1st time setting up a webcam. ive installed crowsnest and created a camera profile in the interface settings. i am using a manta m8p + cb1 so not a ras pi, so im using ustreamer. the log file shows crowsnest is locating the camera on port 8080, and i copied the path to crowsnest.conf. however, the webcam perpetually shows as disconnected. i am currently using mjpeg-streamer and the URL designated by port 8080
#webcam disconnected, crowsnest/mailsail/usb webcam

Ahoi @bright nest!
It looks like you did not provide all the necessary information we need to help you.
Please upload your logfiles and a detailed description of your problem.
For further information see: https://docs.mainsail.xyz/faq/getting-help/discord#provide-information
Note: We only accept .log and .txt files as log files.
This is an automated message
Look closely at your device path. Does it look right as a file path?
that briefly got it working, i saved and rebooted, no longer working, same issue
I don't see your changes, you should provide some more info, or send your log
Where does that #' come from on the last line?
Is that in the log, or some copy paste error?
But that is your error: ERROR: Start of ustreamer [cam arducam] failed!
Set log_level: debug to get a more specific error
that is from the log, just grabbed a new one and its there too
I have a bad feeling what's wrong. Can you remove the # See log for available devices line? Or maybe move it into line 41?
If that doesn't help I need a debug log
I bet it's just a parsing error in Crowsnest. If you add a new line with one or two spaces below the device path, it won't crop it correctly
should i still do this?
Oh, you did not do that?
no
Ok, then I recommend to enable the debug log for now and next time the camera disappears, send the log
Might be after a reboot
stopped working on the next reboot :(
Never saw that error. Kinda funny ^^
ERROR [40.379 ] -- HTTP: Can't bind HTTP on [127.0.0.1]:8080: Success
The error was a success
Login via ssh and add -s to your ~/printer_data/systemd/crowsnest.env
im not quite sure i follow
im not very good at cmd line stuff
Connect with ssh to your cb1
yup, did that
Then run nano ~/printer_data/systemd/crowsnest.env
ok
you should now see a text editor
Move your cursor with the arrow keys to the right
If you are at the last position, click once the left arrow key and then write -s 5
before or after the quotations
ok did that
CROWSNEST_ARGS="-c /home/pi/printer_data/config/crowsnest.conf -s 5"
Should look like that now
it does
Yes, was just a typo twice xD
Send the log again
If you hit the restart button of crowsnest top right in Mainsail, it's working?
is that a delay?
