Unable to visualise point cloud from rosbag file in RViz

edit

I'm now trying your suggestion rosrun tf static_transform_publisher 0 0 0 0 0 0 map camera_depth_optical_frame 100 but the point cloud still doesn't show (screenshot) Is your configuration like this?

you bag is pretty short (7secs) and maybe it fails to load it the first time. Try adding a looping when replaying the bag and check if it picks up the cloud:

rosbag play --clock -l astra.bag

That's what I thought too and I've tried the -l flag, but still no point cloud. Did you have to make any special setting to get it to show?

do you get any warnings/errors when you launch your RViz config?

The only warning I get is [ WARN] [1567081149.663349526]: Messages of type 1 arrived closer (0.031979627) than the lower bound you provided (0.500000000) (will print only once). But I get that when I feed straight from the camera in real-time as well (which works fine).

yes I get the same. There is something wrong with starting RViz with defined config. Try to disable and enable the plugins one by one. Also re-select the same topics and fixed frame when you load your RViz config. This fixed it for me

Strange. Do you mind uploading your config somewhere? I've tried reselecting the topics and fixed frame, but still on point cloud. My rviz is a fresh install and I don't have any custom plugin.

well I am not using any custom plugins but you can still try with my config. If it does not work try re-selecting the fixed_frame, uncheck and check the DepthCloud display and re-select the two topics within it
