3 years ago Hi there, as the error message indicates, this plugin is not compatible with Python 2. You will need to upgrade your OctoPrint install to Python 3 to use it.
Please see: https://octoprint.org/blog/2020/09/10/upgrade-to-py3/

3 years ago Adding an additional note in case people find this (not) bug in the future. This is an example of the OctoPrint (program) being different to the OctoPi (distribution) I had been upgrading OctoPrint, but had missed the fact that the version of OctoPi I was using did not include Python3.
As well as the link above, this one describes it well. https://octoprint.org/blog/2021/01/25/octopi-release-0-18-0/
Thanks @The-EG for the prompt reply, I figured it had to be something I was missing since other 190 people had successfully installed this week :)

3 years ago Actually, it's possible to upgrade your existing OctoPi image to Python 3 in most cases. That is what the post I linked explains and it also contains a script that automates the process.
OctoPi is actually just a configured version of Raspberry Pi Linux with OctoPrint, mjpg-streamer and other things pre-configured. Version 0.17 certainly does have Python 3 available, it just has to be installed and enabled.
There's certainly nothing wrong with just flashing 0.18 as a means to upgrade, but if you want to upgrade your existing setup just run the script as described in the blog post.

3 years ago Thanks @The-EG
I had followed the script in the link you suggested, just because I wanted to print something and the quality of my image had been annoying me and I wanted to use your plugin to fix it - it worked great BTW - Thanks :)
I will eventually reflash since as it says in the link I posted.
Normally there’d be no pressing need to reflash, however since this image finally ditches Python 2 in favour of Python 3, which apart from continued support also adds some nice performance improvements, you might want to switch sooner rather than later.
As I mentioned I was mainly updating this issue to clarify for others reading it in the future why although I had thought I was keeping up to date I had forgotten what was provided by OctoPrint, and what was provided by OctoPi (although I suppose this will only be an issue for this brief transitional time)
Once again, thanks for the plugin and your support. :)
Observed behavior Cannot install in Octoprint 1.6.1
As can be seen below the Octoprint UI says it is incompatible
I tried to manually install from https://github.com/The-EG/OctoPrint-CameraSettings/archive/main.zip
