Version of Octolapse

Octolapse Version:

latest dev version. and master-zip

Version of OctoPrint

OctoPrint Version: 1.3.9

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

1. install it via URL as i can not find it in the plugins manager of octoprint.

What should have happened?

PUT_YOUR_DESCRIPTION_HERE Interface of Octolapse appear somewhere.

What happened instead?

PUT_YOUR_DESCRIPTION_HERE

Noting, I can not start/ configure octoalpe as there is no interface for it.

Operating System running OctoPrint and Octolapse

OS Name: raspiab lastest update was yesterday. Os Version: OS_VERSION_GOES_HERE

@ManuGithubSteam,

Thanks for posting this issue! I have a few questions:

1. Can you post your octoprint.log file somewhere and send me a link?

2. Does the Octolapse install fail completely, or does it succeed, then after rebooting you don't see Octolapse anywhere?

3. When you say you tried the latest dev version, can you post the link you used?

I must say that I'm really confused why you can't find Octolapse within the plugin manager. When I search for 'Octolapse' it shows up just fine. Can you post a screenshot of your search? It's not that I don't believe you, but I'd like to see exactly what you are seeing.

Hi Thanks for looking into it :-)

@ManuGithubSteam,

Thanks for posting this issue! I have a few questions:

1. Can you post your octoprint.log file somewhere and send me a link?

octoprint.log.2018-10-07.zip

2. Does the Octolapse install fail completely, or does it succeed, then after rebooting you don't see Octolapse anywhere?

It succeeds, like octoprint is telling me that the install went ok. But after reboot i see nothing.

3. When you say you tried the latest dev version, can you post the link you used?

I used these links:

https://github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/archive/master.zip https://github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/releases/tag/v0.3.4rc1.dev3

I must say that I'm really confused why you can't find Octolapse within the plugin manager. When I search for 'Octolapse' it shows up just fine. Can you post a screenshot of your search? It's not that I don't believe you, but I'd like to see exactly what you are seeing.

Hope this helps :)

[FormerLurker]

It does help, thanks! It says in the logs that Octolapse 0.3.1 is installed but disabled. It gives a similar message about 0.3.4.rc1.dev3. Can you try the following please:

1. Scroll through your plugins and uninstall all versions of Octolapse that appear. Your log indicates that there may be multiple versions for some reason (probably something I did, lol)
2. Reboot the pi (a real reboot, not just restarting octoprint)
3. Try searching for Octolapse again (it should appear now), but don't install it! Let me know if it does NOT appear.
4. If step 3 succeeded, try installing 0.3.4.rc1.dev3 again from this link: https://github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/releases/tag/v0.3.4rc1.dev3

Let me know how it goes!

[ManuGithubSteam]

Ok i managed to install it.

But:

• Setting: Layer change High Quality is not available.
• Despite adding the G90 Gcode into my starter Gcode sequence Octolapse complains that it does not find it.

I own a Prusa MK3 so what would be the settings for that ?

Start Code: M115 U3.3.1 ; tell printer latest fw version G90 ; use absolute positioning M83 ; extruder relative mode G1 X0 Y200 Z50; home X axis M104 S160 ; set extruder temp M140 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; set bed temp M190 S[first_layer_bed_temperature] ; wait for bed temp M109 S160 ; wait for extruder temp G28 W ; home all without mesh bed level G80 ; mesh bed leveling M104 S[first_layer_temperature] ; set extruder temp M109 S[first_layer_temperature] ; wait for extruder temp G1 Y-3.0 F1000.0 ; go outside print area G92 E0.0 G1 X60.0 E9.0 F1000.0 ; intro line G1 X100.0 E12.5 F1000.0 ; intro line G92 E0.0 M221 S{if layer_height==0.05}100{else}95{endif}

Thanks a lot!

[FormerLurker]

Progress!

Can you export and attach your settings.json file from Octoprint Settings (wrench icon)->Octolapse->Download Settings?

Also, can you please attach your full gcode file and I'll run it through the debugger. I've got a few other requests to deal with today, so I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to get to it until tomorrow, but I promise I'll try!

[ManuGithubSteam]

Ok cool. I was able to fix the G90 problem by putting it in the very top of the start gcode and also in the filament specific code on the very top.

Test_old.zip Settings.zip

Now i get this:

[FormerLurker]

Awesome! However, from looking at your original start gcode, I can tell that there is a bug somewhere. That should have worked.

Now this final issue is actually pretty easy to fix, fortunately! I'd like to fix the MK3 profile so this doesn't happen to other users. Here's what you should do:

Go into your Octolapse Printer Profile and click the following check box:

Override Octoprint Printer Profile

That will show some new controls. Enter the following values XMin:0 XMax:250 YMin:-3 YMax:210 ZMin:0 ZMax:210

Notice that Ymin is negative! That's because the MK3 (and the Mk2) prime outside of the regular print area. Hopefully that fixes your final issues. Let me know if you have more trouble!

[ManuGithubSteam]

Ok i put that in there but now this happens:

Position - Coordinates (X:None,Y:None,Z:None,E:0.00000) are out of the printer area! Cannot resume position tracking until the axis is homed, or until absolute coordinates are received.

This hapens if the extruder has to home x first i belive. Wich he will do every time... Then it homes the axis and then it starts heating up and then mesh bed levling

After that error it does seem not to work anymore.

[FormerLurker]

I looked in Test_old.gcode (the file you sent) and found one line that will cause an error in your start gcode. You have this line:

G1 X0 Y200 Z50; home X axis

Which is definitely not safe to run before homing XZ and Z. I can't see any reason to have this line. If I were you I'd remove it completely.

Second, the file you sent me has only a single layer, and on my debugger when running with your settings.json file (I did have to update the print volume) it takes a picture as expected but does not render a timelapse since it only captured a single frame. If you are printing a different gcode file (not the test_old.gcode file you sent), please send it to me so I can try it out.

Thanks!

[ManuGithubSteam]

Hi i actually tied to print this in the picture above.:

Test_2.zip

As you can see it has many layers but octolapse just stopped after two snapshots.

The whole point of that line of gcode is: The mk3 sometimes takres the shortest route to home the x axis. This is sometimen on the right side. Because the right Endstop ist just closer. So in this circumstance. The Printer thinks that right is the home position wich is obviously false and all the homeing and bed level will fail afterward.

So this line tries to make sure that the left side is always nearer and it will home to that direction.

[FormerLurker]

Thanks for clearing that up. I'll take a look after work. If you've changed your Octolapse settings at all over the last two days, send me a new copy and then I'll have the latest version.

Octolapse should query the printer for a position after the home command is issued using the default settings, but I'll double check to make sure that's happening in this case. I might be able to edit the virtual printer to home to a different location to test.

[ManuGithubSteam]

Hi

No i did not change the settings others that you said here.

I assue the problem is this:

The extruder is somewhere in the the middle or side but not definded region.

Then this happens:

Position - Coordinates (X:None,Y:None,Z:None,E:0.00000) are out of the printer area! Cannot resume position tracking until the axis is homed, or until absolute coordinates are received.

As The printer did not home yet and does not know its position. And as far as i can see as long this message is displayed there is nothing happen in the snap picture department. Im not sure if the bed level prcedure does not set something arwy too and then octolapse is on a toal loss and does not know where it is etc.

I think it would be better to not check for position at all as you know from the gcode line who is printed what you print like infill and then you can desicide: now take a pic....

[FormerLurker]

@ManuGithubSteam, something went wrong when your snapshot profiles were upgraded from v0.3.1 :(

Can you try restoring the default settings (Octoprint Settings (wrench)->Octolapse->restore default settings), reconfigure your printer profile (sorry about that) and try again? I think that should fix it.

The problem is the 'feature detection enabled' setting seems to be missing from your snapshot profile. The 'Layer Change' profile should have vanished when you upgraded, but for some reason it was not.

Let me know how it works!

[ManuGithubSteam]

Hi i reset everything as you said but its not working as you can see here: Printed the same gcode. Still same error at the beginning and then nothing happens anymore.

[FormerLurker]

Try switching to the 'Layer Change - Compatibility' profile. It's best to get that one working before using the high quality profile. You can see in the 'layer trigger' information that it's waiting for features to trigger, which probably means you are running into the 'minimum layer time' (see your slicer settings). The high quality trigger won't work if the slicer slows down a layer because Octolapse can't predict what the speeds will be.

[ManuGithubSteam]

Hi Ok this seems to have worked now i have 700 snapshots.

But: Where can i download the timelapse. Where is it stored?

[FormerLurker]

Check the built-in timelapse tab. It should be there.

[ManuGithubSteam]

Its not :-( Could it be that it is still rendering ? How would i check that ?

Note: I have the build in Timelapse OFF

[FormerLurker]

If you are rendering with one thread (see the rendering advanced settings), it can take a few hours. Look in the octolapse tab and hover over the rendering icon (film strip). However, from your picture earlier it doesn't look like it :( send me logs please.

If you use a sftp client you could browse to the folder and you might be able to grab the images directly. Check /home/pi/. octoprint/data/octolapse/snapshots. There should be subdirectories in there (2 levels deep) that look strange (guids). If your images haven't been purged yet they should be there.

Ug.. sorry for the issues. It's always best to test on a very small print before trying something larger. Maybe do that for your next test?

[FormerLurker]

Oh, check your free space too! If ffmpeg errors out it might not report the issue (need to fix that).

[ManuGithubSteam]

If you are rendering with one thread (see the rendering advanced settings), it can take a few hours.

Its not happening :-( In the rendering Settings I can NOT select how many thread should be used. There is no option for it.

Look in the octolapse tab and hover over the rendering icon (film strip). However, from your picture earlier it doesn't look like it :( send me logs please.

Nothing did happen...

This is the command i try:

/home/toni/1/gpu_avconv -framerate 10 -loglevel error -i "/home/toni/.octoprint/data/octolapse/snapshots/a30f7df3-8ca2-473f-a901-000f220fefc8/354def78-9eea-409a-ad23-ee966dfff4ba/new_v09_0.2mm_PETG000000.jpg" -threads 1 -r 25 -y -b 125000k -vcodec mpeg4 -vf '[f0] format=yuv420p [out]' "/home/toni/.octoprint/data/octolapse/timelapse/new_v09_0.2mm_PETG_20181014185123.mp4"

This does do something but there is no output file yet.

So question: How do i get that into the octolapse config that i dont need to do that by hand ?

If it works that is. I will report back :)

[ManuGithubSteam]

Ok the command i used above does indeed work. I got my timelapse. But it seems my settings from octolapse (plus 10 seconds post roll) are not honoured....

However while that timelapse was rendering, i was printing some more and there was no timelapse for that.

So my question:

Where do i have to hack code or script to automathe that process like it should be:

• No manual selection of the to render picture folder
• Autostart of the render after last pic is taken

On a informative note: Why is this so complex and not inlcuded in the code already ? Or is it just "me" ?

Thanks

[ManuGithubSteam]

@FormerLurker Any news on an update ? Thanks

[FormerLurker]

Sorry, I'm out of town so it's been difficult to look at any complex issues.

Why is this so complex and not inlcuded in the code already ? Or is it just "me" ?

Unfortunately, it is only you as far as I know. At least nobody else has reported any rendering errors like this before. Octolapse is supposed to automatically render, but according to the logs I have seen from you there is a permission error (Could not open file "mp4" for writing.).

So, from your logs I see the path to avconv is /home/toni/1/gpu_avconv. I've never heard of gpu_avconv, did you install that yourself? Also, can you try something for me? Please try to use the built-in timelapse functionality (timelapse tab) and see if that has the same error? If it does, then we will know for sure that it is a simple permission issue.

Again, sorry about the delay. I should be back in town by Sunday (hopefully).

[ManuGithubSteam]

Hello FormerLurker,

No worries i just wanted to know if you still work on it.

I changed the path back to the normal avconv (/usr/bin/avconv) and will retry a print. See how this goes. GPU_avconv is a patched version of avconv and it should distrubute rendering load also to the gpu of the raspi. Yes i tried that out.

It works with the normal timeplase function without problems (assuming the normal timelapse function does use the path provided in the Octoprint config..)

I will report back how the normal avconv is doing :-)

[ManuGithubSteam]

Ok i tired with the normal timelapse and the files get created (build in timelapse function) but they are empty. I belive this could be beacuse the camera does not point onto the headbed because my cam holder broke and it is filming the same pice of white wall all the time ?

Also i get this errors:

Octolapse Rendering Failed return-code: Could not render movie, got return code 1: [mpeg4 @ 0x16ef820] bitrate tolerance too small for bitrate Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height

Ok there is a new kid on the block. Same setup as before: Octolapse Startup Failed Unable to start the timelapse. Cancelling print. Error: An unknown exception occurred while testing the 'F100 Wide' camera profile. Check plugin_octolapse.log for details.

This looks like a camera URL issue. Can you send me your camera settings for 'Base Address' and 'Snapshot Address Template'?

Here is the default: Base Address: http://127.0.0.1:8080/ Snapshot Address Template: {camera_address}?action=snapshot

Also, regarding this comment:

Ok i tired with the normal timelapse and the files get created (build in timelapse function) but they are empty.

Can you elaborate? I wonder if there was an error in the OctoPrint logs, or if your suspicion was correct about the camera holder. Regarding the bitrate error (bitrate tolerance too small for bitrate), can you post your rendering setting for bitrate and fps?

Thanks for sticking with the debug process! I'm looking forward to getting things working for you... eventually :)

Base adress: http://127.0.0.1:8080/

Strean url from normal timelapse (I can see a picture there when i press test)

/webcam/?action=stream

Snapschot Adr. Template: {camera_address}?action=snapshot

From normal timeplase function:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/?action=snapshot

Also when i press test in Octolapse it reports, that it is fining a camera and snapshot came back ok.

Here is the default: Base Address: http://127.0.0.1:8080/ Snapshot Address Template: {camera_address}?action=snapshot

Also, regarding this comment:

Can you elaborate? The size is 0 byte.

Thanks for sticking with the debug process! I'm looking forward to getting things working for you... eventually :) Thanks i can say the same to you :-) I really want this to work :-) Normal timelapses are boring.....

[FormerLurker]

Regarding the camera address, what happens when you paste this URL into your browser: (note that you'll have to enter your PI address where indicated) http://INSERT_YOUR_PI_IP_ADDRESS_HERE:8080/?action=snapshot

This should return a still image. Let me know.

Regarding your bitrate, 125000K is REALLY high.. It probably violates some avconv checks unless your images are super duper high resolution. Try using 10000K instead.

Ok Thanks ! but i did not change that settings. > Check you defaults ?

[FormerLurker]

Hmm.. The default is set to 6000K for each rendering profile. Perhaps your cursor got stuck somewhere and it accidentally got changed? If not that I'm going to blame file corruption :)

Can you take a snapshot of your Octolapse tab showing the Camera profiles? I'm wondering if maybe you have more than one camera enabled. Here's what I'm wanting to see:

F100 is a copy of default i just changed the name.

[FormerLurker]

Thanks for posting that, but it doesn't illuminate the issue sadly.

Are you maybe running behind a proxy or something? I've been searching that error, and proxies seem to be a common cause. I'll keep digging.

[ManuGithubSteam]

Hi I have a reverse proxy for the Octroprint but all of octoprint is "inside"/behind the proxy so it should work right ?

Sadly i will not be able to work on the printer for some days now. I will check back and test mid/end next week.

Thanks for sticking with this...

[ManuGithubSteam]

Hi, Just to inform you: My webcsam has broken down. Till i have a new one and a new octiprint insall i will not be able to report back...

[FormerLurker]

So, this issue has been stale for a while, and there have been a TON of changes to the camera profiles and settings since our last communication. I'm going to go ahead and close this issue, but if you'd like me to reopen it, please let me know! Also, you could easily create another issue too, since the initial problem is different from the last issue we were talking about.

Thank you for your post!
