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.

Set the ffmpeg path here:

Then restart octoprint, because there is an error in Octolapse that can sometimes prevent the ffmpeg path from being updated. I haven't figured that out yet.

Thanks, I did find it in the end, but I was expecting it to be in octolapses settings somewhere. Given how vanilla the setup is I would think it's a common problem, and it might be possible to improve the feedback to the user?

FormerLurker commented 3 years ago

It is not a common issue because this is pre-configured within OctoPrint. If you have a snapshot of the error you were seeing (this would just save me a bit of time) and some suggestions for how to make the problem more clear, I'm happy to add this. I'm doing a bunch of plugin work today, so it's a good time!

FormerLurker commented 3 years ago

EDIT: It is pre-configured within OctoPi, not OctoPrint :) I presume you are running on Windows, MacOs, or a custom linux install?

ed-french commented 3 years ago

Nope, on raspbian on pi using image i downloaded a while ago and updated over Christmas

FormerLurker commented 3 years ago

Hmm.. I can't understand then why the ffmpeg path wasn't set. I just flashed a card yesterday and it was set. I will try to find the error message and see if I can't clarify somewhat.

ed-french commented 3 years ago

It was set to something like /usr/bin/(something like avideo but cant remember exactly)

Probably avconv, which should have worked.... Anyway, I can def add a 'help' button with detailed instructions to the error popup.

ed-french commented 3 years ago

Yep, that sounds right The help thing would be good Thanks

The rendering did fail of the print I had on this am, presumably because it needed a restart. Is there anything you'd like me to test/record/check whilst it is in the broken state before I restart? Here are my settings as showing now- test button reports it's OK [image: image.png]

Mine was pre-configured to /usr/bin/avconv and generated an error when I clicked on test. Changing it to /usr/bin/ffmpeg worked and no more error when pressing Test.
