Can you set log_level: debug and delete_log: true and make a new log? Before sending the log, make sure that the problem occured at least once

wraith slate May 16, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

Seeing that video its pretty obvious to me, the rootcause will be you USB bandwith. Lower Resolution and framerates and it will be gone.

Look through the file you sent. Line 9903 clearly says verbose and as your file got 10k you didn't set delete_log to true. That's why I asked if it's the wrong file

Ok, didn't check the resolutions before but your fps are at 15 (cam1) and 30 (cam2). That are the lowest supported fps settings

frosty current May 16, 2023, 5:05 PM

#

#

what the actual .....

wraith slate May 16, 2023, 5:07 PM

#

Here is a catch, or better said a "I believe Trap" .... You cant set lower FPS then the camera can provide. Ustreamer will always use framerate according to the choosen resolution

frosty current May 16, 2023, 5:07 PM

#

okay so i have to set the 15 fps for cam1 and 30 for cam2?

wraith slate May 16, 2023, 5:07 PM

#

That said, in your case it uses at 1080p resolution 30FPS per cam

woeful crypt May 16, 2023, 5:08 PM

#

frosty current okay so i have to set the 15 fps for cam1 and 30 for cam2?

No, they are set automatically already as it can't set it lower

``` Thats what your camera is capable of.. So set lower resolution to limit Ustress on USB .

frosty current May 16, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

hm i just made a test... lowered the resolution to standard 640xsomewhat and raised the fps to the hardware minimum

wraith slate May 16, 2023, 5:11 PM

#

Also if cams run over a USB Hub, get rid of it they are to slow..

#

(and probably to few buffer memory on cheapos)

frosty current May 16, 2023, 5:14 PM

#

no i have attached all directly. i thinked to attach it trough a powered usb hub to reduce power consumption but this is not the problem i think....

#

so i have tried to set now i crownsnest all cams to 30fps but then reduce it in the mainsail settings. it seems ti work and raspberry pi cpu is in the range from 5-13% i idle and memory 20-23%

#

it seems to work now... so if it works also tomorrow after night pause( i hope that i could pause during night) then i will close

#

for the moment thanks you for the asap help

#

very happy for this

wraith slate May 21, 2023, 8:57 AM

#

If the log shows nothing unexpected, it is an Hardware issue, but this is hard to debug. I would try to run one camera if there isnt an issue run the other one, if there is also no issue it is simply the combination of both and something is eating up bandwith on the USB side

📎 message.txt

wraith slate May 21, 2023, 2:47 PM

#

As I already mentioned. Your Camera provides only YUYV format, that one takes more bandwith as suggested mjpg. That means there could be multiple bottlenecks be involved. YUYV is re-encoded to MJPG using CPU with ustreamer.

#

I guess it sporadicaly shows "No Signal" screen, without any usable Log output. If thats the case it is likely the USB bandwith suffers

So, I grabbed the cheapest Cam that I could find in my spare box. This cam has also only YUYV and surprisingly it worked just "fine" @frosty current

This cam I bought of an "Euro Shop" at a pricepoint of 2,99€

So, I think best bet is to buy new cams.
