If this is a feature request describe it here

Version of Octolapse

Octolapse Version: 0.2.5

Version of OctoPrint

OctoPrint Version: 1.3.7rc3

When you ran into the problem, did you have diagnostic logging enabled?

Diagnostic Logging was Enabled: NO

What were you doing when the problem occurred

When I look at the control window of Octopi my image is flipped both horizontally and vertically. So...

1. I go to settings and flip the webcam horizontally and vertically. Now, when I observe the control window in Octoprint, the image from the Pi Camera V2 looks correct. Indeed, the Timelapses Ive been getting from the default Timelapse Widget have been "correctly oriented" and have the same orientation as the control tab. However...
2. When I start a print and the MP4 renders from Octolapse, the Octolapse MP4 (when replayed) is flipped horizontally AND vertically. It correctly observes the Webcam Settings! But I am confused as to why control window in Octoprint does NOT? Should I report this bug to Octoprint instead? Or is there perhaps a jumper on the Pi 3B I am missing or on the pi cam version 2? Many thanks for the awesome software - I look forward to getting my videos correctly oriented soon! TIA

What should have happened?

Rendered MP4 should have been correctly oriented.

What happened instead?

Rendered MP4 was upside down and flipped.

So it sounds like Octolapse does what you want it to, right? The control window is showing you the current stream, but Octolapse only cares about snapshots. Also, Octolapse does post processing on the snapshots to rotate them according to the camera profile settings (in Octolapse).

Have you checked here:

If this ends up being a bug, you should report it in the OctoPrint issues for sure. No need to mention Octolapse in this case since I don't believe the two are related (yet, maybe I'm missing something).

Thanks for reporting your issue!

Whether or not this is an Octolapse or an Octoprint bug is a matter of perspective. I would say that octoprint "obeyed" the settings to flip the image wheras Octolapse did not obey them. FWIW I still haven't gotten octolapse to capture snapshots in the correct orientation!

Thanks for making an awesome tool! Sorry for being one!

I plan on allowing multiple cameras in the future, so it's not a good idea to rely on the Octoprint settings for that to work since you could have 2 cameras each with a unique orientation. It may be annoying to configure, but.... it's a feature? Lol.

FYI, I'm a bit confused on one part. Are you using the 'Transpose' feature in Octolapse's camera profiles to get the proper orientation, or is it just right without that setting? FYI, you can also transpose the rendering separately in the rendering settings.

Prior to installing Octolapse, I had a fresh Octopi running on a pi 3B with a pi cam v2 from adafruit. I experienced a flipped image (x and y) in the live webcam stream and also in my (regular stock) Timelapse mpegs.

So then I flipped the image again (x and y) in the Octoprint settings and this remedied my problems in the control tab and also the stock timelapse tab.

But then I installed OctoLapse (which looks awesome btw) except that it has always resulted in a flipped image and mp4 video.

Curiously, it seems that when I reboot the Pi now, it seems to always forcibly change the settings back to having the image flipped (x and y).

So, to be more clear, if I.

1. Deselect the check boxes in OctoPrint settings for webcam x and y axis flip.
2. Restart OctoPrint after Octolapse is installed.
3. Go back into OctoPrint settings and look. Now then settings I deselected in step 1 are Selected again.

So no matter what I do OctoLapse will not let. E flip the orientation!

Best, Andreas

Octolapse does not obey these settings because it will support multiple cameras in the future. There is a transpose option in the OCTOLAPSE camera profiles (settings->Octolapse->Camera) that should fix this. See this:

Great! I’m not in front of my stuff right now but look forward to trying it tomorrow.

Thanks!

@makaper , did this solve your issue?

[makaper]

Yes it did. Working great now. I had an “out of print area” bug when doing a large MK3 print but I’ll submit a proper bug with logging etc if it comes up again.

That's great! Regarding the out of bounds error, I think the mk3 x and y axis start at -3mm, so you may want to check your octoprint printer profile, or you can override it in octolapse printer profiles. I should probably add that to the default settings huh?

I'm closing this issue. If you continue to have problems with out-of-bounds errors, please add a new issue and I'll help you out.

Thanks!

Octolapse does not obey these settings because it will support multiple cameras in the future. There is a transpose option in the OCTOLAPSE camera profiles (settings->Octolapse->Camera) that should fix this. See this:

Sorry to revive this thread. Is there a way to enable all three? (flip vertically, horizontally and left-right) I have my camera mounted upside down so that I could have it point down more. I have set correct orientation in octoprint and my camera is showing correct but right now octolapse still showing upside down.
