Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, ...)

I have a better question: Why are you trying to install gstreamer?

3

thats a good question, through these last few days I have tried many of the fixes i was able to find and gstreamer was one of them.

The first thing I would try is the webcam stream outside OctoPrint. Sometimes, because there is a lot going on in OctoPrint's UI, the camera can lag. Find the stream URL (http://<your-ip>/webcam/?action=stream) and view it in a separate tab/window.

You can also adjust the resolution of the camera - high resolution/FPS combinations can make the Pi/network/browser lag significantly.

Ignore gstreamer, if it doesn't work.

well I got it working with spagetti detective on my cell phone but it wont work on my laptop
