My sony SLEH-00448 camera fails to produce a picture on Octoprint Control Screen

What did you already try to solve it?
I tried the configuration changes in octopi.txt listed on https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/wiki/Webcams-known-to-work, I ran some of them multiple times. I even tried some for other brands of cameras.
I did the following as recommended by - OCybress

•You may need to run a few commands to get it running. sudo -s rpi-update reboot

Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, octoprint.log, serial.log or output on terminal tab, ...)
running Version 1.3.9
camera is sony SLEH-00448 camera
I have an Ender 3,
I have been spending so much time on this camera issue, I have not even sent a file to the printer yet. But Octoprint seems to work otherwise, I can move axes with control, etc.

lsusb , two runs, the pi seems to recognize the camera...

its a good thing that Linux syntax is on the net, its been dozens of years since I played much with command lines, and very little unix at that.

thanks for all your help

OK, now I tried the third browser, and it works
I installed new firefox and my camera now works.

Not really sure why the camera works now, but it does. I can't understand how changing browser helped. The last thing I did before that was plugging usb cords in different ports.

I have done a print, monitored it, all printer controls work, as far as I can tell.

oh well. Don't argue with success, even if it is accidental...

Was your first browser Internet Explorer? There is a known problem when using IE although Edge works fine.

Actually first one was Edge, I then went through a whole bunch of gyrations over which browser supports Java, and your Java is out of date, etc. Is the Octoprint interface Java based?
