I was having a similar problem. I ended up having to look to see how the camera was listed in /dev . For me the cam i was wanting was listed as /dev/video1 .
vestal hemlock
It's listed in the log, that's why we got that bot to ask for logs automatically, as a log would help here and in most other cases too
agile crest
mine is dev video10
idk how to pull the log
as, this is crownsnest stand alone, nothing else on the pi

sftp client

sftp client
run as sudo sftp client??
agile crest
e.g. on windows winscp
can i ssh into via that, or do i need to pull the sd card?
vestal hemlock
just google what winscp or a sftp client is and the question should answer itself

ok which specific logs do you need?
vestal hemlock
Please look at your log and tell me again, which device it should be
agile crest
video 0?? honestly no clue..
vestal hemlock
The answer would be actually, "Don't use Crowsnest"
You only got a libcamera
That won't work with ustreamer and on the Pi5 you only got ustreamer with Crowsnest
Therefore you should install Spyglass instead: https://github.com/mryel00/spyglass
agile crest
was just testing with a csi camera, but im going to be using usb cameras, are usb cameras also lib??
vestal hemlock
no, they are not
It's hard to help you, if you give me a log, with a setup that you don't even want to use. I won't go through the whole log, just to find the point where you had the correct setup
agile crest
ok, ill connect reconfigure with usb setup, and if it doesnt work, use spyglass. didnt know csi wouldnt work, as on the pi4 it did work with csi
vestal hemlock
Yes, but as you can read in the log/on my screenshot, we don't support it on the Pi5 yet
Overall I don't recommend to use a Pi5 for any webcam tasks
agile crest
yeah, thats where i was getting confused
vestal hemlock
Are you only using it for cams right now?
agile crest
yeah, the pi is a secondary pi just for cameras, thats it
having usb cameras on my other pi causes usb bus overload which causes failed prints due to mcu connection issues
vestal hemlock
yeah, the pi is a secondary pi just for cameras, thats it
Then you should swap out the Pis. The Pi5 is the worst Pi for cams.

damn.... XD just replaced the rpi3 for the 5 due to horrible fps on the 3 lol
vestal hemlock
FPS are nearly always network related. The Pi5 does not have better network.
The Pi3 can use webrtc, which will use less bandwidth and therefore most likely result in higher fps

thats what i was thinking, tested the speeds and was getting like 5mbps down, 1.4up, got a tplink, got it to 17 down, 7 up. fps still sucked
vestal hemlock
I recommend to use the by-id path, that the path won't change after reboots, or plugging in multiple cams
agile crest
ok ill research what by by-id path is. never had issues with video paths changing on pi 4, this unit will have 2 cameras plugged in, maybe 3 if i decide on doing a nozzle camera.
agile crest
your talking about video 0 and video 2 kinda thing or?
vestal hemlock
That's the path that can change, yes
That's the portion of the log
First the by-id path, then the corresponding /dev/video path
agile crest
ahh, so lookign at it online, it locks the serial for the cameras to the specific video path? so as in maybe if the camera gets unplugged plugged into wrong usb it locks it?
vestal hemlock
Yes, the by-id path, won't change
agile crest
ahhh makes sense,... yeah that would be a good idear
vestal hemlock
You can switch usb ports, plug the cams back in in different order and so on. The by-id path is always the same
agile crest
as you can tell im very linux illiterate
vestal hemlock
Like 95% of the people that use Klipper ^^
vestal hemlock
For basic linux stuff, it's really good. For klipper stuff, it's pretty bad
agile crest
helped me with small things klipper, but yeah rest was github and discord
