Upgrading to Crowsnest 4.0.2.2 Results in "errored: null" for both cameras | Mainsail | Page 1

I have a generic USB endoscope that I use as a nozzle cam as well as an Arducam with automatic nightvision for a bed monitoring camera - plugged in to the PiCam header on a Raspberry Pi 3B+. These both worked fine under Crowsnest 3.0 (albeit at a low frame rate). Even the night vision turned on automatically. I took the upgrade to Crowsnest 4.0 and I now see "errored: null" displayed for both cameras.

I ran an uninstall on V3 before upgrading to V4. I added the camera settings from my old crowsnest.conf file to the new conf and updated the mode for each to "camera-streamer". I also updated the settings in Mainsail to "Camera Streamer" and "webcam/webrtc" for both cams. No luck. Next, I verified that legacy support was still set to no in raspi-config and edited the /boot/config.txt file to include the "dtoverlay=ov5647" to the "[All]" section thinking that would at least get the Arducam back. No dice.

Next, I ran the libcamera-hello --list-cameras command and verified that it found both cameras and verified the device identifier for both is the same in the crowsnest.conf file. Rebooted several times - still no dice.

Latest crowsnest.conf and Crowsnest log entry attached to post.

Any thoughts or tips are greatly appreciated! TIA.

Please fix your tags #readme

#

Where do you see that error "errored: null"?

#

Also send the output of libcamera-hello --list-cameras

past egret Where do you see that error `"errored: null"`?

It shows up in the dashboard for Mainsail.

Lol never seen that ^^

#

What service do you use in the Mainsail UI webcam settings?

Current service settings. Also, libcamera-hello is now showing only one camera? USB connection may have timed out.Available cameras

Change the service to WebRTC (camera-streamer)

OK - That helped some. The USB camera came back (albeit all flipped and backwards). But, the Arducam is still down for the count. It did clear that errored:null message though.

You might want to switch to adaptive for your usb cam to flip the cam, if your camera doesn't support flipping

#

Set delete_log: true and log_level: debug in your crowsnest.conf and send a new log

sage lintel Jul 24, 2023, 4:54 PM

#

Perfect. Webcam is flipped back to normal now. l'm making those changes and will post a new log.

Interestingly enough, the Arducam does not even seem to be powering up now when the pi boots.

Send your /boot/config.txt

Delete those two lines

Then reboot

Still no love. The camera still isn't powering on. Attaching the latest Crowsnest log.

Ok, then two options for you to try, you can downgrade to v3 for now or patch v4. That patch will be hopefully integrated into crowsnest in a few weeks.

sage lintel Jul 24, 2023, 5:21 PM

That's cool. I can wait a few weeks. I really appreciate the help! I've enabled update notifications. So, I'll look for that patch when it drops.
