Arduino H7 Video Header File Missing

Hardware GIGA Display Shield
1

I have just purchased a Arduino GIGA Display Shield and downloaded the libraries: - Arduino GIGA Display, Arduino GIGA Display GFX and Arduino GIGA Display Touch.
To try out the display, I selected the Basic example from the Arduino GIGA Display GFX menu and connected the display to a UNO R4 WiFi board and clicked on the Verify button. The following error message was displayed: - In file included from C:\Users\wood4\AppData\Local\Temp.arduinoIDE-unsaved2024106-16428-1v0ocvk.vkgl\Basic\Basic.ino:1:0:
c:\Users\wood4\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Arduino_GigaDisplay_GFX\src/Arduino_GigaDisplay_GFX.h:5:10: fatal error: Arduino_H7_Video.h: No such file or directory
#include "Arduino_H7_Video.h"
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
exit status 1

Compilation error: exit status 1

I tried to search for the Arduino_H7_Video header file in the library, but it does not exist.
After looking for a solution on the Forum, I tried uninstalling the files mentioned above and then installing them again, but the Arduino_H7_Video.h file was not included in any of the files.
Am I doing something wrong or am I not looking for the right file?
Ant advice would be much appreciated.

Hi @paw1965. The GIGA Display Shield is intended to be used with the GIGA R1 WiFi board. The "Arduino_H7_Video" library is bundled with the "Arduino Mbed OS Giga Boards" platform that adds support for the GIGA R1 WiFi to Arduino IDE. So when you are using a GIGA R1 WiFi board, the library is available by default, but if you are using an UNO R4 WiFi board, the library can't be used.

Since the Arduino_H7_Video library is a dependency of the Arduino_GigaDisplay_GFX library, you also won't be able to use that library with the UNO R4 WiFi board.

The most simple way forward would be to switch to using the GIGA R1 WiFi board instead of the UNO R4 WiFi. The GIGA Display Shield plugs right into the special headers on the GIGA R1 WiFi so you will find it very convenient.
