Tkinter error freezes camera feed

[courtneysmith77]

Hi, I have been getting this error for quite some time and I am struggling to find a solution. My camera works very well for the first 30ish seconds of flight but then I get these errors:

Exception ignored in: <function Variable.__del__ at 0x74ff8a325fc0>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/tkinter/__init__.py", line 388, in __del__
if self._tk.getboolean(self._tk.call("info", "exists", self._name)):
RuntimeError: main thread is not in main loop
[INFO] tello.py - 462 - Response forward 25: 'ok'
Exception ignored in: <function Variable.__del__ at 0x74ff8a325fc0>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/tkinter/__init__.py", line 388, in __del__
if self._tk.getboolean(self._tk.call("info", "exists", self._name)):
RuntimeError: main thread is not in main loop

I am still able to send commands to the drone, but then I get this error that follows when looking at the camera again:

Exception ignored in: <function Variable.__del__ at 0x74ff8a325fc0>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/tkinter/__init__.py", line 388, in __del__
if self._tk.getboolean(self._tk.call("info", "exists", self._name)):
RuntimeError: main thread is not in main loop
Exception ignored in: <function Image.__del__ at 0x74ff8a191750>
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.10/tkinter/__init__.py", line 4056, in __del__
self.tk.call('image', 'delete', self.name)
RuntimeError: main thread is not in main loop

I'm not well educated on the multi-threading aspects of python, so I'm don't know where to begin debugging this problem. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello,

I faced many issues with developing Python applications for the Tello drone, especially when using Tkinter for the GUI. That's actually why I started my YouTube channel, Jake's Science Shop. I've posted a few videos that cover how to stream video from the Tello drone and display it in a Tkinter GUI window. These might help you figure out the issue you're facing or implement a solution. Here is a link to the series that covers programming a drone controller GUI with Tkinter for the Tello drones that might be of help.

While these videos might not address your specific issue directly, I hope they can point you in the right direction. I know this might seem like I'm just trying to promote my channel, but my genuine intention is to help others overcome the problems I faced when programming the Tello drones. If sharing this here can help, then I'm all for it!
