so I see tons of people have exact same issue as me with c920 low fps etc, I have followed some of the other advice in the channel and support channel to no avail. My cam is connected direct to rpi4(real rpi4) no powered hub yet but I tried setting up with camera-streamer mode and using /webcam/webrtc results in zero picture. I only get picture if i add it in adaptive mjpg mode. The other day I was getting steady 15-30fps on this camera with my settings everything was BEAUTIFUL . I changed literally nothing and today it was back to low fps or not showing up at all.

I have also Made the camera-streamer folder clean as indicated in another post.

fyi I do have 3do nozzle cam which as of a few days ago decided it doesnt show up anymore. I also have a RPI camera connected via dsi cable which ive never been able to get to work let alone detect but thats neither here nor there.

This issue is related to building camera-streamer manually. The underlying package libcamera got an update and that breaks the manually compiled version of camera-streamer. So this issue can happen again.
To fix it run following commands via ssh:

cd ~/crowsnest
make update
main parrot
#

Btw you still didn't fix your tags, please fix those #readme

It "decided" after you made system packages update

#

Or do you mean it doesn't show up in the log?

#

I also have a RPI camera connected via dsi cable
It's CSI btw. CSI ist for camera and DSI is for display

#

Therefore send an image of your pi, you might have connected it wrong.

#

Looking at your /boot/config.txt reveals that you have made weird choices for your settings:

# start_x=1
#camera_auto_detect=1

Commenting both out, will never show up a CSI cam, as you basically disabled all drivers, unless you specify the dtoverlay manually.
Mentioning dtoverlay:

#Camera Module 3 (IMX708)
#dtoverlay=imx219
```Is it a v2 or v3? v2 is `imx219` and v3 is `imx708`. I recommend to let that commented and delete the `#` in front of `camera_auto_detect=1`
#

If you got a touchscreen connected, it will get more complicated. I won't look at dmesg for now, as tehre are enough other problems atm

I actually today did a fresh pi image so everything above is semi moot. What can i re provide you with a clean install of pi.

#

And I have the rpi camera in the right slot just said wrong port.

#

3do nozzle again has disappeared. I also added a powered USB hub hoping this would be the fix. it so far has not been the fix.

#

Dmesg from the clean install now ^

Fix your tags #readme

Please use the /dev/v4l/by-id paths and set delete_log: true and log:level: debug in your crowsnest.conf. Then try to connect once or twice and send a new log
