Further information: I tried with another rosbag (also containing the visualization_msgs/Marker message) and got the same error. I also tried it in MATLAB online, and there it works. I suspect it has something to do with my installed MATLABs using the wrong character encoding when opening the rosbag.
rosbag error message "Unexpected character after type and field"

Hi!
I'm having problems opening a rosbag file in MATLAB R2024a. When only executing the line "bagselect = rosbag("agriData.bag");" I get the following error:
Unexpected character after type and field ' # Scale of the object 1,1,1 means default (usually 1 meter square)':
MSG: visualization_msgs/Marker
# See http://www.ros.org/wiki/rviz/DisplayTypes/Marker and http://www.ros.org/wiki/rviz/Tutorials/Markers%3A%20Basic%20Shapes for more information on using this message with rviz

I have tried this on two different computers running MATLAB 2024a and 2023b. The 2023b has all the toolboxes installed, but for the 2024a I tried a bare bones install with just MATLAB, Simulink and ROS Toolbox. The strangest thing is that two of my colleagues can open this rosbag in MATLAB. At least one of the colleagues is running R2024a on a Windows system like I do.

geometry_msgs/Pose pose
That does not appear to be valid C or C++. It would make more sense if it were
geometry_msgs::Pose pose
or something like that.

It sounds like you are encountering an issue with opening a ‘rosbag’ file in MATLAB R2024a, which might be related to custom message types or compatibility issues. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:
(1) Create New Rosbag Files:
Use ‘rosbagwriter’ to create your ‘rosbag’ files. Note that this function will not work on already existing ‘rosbag’ files. More about this function can be found on this documentation page here: https://www.mathworks.com/help/ros/ref/rosbagwriter.html
(2) Re-record Existing Bag Files:
If the above does not work, consider re-recording the existing bag files in the ROS environment. Here is the workflow to get past the issue:
Register the Custom Message in MATLAB:
Execute rosRegisterMessages('C:\rosbags'); where 'C:\rosbags' is your working directory.
Register the custom message with the ROS Noetic installation as well. More can be found on their respective documentation pages here: https://wiki.ros.org/noetic/Installation
Here, 'catkin_ws' refers to the Catkin Workspace, refer to the details here: https://industrial-training-master.readthedocs.io/en/melodic/_source/session1/Create-Catkin-Workspace.html
Set Up ROS Noetic Workspace:
In the MATLAB command window, extract the catkin_ws.zip file to a location, for example, D:\workspaces\catkin_ws.
Open a ROS Noetic terminal or command window and execute the following commands:
cd D:\workspaces\catkin_ws
catkin_make # Ensure build is successful
call D:\workspaces\catkin_ws\devel\setup.bat
roscore # Start ROS master node
Play and Record Rosbag:
Open two more ROS Noetic command windows.
In one terminal, play the existing bag containing the standard message using:
rosbag play existing_bag.bag
In the new terminal, register the custom message using:
call D:\workspaces\catkin_ws\devel\setup.bat
Record a rosbag with all topics using:
rosbag record -a
This will record a new bag with the custom message.
Run Rosbag in MATLAB:
Open MATLAB, where you have already registered the custom ‘sensor_msgs/Image’ (with the previously suggested workaround for new bag files).
rosbag('filename')
These steps should help resolve the issue with opening ‘rosbag’ files in MATLAB.
