webcam image not sending even when requested

[JimGaleForce]

not getting images (which work thru octoprint just fine, both video and snapshot). settings request images for /status, (start/stop/etc). none of them produce images.

here's the relevant debug info for the /status request:
(odd that there's a with_image=True, and a snapshot url followed by a Sending without image):

It seems like the plugin can't take a picture. Is the snapshot-URL the one you get on fresh installs? Or did you change it?
The plugin can't resolve a simple "/webcam/[...]" URL. There has to be a full address.
Set the snapshot URL to one of the following:

• http://127.0.0.1:8080/?action=snapshot
• http://127.0.0.1/webcam/?action=snapshot

Both should work. Without the full address the path is only useable from within the browser.

Memo

• We need full URL
• Need to know which is the base setting for the snapshot url on install of Oprint
• Simply inject "http://127.0.0.1" if leading '/' in URL?
• Py sockets to determine local IP?

[JimGaleForce]

that worked to get a photo. however, wouldn't that fail for remote use as it would be relative to the browser. If so, this is a partial solution.

and yes, installed from the [INSTALL] button after finding it from the repo.

thanks!

[derpicknicker1]

Octoprint uses the stream url. For me there is nothing broken in octoprint web ui. Does octoprint, or any component of it, even use the snapshot url?
Edit: maybe it uses it for timelapses. But they still work. So no problem.

[JimGaleForce]

yes, at least the timelapse feature - however, that is local and still works (just tested). from my phone's browser, I've used the snapshot to check on my prints as the stream doesn't work in any way. Arguably - this plugin replaces it - so I'm good with it (just hoping that before I find another use, an update would interpret a relative url locally).

[derpicknicker1]

When you checked your print by snapshot, how did you doch that? Typing a url to your browser? Custom button in Octoprint?

[JimGaleForce]

http://(my home ip address):(my forwarded port)/webcam?action=snapshot
... and just tried it and it works ... so since I'm not requesting octoprint to deliver it for me - no issue.
(shall I Close the issue or you? :) ) - thanks!

[derpicknicker1]

I'm glad that it works for you now. So i close this issue now.

[macscripter]

I have the same problem... I can take snapshot on my local url: http://192.168.1.12/webcam/?action=snapshot

But I don't receive the message from the boot Telegram with the photo, only text... Could someone help?

Thanks in advance

[derpicknicker1]

As i worte before: open settings in octoprint and select webcam. For snapshot url type in http://127.0.0.1/webcam/?action=snapshot

[JTcodehub]

I have an IP Cam (Model: skytronic 351.149), which is not directly wired to the computer (Beaglebone Black) and it works perfectly directly in Octoprint, but it doesn't work in Telegram. I always get the notification "[ERR GET IMAGE]". The webcam-link that I use in Octoprint has this style:

"http://1.1.1.1:11/snapshot.cgi?user=USER&pwd=PWD"

I think I am already in snapshot-mode (because a "snapshot.cgi" is part of the URL), and adding "/webcam/?action=snapshot" doesn't work here. I tried adding this to the end of the URL but this changes nothing - it still works directly in Octoprint, but doesn't work in Telegram. Do you have any idea what to do?

[juampick]

I'm having the same issue @superJT1 using IP Cam software for ios and using an iphone camera. The camera works for octoprint but not on octoprint-telegram plugin.
