So I just switched to Crows nest.
Running raspberry pi4 Mainsail OS on a Voron2.4
Somehow the webcam stops after a couple of seconds when I restart Crows nest service. Any help is appreciated!

A crowsnest.log is appreciated 😜
pliant depot
On it!
Doesn't help if I change it to 800x600
Which is actually a supported format

What UI do you use? Mainsail or Fluidd? And which service (mjpg, adaptive mjpg, webrtc)?
pliant depot
Mainsail
sleek obsidian
Oh, I see you are on Buster, so no webrtc. Do you use adaptive mjpg or mpg then?
pliant depot
Got it on adaptive right now
sleek obsidian
Ok, plaese set log_level: debug and send a new log, after that issue appears again
sleek obsidian
Send the file please
Also run dmesg > ~/printer_data/config/dmesg.txt and send the dmesg.txt that can be found on the machine page with your configs
pliant depot
There we go
I don't see anything particularly wrong except for can't set input channel
sleek obsidian
Also run `dmesg > ~/printer_data/config/dmesg.txt` and send the `dmesg.txt` that...
That's why I asked for the dmesg output
What exact model is that Brio Logitech? Some browsing on the models let me think that this series of cams might not be compatible with Linux
pliant depot
Had it working at one point with webcamd
sleek obsidian
Then might be a problem with ustreamer 🤷♂️
sleek obsidian
Can you send a screenshot of ls ~/printer_data/config?
Maybe it's just on the second page of the configs?
pliant depot
sleek obsidian
Seems like you didn't execute it correctly maybe?
Or maybe I'm just dumb ^^
No, the command should be correct
sleek obsidian
It should be inside ~/printer_data/config
ls ~ will be printing the files in your home btw
sleek obsidian
About some deeper errors
sleek obsidian
Nope
pliant depot
I am btw on the legacy build
sleek obsidian
It shows overall messages from the kernel

I already saw this ^^
But this shouldn't matter for this
pliant depot
fixed it
int input = dev->input; // Needs a pointer to int for ioctl()
LOG_INFO("Using input channel: %d", input);
if (xioctl(RUN(fd), VIDIOC_S_INPUT, &input) < 0) {
LOG_ERROR("Can't set input channel");
return -1;
}
commented this out in the device.c file of ustreamer
sleek obsidian
I wouldn't do that ^^
Also the dmesg output might help
sleek obsidian
Most likely there is a reason for an exit. There might be no problems, but it could also create problems
sleek obsidian
which I don't have
Then run again dmesg > ~/printer_data/config/dmesg.txt and send a screenshot/picture of the console
pliant depot
Ok the fix wasn't actually the fix
I ran sudo make config
And with the option apply raspi fix
I chose yes
That was the fix
sleek obsidian
This shouldn't have fixed anything.....That fix is for something completely different 🤔
pliant depot
Yeah
Somehow it worked
What was it suppose to fix?
Btw how can I open a direct stream
sleek obsidian
What was it suppose to fix?
The raspicams will randomly be mapped to something else than /dev/video0. On Buster this fix will make them to map always to /dev/video0
pliant depot
Owyeah I read that
sleek obsidian
Btw how can I open a direct stream
http://<ip.of.your.pi>/webcam/?action=stream
pliant depot
Aah ok
So that wasn't also a fix
It is probably webcamd taking over because crowsnest is failing to start
sleek obsidian
Run systemctl disable webcamd
If it succesfully disables, then you might be right
If no service is found, then it's not running
Then I need the dmesg output somehow (copy paste, screenshot, the command I send, ....)
pliant depot
Update: I did a fresh install now the camera works properly with crowsnest. Probably some old residu is messing too much with the services.
