• [X] I have searched the existing issues

OrcaSlicer Version

2.1.1

Operating System (OS)

macOS

OS Version

Sonoma 14.5

Additional system information

Apple M1 Max

Printer

Bambu Labs X1C

How to reproduce

1. Go to the Device tab
2. Click the Camera settings
3. Click Go Live switch
4. Click OK to install Virtual Camera Tools

Actual results

When Virtual Camera Tools reaches 50%, the dialog to install Virtual Camera Tools is invoked again. This cycle appears to repeat indefinitely.

Expected results

Virtual Camera Tools are successfully installed without entering an installation loop. It is worth noting that on Bambu Studio, the download/installation process also only reaches 50%, but it does succeed and Go Live is enabled appropriately.

I can confirm that this behavior (MacBook Pro 14.2" with M1 Pro on Sonoma 14.5 as well) happens even on v2.1.0 (the release before most current).

The same bahavior on Linux. tried both v2.1.1 and latest nightly build.

Slightly different issue on Windows. It gets to 40% downloaded and then says "Failed to install the plug-in. Please check whether it is blocked or has been detected by anti-virus software." Then includes a link to https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-studio/failed-to-get-network-plugin

Just to add another, this also happens to me on macOS 14.6.1 running the latest stable version of Orca v2.1.1.

Same for me BambuStudio no problem in bambu studio. But to clear with 2.0 it installs it after upgrading to 2.2.0 all works till reboot then it only works when bambustudio turns on virtualcamera even if it takes the file from orcaslicer directory. Could it be that virtual camera server is not starting?

I had this on the nightly using windows and then 2.2.0. I removed all instances of Orca from the firewall and then ran the portable version, this time the firewall prompt came up and I approved and it installed the plugin OK and now works.

So the plugin is working in the portable verison, or in the normal install version?

Sorry for the delayed reply.

It is the portable, I never use the normal install as I can run the newer beta version and always go back if needed.

I had about 20 instances of Orca in the firewall so the clean up was long due.

I thought it was an issue with the FW because it got to 40/50% and at that point I would get a FW prompt to allow it through the FW. In this case it didnt come up. I do think a Bug exists, its just I was able to get around it.

Have this problem too, and for a while on nightly, beta and prod version.
