Revision history [back]

In my case it didn't work if I had recorded the bagfile with

$ rosbag record -O testbag1.bag scan tf

but it did work quick & dirty when I had used

$ rosbag record -a

I am very new to ROS and I only assume there is another necessary topic recorded among all topics when using "-a" which is related to tf transform as Lorenz and allenh1 mentioned.
