What does your issue have to do with Moonraker?

#

Also send a screenshot of the cam settings in Mainsail

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 3:34 PM

icy hound What does your issue have to do with Moonraker?

when did i say it has to do with moonraker...the documentation entries i showed if there's an error

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 3:37 PM

#

icy hound Also send a screenshot of the cam settings in Mainsail

i hope these are correct images you asked for

You selected the tags, so you said it before you posted it 🤷‍♂️

icy hound May 26, 2025, 3:48 PM

#

humble bluff i hope these are correct images you asked for

The forth one is the one I'm asking for.

#

But the first one tells you the problem

icy hound You selected the tags, so you said it before you posted it 🤷‍♂️

so sorry my bad

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 3:49 PM

#

icy hound But the first one tells you the problem

please point it what i am messing it up

icy hound May 26, 2025, 3:49 PM

#

Look next to the edit icon on the webcams settings panel. You see a light bulb. Click it

#

The first one tells you "No webcam available". This hints that you don't have the camera enabled

#

That means the timelapse module has no idea what it should do, as it doesn't have a snapshot url to take the snapshots from

icy hound May 26, 2025, 3:51 PM

#

humble bluff so sorry my bad

Can you fix them please? The first bot message tells you how 😄

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 3:52 PM

#

icy hound Can you fix them please? The first bot message tells you how 😄

done this , thankyou and now let me fix the camera its been 2 days going crazy

#

#

but here webcam works

icy hound May 26, 2025, 3:56 PM

#

The webcam works, but you have to enable it on hte previous screen

#

On this screen, the light bulb needs to be "activated"

#

After that's enabled, you can select the cam here

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 3:57 PM

#

is this ok now ?

icy hound May 26, 2025, 3:57 PM

#

nope

#

The light bulb is still greyed out

icy hound May 26, 2025, 3:58 PM

#

humble bluff

Btw you set max_fps: 30 in crowsnest, but set 60 target fps in the settings. That's kinda useless. Make them match. Your cam most likely cannot achieve 60, so just put the target fps down to 30

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 3:59 PM

#

ohhh sorry sorry i never touched these settings

#

thought that only is enoigh

#

#

finally its here

icy hound May 26, 2025, 3:59 PM

#

Now it should work

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

is there any quick way to test without a complete print ?

icy hound May 26, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

Manually run the macros

#

Run a few TIMELAPSE_TAKE_FRAME and then TIMELAPSE_RENDER

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 4:01 PM

#

timelapse_render still gave this

icy hound May 26, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

Maybe not enough frames?

#

Can you check the timelapse page? I think there should be a button and a preview of the images

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 4:07 PM

#

icy hound May 26, 2025, 4:09 PM

#

Send your moonraker.log again, after you executed TIMELAPSE_TAKE_FRAME 20 times and then run TIMELAPSE_RENDER

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 4:13 PM

Set log_level: debug and delete_log: true in your crowsnest.conf. Then make sure you don't have the dashboard or webcam panel open and run the command again. Then send the crowsnest.log

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 4:40 PM

#

i closed the dashboard before running the command

icy hound May 26, 2025, 4:43 PM

Where is the log?

I don't need a screenshot of your config and a screenshot of an already known error

#

That's the problem ofc

http://192.168.50.110/webcam is different to http://192.168.50.110:6969/webcam

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 4:59 PM

my klipper is running on this port

icy hound May 26, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

Your klipper?

#

Klipper has no web facing ports

#

You mean Mainsail ig?

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 5:00 PM

#

yes sorry mainsail

icy hound May 26, 2025, 5:00 PM

#

http://192.168.50.110/webcam is showing you an error?

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 5:00 PM

#

yes

icy hound May 26, 2025, 5:01 PM

#

Then just use http://192.168.50.110:6969/webcam in Mainsail cam settings, instead of /webcam

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 5:03 PM

#

is this correct

http://192.168.50.110:6969/webcam/?action=stream

icy hound May 26, 2025, 5:10 PM

#

Yes

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 5:18 PM

#

still same error

icy hound May 26, 2025, 5:18 PM

#

Did you do the same for the snapshot?

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 5:19 PM

#

yes for both

#

http://192.168.50.110:6969/webcam/?action=snapshot

Then I need again a Moonraker and Crowsnest log

Also make sure that /tmp/timelapse actually contains correct images, after you have run TIMELAPSE_TAKE_FRAME

you think issue is with ffmpeg ?

Might be

#

I'm curious about your setup

#

This should be MainsailOS, but your Mainsail is running on port 6969?

#

Why did you change it? Did you change anything else?

#

Maybe an inplace upgrade do Bookworm or similar?

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 6:32 PM

#

icy hound This should be MainsailOS, but your Mainsail is running on port 6969?

yes on port 6969 as the mainsail default port by used for my other service thats why i had to opt for this

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 6:32 PM

#

icy hound Maybe an inplace upgrade do Bookworm or similar?

when i check in /tmp/timelapse i can images being generated

icy hound May 26, 2025, 6:33 PM

humble bluff yes on port 6969 as the mainsail default port by used for my other service thats...

What other services? Just curious?

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 6:33 PM

will take another 5 mins to finally see if it renders the video

icy hound May 26, 2025, 6:33 PM

It most likely won't

humble bluff May 26, 2025, 6:34 PM

a dns to stop ps5 updates

wow it finally did 😄
