[timelapse.py:getWebcamConfig()] - WARNING: no camera configured, using the fallback config

I have my webcam set up and I can see that in the UI just fine. All I had to do was go add camera, change it to MPEG Streamer and the URLs were already correctly set as:

/webcam/?action=stream /webcam/?action=snapshot

But I'm struggling to get the time lapse to work. I've selected the same camera that I set up in the camera section but you can see from the logs it's not seeing the camera.

Hey there,

that sounds like a duplicate of https://github.com/mkuf/prind/issues/113. You'll have to set the snapshot url in moonraker.conf to http://webcam:8080/snapshot.

Ah thank you!

In the end I landed on this which appears to be working:

[webcam LifeCam] enabled: True service: mjpegstreamer stream_url: /webcam/?action=stream snapshot_url: http://webcam:8080/snapshot
