Unable to add a webcam to Octoprint #124

Closed k5jat closed 6 months ago

I get to the following point and it just freezes:

Plug your camera in via USB now (detection time-out in 1 min)
/dev/v4l/by-id/usb-046d_C922_Pro_Stream_Webcam_0A62969F-video-index0
Camera was only detected as /dev/v4l/by-id entry.
This will be used as the camera device identifier
Camera detected with serial number:

This is on a Le Potato running Ubuntu 22.04. The webcam, in this case, a Logitech C922 Pro, is detected but it never gets past this point. I also tried it on a different, more generic knock-off and it did the same thing.

What do you mean by "it never gets past this point"? What happens next?

k5jat commented 8 months ago

It hangs. I left it there for 10 minutes and it didn't do anything.

I have pushed a fix. update octoprint_deploy and try again.

Also, I am curious what output dmesg is getting from your camera. If you can, in a terminal do the following: sudo dmesg -C plug camera in by usb sudo dmesg provide output.

The Le Potato died on me. Boots up but no video and won't connect to the network. I'll see if maybe flashing it with Raspbian will bring it back, though I doubt it. $35 down the tubes. If it does come back up, I do the testing you asked me to.

Have a great day!
