PySDL2 error loading jpeg

ahc_fan · 02-14-2016, 08:14 AM

I have SDL2 and SDL2_image packages installed. Here is the code I'm using:

Code:

	sdl2.ext.init()
	
	window = sdl2.ext.Window("SDL2 Image Test", size=(800, 600))
	window.show()
	
	renderer = sdl2.ext.Renderer(window, -1, 0)
	image = sdl2.ext.load_image("test_img.jpg") # <--- ERROR
	
	running = True
	while running:
		events = sdl2.ext.get_events()
		for event in events:
			if event.type == sdl2.SDL_QUIT:
				running = False
				break
		window.refresh()

and it gives the following output:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "sdlimg", line 24, in <module>
    main()
  File "sdlimg", line 12, in main
    image = sdl2.ext.load_image("test_img.jpg")
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.5/site-packages/sdl2/ext/image.py", line 71, in load_image
    raise SDLError(sdlimage.IMG_GetError())
sdl2.ext.common.SDLError: b'JPEG loading error'

I tried searching the error and got literally no results. I also tried sdl2.sdlimage.IMG_Load() instead but then it simply gives a "wrong type" error. I tested with BMP files and they load fine.

So anyone have any ideas why it fails to load JPG images?

-

Or if there is another way to achieve hardware-accelerated image rendering in python that integrates well with PyGObject/GTK then I'd like to hear about it.

Thanks

Still struggling with this error. I tried registering at SDL forums but apparently I'm not authorized to create topics there. I tried uninstalling sdl2, sdl2_image, pysdl2 and reinstalling them all in that order plus dependencies. Still the same, uninformative error...

The obvious questions: is test_img.jpg a valid jpeg? If so, is it in the same directory as the executable?

EDIT: Nevermind. Just tried it and get different errors.
