Sorry for the late reply...are you running this on Python3 or 2? I think for Python2 you need to import the file differently like so

from .AudioRecorder import AudioRecorder

let me know if your still having issues

I ask you all these questions because I use a rapberry with a pi camera and a usb microphone. the whole works, but I have a delay between the sound and the video .
So i understand that you can not help me?

[ingramr88]

Aha! I see. I was having that issue too. I cannot help you. I only really needed that video. Once I noticed the delay, I quit using audio.
