Hi there, I also saw and responded to your comments in Discord. Feel free to contact me there too if a quick back/forth is easier.
Do you have OctoLapse installed with Custom Image Preferences enabled? That can interfere with this plugin.
Also, can you please upload a debug log:
octoprint.log
and post it hereJust a note from our discussion on Discord: user is using HLS instead of MJPG, via ffmpeg. Probably not related, but I'm going to do some testing to rule it out. I'm curious if this is related to a few other similar issues I've seen recently.
Here we go octoprint.log
Hello. Same problem, the automatic white balance is disconnected every time I turn on. Latest version of octoprint and latest version of pi
@acevalsl Are you also using HLS?
What is HLS? I'm not using any camera plugins but I'm not sure what you're asking me

The answer is probably 'no' if you don't know what that means. It appears either some Logitech cameras are all suffering from this, or some program/plugin is messing with camera settings upon startup as well. My bet is on the later, but it's not something I can reproduce so it's difficult to hunt it down.
Same issue here, not using HLS (at least haven't set it up - it's a plain vanilla logitech usb cam and a plain vanilla setup (when this started - have started using multicam since, but both before and after, camera settings wouldn't persist the "auto white balance" checkbox).
White balance is easily set to "Auto" in camera settings once I go into the plugin, and takes effect immediately.
Questioning whether this is something messing with the camera settings: wouldn't the AWB setting/checkmark be persisted in the Camera Settings file regardless of what other software was doing to the Logi camera?

Yes, and you can check this yourself. There is no 'camera settings file,' though, everything is stored in the OctoPrint settings, config.yaml.
But I have verified this by the log provided above. The setting is there and it is clearly being set on server startup:
2022-09-22 11:51:26,737 - octoprint.plugins.camerasettings - DEBUG - Setting white_balance_temperature_auto = True on video0
2022-09-22 11:51:26,795 - octoprint.plugins.camerasettings - DEBUG - v4l2-ctl ran successfully:
VIDIOC_QUERYCAP: ok
VIDIOC_S_CTRL: ok
So, from the perspective of this plugin, everything should be working properly. I can't reproduce this, nor get any information in the log saying it's even happening. The only logical explanation left is that either it's not happening (not likely with multiple users) or you all have a similar setup with something tweaking settings in the background.
Hi, having a similar issue where settings aren't loading, auto white balance and absolute focus are the two I care about. This also relates to issue #83
I'm using a NexiGo N930E FHD webcam.
Below are the camera setting related messages I see in the Octoprint log. I just turned on debug logging so I'll share more if I see anything relevant, but apparently there are some invalid arguments when it tries to set a few of the settings.

I noticed earlier that True

:

As you can see, v4l2-ctl doesn't complain about this, but it also doesn't properly set the value. I've fixed this in the latest release, 0.4.3. This should resolve this type of issue, give it a try.
It no longer seems to be an issue, thanks!
Observed behavior What is happening or not working? White Balance Auto unchecked every time I restart octoprint
