In Octoprint settings, under "Webcam & Timelapse", if you set stream url to:
http://myrpi:8080/?action=stream which is a valid RFC2396 URL, the
n ffmpeg will fail to recognize the URL and returns:
http://myrpi:8080?action=stream: Server returned 400 Bad Request
Obico doesn't detect this bug and merrily launches ffmpeg with the faulty URL.
ffmpeg fails (silently) and then Obico defaults to 0.1fps snapshots.
Suggested fix is either:
Warn users if 'malformed' URL (and document to prevent users like me from wasting hours of time and having to debug the code to figure out what is going on)
Or add a manual fix to stream_url in webcam_stream.py to insert a slash if missing before '?'
Of course, until ffmpeg or Obico code is adjusted, users can avoid the problem by making sure there is a "/" before the '?'.
i.e., change http://myrpi:8080?action=stream to http://myrpi:8080/?action=stream
