client.config('video:video_channel', 0) not setting front facing camera

[darsnack]

I had some code that used the bottom camera, and it worked fine. I changed the code to use the front camera using
client.config('video:video_channel', 0);
but this does not seem to work.

For reference, my drone is doing object tracking. When I use the front facing camera code above, the drone is unresponsive to the object moving in front of it. However, if I keep the code the same, and I place the object under the drone, it reacts. Any ideas why the above command could be failing? I even placed my code in an async.waterfall block to make sure the camera was configured first before I had the drone takeoff and enter the main control loop.

I'm getting the same issue. Any progress on it?

Is it possible a firmware update has changed the command? I'm not getting any errors from the config callback. And I'm setting it once the client has connected.

Yeah, it's possible the FW changed. Parrot used to release a detailed PDF along with their SDK, maybe somebody can hunt down the latest version and see what it says.
