Webcamd restart in loops then lost video stream #817

Closed Syl20-94 closed 1 year ago

Syl20-94 commented 1 year ago

Hello I switch to Octoprint 1.0.0 654b on my rapsberry pi 4b connected to a MK3 prusa printer,

so I did a backup from previous install in Octoprint 1.8.7 to save installation time. and it works well.

in usage this is OK but I faced a strange behave that I did not have on 0.18 version, I have 2 webcam and on a regular time, image froze and I need to switch from one camera to other to reconnect - I assume that I lost video stream.

I had a look on log and figure out that webcamd generate a lot of logs especially by restarting the deamon each 2 min.

I tried a lot of twicking of the conf file but I can not fix the hint,

Does someone else have the same issue ?

the log look like this

logs_webcamd.txt

What did you expect to happen?

obviously that videostream are constant

What happened instead?

Version of OctoPi

Octopi 1.0.0 64b Octoprint 1.8.7 Python 3.8.10

What kind of camera? Model?

main one is a Logitec C270 and the other is a C930e which works without problem on my previous octopi install (32 bits, Octopi 0.18 )

Says here you need to set settings for the C270. I'd start with one and then see how to add the second one: https://community.octoprint.org/docs?search=c270&topic=21149

Source that indicates changes are needed: https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/pjeif0/comment/hbwnmlf/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Also you might get better responses on the community forum, since I am not sure this is an issue I can resolve, because its either related to configuration or changes in Raspberry Pi OS. It might be, but you might get faster responses there from people who have the hardware: https://community.octoprint.org/

Thank a lot for your help, I will test these point and provide feedback

Hello I checked again and can't fix it, anyway I figure out I had this behaviour on my previous Octopi 0.18 install so I close the point as this is working like this since a while and is a minor hint
