Please consider becoming a patron

If you like this project, please support my work by becoming a patron, and consider adding a 'star' to the repository. It takes a lot of time and effort to maintain the project and respond to issues. The cost of test prints, software, cameras, printer parts, etc. can quickly add up, so every bit helps.

All of my past prints (both successful and failed ones) have had videos created successfully using this version of Octolapse. This is the first time this has happened. How do I go about using the existing snapshots to create a video?

UPDATE: I downloaded all the jpeg files and uploaded them back as an archive and generated a video rendering.

It could be that the rendering thread crashed for some reason (out of memory perhaps depending on the codec), but I don't see any exceptions in the log. If this happens again, try restarting OctoPrint and see if the failed rendering shows up in the Octolapse tab (should be a big red button on the tab). If you can replicate the issue I think we could log it and figure out what is going on.

I'm also experiencing this issue, it creates the snapshots but then does not output a video. I don't see any exceptions in my log, and when I restart octoprint it shows the red button saying there are unfinished timelapses. Clicking it and rendering the timelapses then succeeds.

[FormerLurker]

@sanmadjack, perhaps you could enable logging of the rendering module? Edit the 'logging' profile, and add this logger:

Just click 'customize Profile', check 'Additional Logging', select 'octolapse.render' as the module to log, select 'Verbose' as the logging level, and click the blue plus to add the logger. That way, the next time the logger fails we should at least some details about the most recent completed operation, which should narrow in on the problem.

Since you didn't see any exceptions, something must be failing that isn't caught properly, which is in itself an error.

Thanks!

[sanmadjack]

Unfortunately (?) the print I did after restarting successfully produced a timelapse. I'll turn on that logging and if it happens again I'll post here.

Cool. Will leave this issue open for a while.
