Issue With YouTube Live Plugin

skaschimer · March 20, 2018, 1:24pm

"repository octoprint/youtubelive not found: does not exist or no pull access"

I installed the plugin and (I think) configured it correctly. When I try t go live I get the error message above. Any suggestions?

Hmm, i can't really help you.

But past last days, i have been installing that plugin and seams to be working ok here.

Did you follow the instructions in the link below? Looks like you might be missing the git pull steps followed by building the docker image...

github.com

jneilliii/OctoPrint-YouTubeLive/blob/master/docker_instructions.md

**Install docker**

    curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh
    sudo usermod pi -aG docker
    sudo reboot

**Pull Docker Image**

    docker pull alexellis2/streaming:07-05-2018
	
**Clone Repository and Rebuild**

    cd ~
    git clone https://github.com/jneilliii/youtubelive --depth 1
	cd youtubelive
	docker build -t octoprint/youtubelive .	
	
**Test**

Set up your stream on the [YouTube Live Dashboard](https://www.youtube.com/live_dashboard) and enter your stream id and IP address in the command below in place of xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx and <ip>.

Maybe I’m just setting the configuration wrong. Where can I find the channel id? I found the secret code

You can find your channel_id on this Advanced Account page.

I have gotten this up and running, but when I Ctrl-C it stops streaming.
Another thing is it tells me to consider raising the thread_queue_size option from the current value of 8- I'm assuming it has something to do with the jumpy video?

jneilliii · September 19, 2018, 2:39am

That is correct. Ctrl+C is to stop the test command. Once you've successfully tested you're ready to set the other settings in the plugin and start streaming from the OctoPrint UI. Not sure about the thread_queue_size option you mention.

Sorry about that, It's been a long day. How can I get the fps up from the 4.1 it has been running?

jneilliii · September 19, 2018, 3:21am

Requires some editing of the docker file and rebuilding, see here for a pointer. If you're going for hi-res hi framerate you're going to want to be running on at least a Pi 3 and probably ethernet connected rather than wifi for the best results.

I'm not really looking for it to be blazing fast, I was hoping it would get higher than the 4.2fps-but I will look into that, thanks. I have 2 options currently- this 3B+, or a PC Running Raspbian.

Little background, before I ask this question, I am not a developer, followed a YouTube tutorial to get a raspbery Pi imaged with OctoPi, and I'd really like to be able to stream the print to YouTube.

Can you tell me where I execute the git pull steps and build the docker image?

jneilliii · April 27, 2020, 9:41pm

You're actually better off using the webcamstreamer plugin, the install documentation is pretty easy to follow and it was based on my plugin, but taken to the next level.

jneilliii · April 27, 2020, 9:43pm

That being said, you will want to have a more powerful Pi (3B+ minimum) if you are planning on running it on the same Pi as OctoPrint that is controlling your printer. It's pretty memory/CPU intensive transcoding the mjpg stream to h264 for the YouTube side.
