Please consider becoming a patron

If you like this project, please support my work by becoming a patron, and consider adding a 'star' to the repository. It takes a lot of time and effort to maintain the project and respond to issues. The cost of test prints, software, cameras, printer parts, etc. can quickly add up, so every bit helps. I'm currently saving for some additional test cameras in preparation for develiping multi-camera support.

I ran into some Issues with 1.3.8 and a total failuren on 1.3.9 RC1, I went back to 1.3.7and its working better now, try it maybe it helps.
The command for the shell is:

1. ~/oprint/bin/pip install https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/archive/1.3.7.zip
2. sudo service octoprint restart

[Psyc0Flyer]

How would I type this out to update?

[simpson1991]

Sorry i dont understand your question.
If you want to update pip, you have to type:
~/oprint/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
So everytime you want to use a pip command you have to enter ~/oprint/bin/pip instead of just pip.
But im sure updating pip wont change anything.
Try to get back to 1.3.7

[Psyc0Flyer]

I have reverted to 1.3.7 and still have the same issues.

[simpson1991]

But do you get a picture under the control tab? Do you get a positive feedback when you click the octolaps Camera test button?

[Psyc0Flyer]

Yes, I have always had a picture, just the controls are not working.

[simpson1991]

what excactly do you mean with camera controls?

[Psyc0Flyer]

[GeorgesGadgets]

Having the same problem, none of the custom camera settings work

If there were directions on how to get the commands needed in the advanced tab I could try it myself

[GeorgesGadgets]

Revert back to Octoprint .13 and it will work.

[Psyc0Flyer]

Tried it, still doesn't.

what the heck.....I am sorry dude I just went through at least 3 days of troubleshooting. Not sure why yours is not working :\

[FormerLurker]

So the camera controls as currently implement will only work if the MJpegStreamer control webpage is installed and accessible from the machine that is running Octoprint. Octolapse sends some GET requests to the camera server that mimic those available on the MJpegStreamer page. If the control pages does not exist (not running mjpegstreamer, or page not accessible), the controls will not work. The default Octopi instance should have this correctly configured.

Can you get to a page that looks like this:

I can check my own instance for the URL to the above page if you need it. Let me know.

The 'Control' link on that page has all of the values that can be controlled with Octolapse. If you have access, there is probably something slightly off with your camera address (perhaps a missing / at the end?)

Soon I hope to switch the camera control so that it can directly adjust the settings without going through the web service, but have been having trouble making it work cross platform.

Let me know if any of this helps, and sorry for the late response (been out of the country)!

[FormerLurker]

@simpson1991 - I have heard that some people need to update PIP before installing the newest version of Octoprint.

Edit: I did not read the entire comment history as I should have before replying to you, sorry. I see that you are way ahead of me :)

[Psyc0Flyer]

@FormerLurker , I have only tried to access the cam controls from remotely. I have the Octopi connected to my Prusa i3 MK3 printer so there is not a computer directly connected. If you have that URL, please LMK and I would give it a try. I would rather try to get it working by software other than buying parts and modifying my cam to stay in focus at such a close range.

[FormerLurker]

Hey, I think I figured it out. Apparently something changed in the default boot/octopi.txt file that turned off the control.htm access. So, open up the boot/octopi.txt file and change the last two lines to the following:

camera_http_webroot="./www"
camera_http_options=""

Then save and reboot. Let me know if you need help editing this file, but here are instructions that might save you time. Pardon me if this is second nature to you :)

Once you have rebooted see if the following page loads:
http://[YourOctopiInstanceUrlHere]/webcam/control.htm

If it does, try out the octolapse camera settings again and let me know if it works!

[Psyc0Flyer]

@FormerLurker mine looks like this (I just uncommented the lines before posting this):

camera_http_webroot="./www-octopi"
camera_http_options="-n"

[Psyc0Flyer]

Here is my octopi.txt file @FormerLurker
octopi.txt

[FormerLurker]

Yeah, change those last two to this:

camera_http_webroot="./www"
camera_http_options=""

and that should (fingers crossed) fix it for now.

[GeorgesGadgets]

Hey lurker, thanks for making this amazing app

I was trying to troubleshoot this last night and I ended up moving the new wwwoctopi out of that directory and moving the www into where the index is.

I still couldn’t get it to work but maybe I messed it up

[FormerLurker]

@GeorgesGadgets, OctoPi also includes the following in octopi.txt, which prevents access to control.htm capabilities (presumably for security/performance reasons):

camera_http_options="-n"

That must be changed to
camera_http_options=""

to allow the config.htm controls.

Take a look at this PR from Gina for more info.

[GeorgesGadgets]

Works. You are the man Lurker

thank you very much! Glad to have you back

[Psyc0Flyer]

It DOES in fact work but now my camera image sux a$$.. LOL

[FormerLurker]

Lol!! Play with the settings in split screen, stream on one side and the settings on the other. Unfortunately the defaults aren't reported, so it may take some time to figure them all out.

[GeorgesGadgets]

Ok, one more issue I ran into related to this. I can not edit the resolution. If I mess with the resolution of the camera in octoprint.txt then it does not change :\

[FormerLurker]

I don't think this is related to Octolapse, but if you post your txt file and let me know what cam you have, I'll take a look.

[GeorgesGadgets]

Ahem. I’m dumb. I fixed it

[FormerLurker]

I'm going to close this out. Let me know if you have any additional related problems and I can open it back up.

Thanks for posting!
