trying to play back images from multiple cameras in rxbag causes both videos to flip between cameras

I have two urdf files: one of a robot w/ a front camera and the other of a camera that I have floating in the air as a top view perspective.

The cameras in the xacro files are as follows: (camera.urdf.xacro)

<gazebo reference="camera_optical_frame">
    <sensor:camera name="top_view_camera_sensor">
        <imageSize>640 480</imageSize>
        <imageFormat>R8G8B8</imageFormat>
        <hfov>90</hfov>
        <nearClip>0.01</nearClip>
        <farClip>100</farClip>
        <updateRate>10.0</updateRate>
        <controller:gazebo_ros_camera name="top_camera_controller" plugin="libgazebo_ros_camera.so">
            <alwaysOn>true</alwaysOn>
            <updateRate>10.0</updateRate>
            <imageTopicName>top_view/image_raw</imageTopicName>
            <interface:camera name="top_camera_iface" />
        </controller:gazebo_ros_camera>
    </sensor:camera>
    <turnGravityOff>true</turnGravityOff>
    <material>Gazebo/Blue</material>
</gazebo>

And the one for the robot is similar:

<gazebo reference="base_camera_optical_frame">
    <sensor:camera name="base_camera_sensor">
        <imageSize>640 480</imageSize>
        <imageFormat>R8G8B8</imageFormat>
        <hfov>90</hfov>
        <nearClip>0.01</nearClip>
        <farClip>100</farClip>
        <updateRate>10.0</updateRate>
        <controller:gazebo_ros_camera name="base_camera_controller" plugin="libgazebo_ros_camera.so">
            <alwaysOn>true</alwaysOn>
            <updateRate>20.0</updateRate>
            <imageTopicName>my_robot/camera</imageTopicName>
            <frameName>base_camera_optical_frame</frameName>
        </controller:gazebo_ros_camera>
    </sensor:camera>
    <turnGravityOff>true</turnGravityOff>
    <material>Gazebo/Blue</material>
</gazebo>

When I try and view the "image" of each camera back in rxbag I get images from both cameras in each video. Is something wrong in my setup?

Both cameras display fine during runtime with image_view.

This might be related to this bug. You can check with rosbag info if that is the case for your logfile.

Looks like a similar problem, but all of my topics were recorded in the bag file. I made the changes in the patch but still no luck. Thanks for the response, though! Any other ideas what it could be?

Definitely sounds like it could be the bug that @dornhege pointed to. Does `rosbag info` show that both of the image topics are in the .bag file? If you post your .bag somewhere, I can have a look at it.

Actually that was the problem. I built rxbag and not rosbag. Thanks for pointing that out to me!
