Hi so sorry, forgott..

i updated it in the first post and also some additional steps i did so far. And all files updated too.

Some more maybe "usefull" information:

Hi, did you resolve this as I've got exactly the same issue and my running the same commands basically get the same responses as you did. I have a clean install of Octoprint 'new camera' from yesterday, with apts updated. I manually added the dtoverlay=ov5647 to the config.txt file and that resulted in the libcamera count going 0 to 1, but at the same time the detected count went from 1 to 0. I'll create a new post if you didn't manage to solve it. The reason I reinstalled is because a few months ago after an octoprint update (not new camera version) the camera stream stopped working in Octoprint...but using the raspstill command I could take still images so Pi was recognising the camera

It sounds like you forgot to permit the stream to be accessible from all network devices.

Make sure the line for options reads

OPTIONS=--http-listen=0.0.0.0

in the camera.conf file.

Then reboot.
