I’ve been reading the Raspi documentation regarding libcamera and found out about the post processing stage. When trying to run a capture with a post processing file (predefined example script from the raspberry github) I get this error:

What is happening here? I would love to experiment with postprocessing, so any hints enabling me to get this working are welcome…
