I can see it on the Webcam menu, but can't find it on the Timelapse configuration.

post a screenshot from your webcam settings

inner sigil
#

you have to enable the webcam, but i think you use an elegoo printer. do you have a warning on the right top in mainsail?

violet python
#

I use a CR-10 SE. No, there's no warning

#

I mean, I can see the webcam stream, but the name Nebula doesn't appear on the timelapse dropdown menu

inner sigil
#

do you enabled it?

#

i think you only see the "Camera", which is in your moonraker.conf

violet python
inner sigil
#

You have to enable the webcam in the webcam settings!

violet python

#

Am I missing something? I don't see a option to enable it

inner sigil
#

In the list

violet python
inner sigil
#

no. in the webcam list!

violet python
#

by the way, why there are two?

inner sigil
violet python
#

What should I change here?

inner sigil
#

nothing.. because you dont need this one!

#

this is just the second one (called camera). you have to enable the other one

inner sigil
#

ok. then pls post a screenshot of all versions you have installed

violet python
#

Sorry, versions of what?

inner sigil
#

all parts you have installed

violet python
inner sigil
#

do you use creality os?

violet python
#

Installed klipper via helper script a few days ago

inner sigil
#

do you use a creality OS as base image?

violet python
#

I guess so? It's a nebula pad

inner sigil
#

creality makes same strange things, but i dont think it is an issue with that...

(pls the text, and not a screenshot)

sry. i hadnt time to double check it before. so all informations are in your output, so it should be there...

mainsail only check the snapshot_url if it exists and if it is enabled. both is true on both webcams in your webcam db

#

can you pls post your moonraker config? just to reproduce your second webcam, to doublecheck it

violet python
inner sigil
# violet python

sry. hadnt time to check it until now. i will ping you, if i had a update

inner sigil
# violet python What should I change here?

sry for the long delay. you cannot choose any webcan, because you added the "snapshoturl" in your [timelapse] section in your moonraker.conf. if you set this setting, the gui disable this field.

violet python
#

So should I just comment that line?

inner sigil
#

yes, or change it to the url you want. depends on what you want to do.

#

i will also add a "warning" in the gui to make this behavior better visible

violet python
#

I just want to record my prints hahah

inner sigil
#

the url looks right in your moonraker.conf. so it should work

inner sigil
#

@violet python i think this should be much more visible with that:

violet python
#

So I should comment this line to make it visible in the gui?

inner sigil
#

yes

violet python
#

Can I do it while printing something? Will it restart klipper?

inner sigil
#

depends on your setup. i would just wait...

violet python
#

@inner sigil Thanks to your help, I was able to get the .zip with the frames, but this error pops when I try to render the timelapse on Mainsail. Can you help me troubleshoot it?

rotund glacier
#

This is a k1....

#

Ask for help on the github of the root script.

violet python
#

What do you mean? I found it weird that there was a "k1_" in the name of the .zip.

#

But my machine is a CR-10 SE

rotund glacier
#

That's clearly a k1 path

#

Or is that with the speederpad, or whatever the creality thing was called

violet python
#

So I should manually change it?

rotund glacier
#

Tell me what your device is that you ssh into

#

Currently I know your printer, but not your host

violet python
rotund glacier
#

Then no support from us

#

We simply cannot and don't want to support their stuff.

violet python
#

Understandable

violet python
rotund glacier
#

You can try to install a newer version of ffmpeg, but no idea if that works

#

There was some similar issue with the k1 and someone opened an issue with useful information on the timelapse repo
