**Camera modelusb logitech c920 and Smraza Raspberry Pi 4 Camera Module 5

**What is the problem?Can not get either to view in Octoprint software. I can control my printer no problem

**What did you already try to solve it?*Changed octopi.txt fields: camera="auto" camera_usb_options="-r 640x480 -f 10 -y" camera_raspi_options="--x 1280 -y 720 -fps 20" Removed the # on each line. I have not changed the /webcam/?action=stream *

Try searching the forum here for your webcam's brand and model to see if someone has provided this information.

Thank you for the reply, I did a search and found some info on the logitech camera but it was all about config changes after it is running. My problem is I cant get either running.
