Hi Everyone, I have a weird behavior and coming to the source to find-out what is the trick .
I have crownest configured for the Camera. booting the printer, I get a grey square instead of the camera view.
IF I go to config file, add a space for ex in some comment area, save ( with automatic restart), after few times 2 or 3, or ..6 ! ) I finally get the proper camera picture. Anyone would have insight on the possible cause ?
do not know if it may be linked to klipper or mainsail. ( or both ..)
Thanks for your help

#

That's not a log file, that's just some area that you think looks good

#

And the best thing is, that's even a log part when it work, so basically useless to troubleshoot your problem

#

Wait it gets even better, that's from 20.09, so nearly two weeks old

@midnight bolt : it's all my problem, it is chaotic. Will provide .txt and log files just fresh

#

here are the 2 files, from last boot of the printer ( ie , video was not working )
