Feedback for the latest camera-streamer based webcam stack build (20230504122418)

[foosel]

👉 Latest image & feedback ticket can be found here 👈

---

This is a ticket to collect feedback on the latest build of the new camera stack (some background on that here) for OctoPi-UpToDate, 20230504122418. Find the image here: https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPi-UpToDate/releases/tag/1.0.0-1.8.7-20230504122418

Changes compared to the previous version:

• camera-streamer upgraded to v0.1-21-g54f538e (fixes --camera-{v,h}flip, see --camera-{v,h}flip throw an error now when they used to work with the same camera ayufan/camera-streamer#51)
• kernel pinned to 32bit (see RPi 4B full upgrade od 32-bit OS suddenly changes the kernel architecture to aarch64 raspberrypi/linux#5402)
• "no webcam available" error page adjusted for new camera-stack (Update 'No webcam' page to reference the new camera stack #4, thanks @cp2004!)

This should hopefully now cover all pain points reported on past iterations.

Some first config docs are available here: https://faq.octoprint.org/camera-streamer-config

The source tree used for the build is here: https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPi-UpToDate/tree/camera-streamer

❗ Please note

This image needs to be flashed to your SD card, wiping it in the process. So if you want to keep anything on there, make a backup first! You can also create an OctoPrint backup, download that, flash, restore from backup. There's no way to update to the contents of this image without a full reflash.

Please provide feedback on your experience with this image in this ticket, whether things work for you or not. Make sure to at least include the following:

• Everything working?
• Pi model
• used cameras
• in case of issues: related logs (journalctl -u camera-streamer\* | pb and share the generated paste.octoprint.org URL)

Known issues:

Currently none.

Common pitfalls:

• RPiV3 camera not auto-focusing? Make sure any kind of case you've added to it is not interfering with the lens & sensor

Installed on an RPi 4B with an RPi camera V3. Updated to 1.9.0rc5 successfully. Some strangeness with the camera view on the Control tab that I need to investigate more carefully.

[b-morgan]

After investigating more carefully, the camera view issue has been resolved. It may have been operator error regarding the hflip and vflip checkboxes due to the fact that they moved from the Webcam & Timelapse settings on 1.8.7 to the Classic Webcam plugin settings on 1.9.0rc5.

[Ruhel786]

Installed on both my test system (Pi4B 4GB + RasPi CamV3 +HyperPixel 4 rectangle) and my main system (Pi4B 2GB + RasPi CamV3 +HyperPixel 4 square)
Initially, the Wifi would not connect when the image had finished loading up. I was able to use raspi-config to set up the WiFi data again and it worked. I used RasPi Imager V1.7.4 on my Windows 11 PC. I did not get the same problem when using the MacBook Pro version to create the SD card.

Everything working?
Working perfectly and I was able to restore my backup without any issues.

Everything working - Not OOTB if you want Autofocus
Pi model - 3b
used cameras - Arducam 16mp AF
in case of issues: https://paste.octoprint.org/GQJEZqcI5Z

• Didnt work OOTB as no camera found
• I installed the drivers from arducam site and get a postive from Libcamera-hello and v4l2-ctl --list-devices but no joy in octopi
• I recompiled camera streamer using the instructuiuons on ayufans site and it itt reported "May 07 12:52:39 octopi sh[1203]: /bin/sh: 1: exec: /usr/bin/camera-streamer: not found " though I could see its installed camera streamer in /usr/local/bin
• I set a symbolic link from /usr/bin/ to /user/local/bin/camera-streamer and its now working

Did i do anything weird?

Update: Arducam confirmed that the AF updates to libcamera are not planned to be upstreamed to pi/libcamera anytime soon

They so confirmed the install of their libcamera removed camera-streamer so the recompile/symlink looks like it's needed for AF to function.

[foosel]

@flipside101 recompiling camera-streamer pretty much nuked the whole test I fear. The goal here is to figure out if stuff on the image works as it is, so if you start replacing parts with custom builds, especially the core of the camera stack that this is all about, it's a bit unhelpful 😅

In any case, from the looks of it the current version on the master branch of camera-streamer is still the very same that's packaged up here and installed on the image, and from the looks of your logs, that version started up fine on May 7th at 14:29, but earlier indeed the binary seems to have gotten lost, possibly due to your recompile?

For comparison, this is from a fresh flash of the image, with an RPiCam v3 module:

pi@octopib:~ $ cat /etc/octopiuptodate_build 
1.0.0-1.8.7-20230504122418
pi@octopib:~ $ which camera-streamer
/usr/bin/camera-streamer
pi@octopib:~ $ camera-streamer --version
v0.1-21-g54f538e (54f538e)
pi@octopib:~ $ dpkg -L camera-streamer
/.
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/camera-streamer

The binary is sitting where it's expected, /usr/bin/camera-streamer, and that's also where it got installed to by the aforementioned debian package.

@foosel
Hi The earlier logs are before the recompile, though after the arducam driver install. The May 7th logs are after the recompile and sym link

I'll restart again and document the steps better but as i said it didn't seem to work OOTB even with the drivers installed and dtoverlay entry whilst I good get a picture off the camera and all the needed devices looked to be working it was only after recompiling camera-streamer that it worked. Oh and I only thought about doing that as it was suggested in an earlier post by ayufan with ref to using teh AF https://github.com/OctoPrint/OctoPi-UpToDate/issues/2#issuecomment-1486638369

[b-morgan]

@flipside101, Didn't you post that the camera is an Arducam 16mp AF? @foosel's reply referenced the RPi camera V3. Are there are extra steps involved to get the Arducam working?

[flipside101]

@b-morgan I believe so yes and ive listed them in the discussion thread- https://community.octoprint.org/t/discussing-the-new-camera-streamer-based-webcam-stack-for-octopi-currently-in-development/50866/25. Im going to restest and ill document there so not to clog up here.

[adriaanb]

Not sure if this is relevant feedback as the camera itself seems to be working just fine, but I thought I'd share regardless.

• Everything working?

  • Camera stream itself works.
  • As long as the camera is connected/enabled, communication issues between the Pi and the MCU arise intermittently. Firmware used is Klipper, Klipper's logs show this error: MCU 'mcu' shutdown: Timer too close. The issue has been appearing regardless of whether the printer was currently printing or idling at the time and seems to have disappeared after disabling and disconnecting the camera.

• Pi model:

  • Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

• Camera used:

  • Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 (Wide)

Camera 2: Creative Technology Ltd / Live Cam Sync HD VF0770

Setup:

• Blank flash/install, no backup used
• sudo remove-usb-camera default, sudo add-usb-camera livecamsynchd (as suggested in the docs)
• Additionaly (maybe add to docs): edited haproxy.cfg to add a webcam2 path for the second cam.
• installed MultiCam plugin and configured usb camera using webcam2 path / port 8081

[Nevio024]

Everything working?
No, I did the two steps described by @flipside101

in /boot/config.txt I put:
[all]
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-128
gpu_mem=128 # preferred 160 or 256MB
dtoverlay=imx519

and in /boot/camera-streamer/libcamera.conf I uncommented:
#OPTIONS='--camera-options="AfMode=2" --camera-options="AfRange=2"'

Octoprint says: "Webcam Stream not loaded"
There is no camera found in /webcam/?action=stream

How do I fix this?
PS: I have been testing many different versions in the last few days and one time (don't remember the version and what steps I did) there was a stream, but it was just a Blackscreen.)

[flipside101]

You still have AF active so Camera-S treamer isn't starting, you need to hash out the AF lines so they are not active

[Nevio024]

You still have AF active so Camera-S treamer isn't starting, you need to hash out the AF lines so they are not active

This is what my libcamera.conf looks like:

###Options for libcamera based cameras (PiCam, Arducam, ...)

#The port on which the webcam server for the camera should listen on. If you have only
#one camera, leave at 8080. If you have more, change to 8081, 8082, etc. The primary
#camera will be considered the one with 8080.
PORT=8080

#The resolution to request on the camera sensor. Defaults to 1280x720.
WIDTH=1920
HEIGHT=1080

#The height to use for the video stream. Defaults to 720.
VIDEO_HEIGHT=720

#The height to use for the snapshots. Defaults to 1080.
SNAPSHOT_HEIGHT=1080

#The framerate to set on the camera. Defaults to 15fps.
FRAMERATE=15

#Additional options. By default enables continuous auto focus (if possible).
#OPTIONS='--camera-options="AfMode=2" --camera-options="AfRange=2"'

What do I need to change?

[wlayher]

Just to confirm, the instructions from @flipside101 work for me on a Pi4 and an Arducam 16MP AF with manual focus.

[Nevio024]

What am I doing wrong?

[wlayher]

In case you removed the "#" from the second line, you need to put it back and reboot.
#Additional options. By default enables continuous auto focus (if possible).
#OPTIONS='--camera-options="AfMode=2" --camera-options="AfRange=2"'

[wlayher]

To clarify, this is in another file, not /boot/config.txt, but /boot/camera-streamer/libcamera.conf

[Nevio024]

To clarify, this is in another file, not /boot/config.txt, but /boot/camera-streamer/libcamera.conf

In the /boot/config.txt I put the stuff in, and /boot/camera-streamer/libcamera.conf I uncommented it.

[wlayher]

Uncommenting is removing the "#", adding a "#" in front of a line is called making the line a comment.
In short, the line must start with a # , everything after that character is ignored by the Pi.

It worked!!!! I think I didn't write it out properly. It's still a little slow, can I change the fps somehow?

[wlayher]

#The framerate to set on the camera. Defaults to 15fps.
FRAMERATE=15
Change that value, but this could be too much for your connection or your Pi at 25

[Nevio024]

#The framerate to set on the camera. Defaults to 15fps. FRAMERATE=15 Change that value, but this could be too much for your connection or your Pi at 25

Does 20 work without issues?
Also can I try and change the video pixels from 720 to 1080?

[wlayher]

Try and you shall learn! :-)
I did not change these values so far.

[Nevio024]

So, here we go again:

Everything working?

Yes! 🥳🥳

Pi model

Raspberry Pi 3b+

used cameras

16MP Arducam Autofocus IMX 519

Tutorial for everyone who needs it:

To make it work I did these two steps described by @flipside101:
At first SSH into the Pi. If you don't know how, look it up on the internet.

In the root directory of the Pi type:
cd /boot
sudo nano config.txt

Then put the following unter the header "[all]":

---

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-128
gpu_mem=128 # preferred 160 or 256MB
dtoverlay=imx519

---

Write out the file by pressing "Ctrl+O" and then "Enter". You can exit the file with "Ctrl+X".

Next, open the "libcamera.conf" file by pasting the following commands into the terminal:
cd camera-streamer
sudo nano libcamera.conf

Put a "#" in front of the following:

---

OPTIONS='--camera-options="AfMode=2" --camera-options="AfRange=2"'

---

Putting a "#" in front of something, makes it a comment. Comments don't get read by the system.
Write out the file by pressing "Ctrl+O" and then "Enter". Exit the file with "Ctrl+X".

In your camera settings in Octoprint you should have:

---

/webcam/?action=stream

---

Everything should be working and you should be up and running.

For some reason, the libcamera / PiCam sometimes (I think only after a cold boot) does not come up, either restarting the service or a warm reboot help.

The journalctl (before I restart the service) only logs:

Could there be an (timing) issue with boot/initialization?

Could there be an (timing) issue with boot/initialization?

None that I'm aware of, but that "Stale detected" looks like something I've seen in the past as well, with similar symptoms. @ayufan Any ideas what could cause this?

---

Since the feedback in general looked promising enough regarding stability now, I've gone forward and decided on doing a soft launch.

RPi imager now allows to install the latest build, but the standard one is still there as well and marked as "stable". That should hopefully lead to some more testing yet.

New OctoPrint released today, 1.9.0, therefore new image and thus new feedback ticket, see #6

[ayufan]

@n00b42 @foosel Yes, I see it also on mine. Sometimes it takes slightly longer for bootup, and then subsequent restart is needed. I have my systemd configured to auto restart in 3-5 seconds.
