no signal with webcam but is recieving fps

[fierce glacier]

im at my wits end, ive tried to follow tutorials and write up, any help pls

[wide vapor]

I'm with you. I'm getting same issue. Everything looks good, I can see that camera is recognized by the Pi but it won't give me an image. I switched cables, updated firmware and installed the software from scratch to see if it would work. I've followed many different solutions I see posted here and still not getting it. I'm going to hold off and maybe switch to USB camera.

Fix your tags #readme

Have a look inside that log. Your device path is wrong. Log says that the correct path is /dev/video1 and not /dev/video0

Also can be found inside the documentation: https://crowsnest.mainsail.xyz/configuration/cam-section#device

[lilac wolf]

Open another post please, as your issue doesn't sound like the same problem.
Sounds like, you are using a picam. So either you have to follow: https://crowsnest.mainsail.xyz/faq/how-to-setup-a-raspicam#raspicam-not-detected
Or you have to wait until we release the new update

[wide vapor]

I'll wait for next update. I've read and followed the Raspicam instructions. My issue is that it shows my cam bit won't show video. I can wait for next update to try again.

[lilac wolf]

Then just follow the top of the page I linked

The only thing changing with the next update, is that this Raspicam not detected section gets "obsolete"

@lilac wolf I appreciate all your doing and the frustration you must feel saying the same things over and over. Believe me, I've followed everything I could find to get my issue resolved. I'm enjoying the freedom klipper offers me. I'm sure this issue will be resolved and I'll feel dumb for a minor thing I missed. I'd send my .cfg and .logs but im not at home currently. I'll keep following the page you linked when I get home. I'll send them then and upload those files.

We are all just humans, so if someone oversees something, it's just normal. I do a lot of mistakes myself. But this raspicam thing is really nasty atm as some cams (OV5647) don't work and those are like 90% of the support cases for raspicams atm

[wide vapor]

Relating to the raspicam, do you know why some are displaying OV5647 and some imx219

I have the raspicam v2.1 which is imx219

[lilac wolf]

It's the sensor of the raspicam. OV5647 are v1 and some cheap ones. imx219 are v2 and imx708 are v3. There are also arducams, they are most times using the same sensor, but some modified version of libcamera

[fierce glacier]

I noticed that too and changed to dev/video1 and still nothing

[lilac wolf]

Ok, then set log_level: debug and delete_log: true and send a new log

@fierce glacier pls fix your tags #readme

[fierce glacier]

im sorry im trying to but i cant find where to edit a tag?

[fierce glacier]

nvm i got it lol

[lilac wolf]

As noted inside the documentation, please use the /dev/v4l path, as this won't change after reboots.
/dev/v4l/by-id/usb-Suyin_HD_Camera_200910120001-video-index0

[fierce glacier]

so paste this /dev/v4l/by-id/usb-Suyin_HD_Camera_200910120001-video-index0 to log path?

[lilac wolf]

No to your device path

instead of /dev/video1

[fierce glacier]

still nothing

current log

[lilac wolf]

That log still got /dev/video1 and not /dev/v4l/by-id/usb-Suyin_HD_Camera_200910120001-video-index0

[fierce glacier]

sorry i sent slightly old one

[lilac wolf]

That log creation wasn't finished yet, download it again and send it

[fierce glacier]

ok

ty so much for helping

just to remind you im getting fps reading but no siggnal still, if that is info you needed

[lilac wolf]

Now you have changed the path to /dev/v4l/by-id/usb-Suyin_HD_Camera_200910120001-video-index1.................................

Use path /dev/v4l/by-id/usb-Suyin_HD_Camera_200910120001-video-index0 and wait for the log to finish

[fierce glacier]

ive got video now for the first time! it is just extremelyy choppy

thank you for yyour patience

[lilac wolf]

I recommend to use webrtc then. Most likely it's just bandwidth limitation and webrtc can help with that
Look for that at this: https://crowsnest.mainsail.xyz/configuration/cam-section#a-small-note-on-webrtc

[fierce glacier]

i lowered fps and resolutionn and that helped a ton, you have figured it ouit for me thank you soooooo much!!

im ok to close this ticket out, thank you man i really appreciate it
