Octopi Webcam Stream Not Loading (New Camera Stack)

Get Help Webcams
1

Camera model

Arducam 16MP IMX519 Autofocus

What is the problem?

Able to get libcamera-hello --list-camera to detect the arducam connected to my Raspberry Pi. However, unable to get the webcam stream or snapshot to show up on Octoprint, showing the usual error of "Webcam stream not loaded" and asking me to check my stream URL.

What did you already try to solve it?

Below are the setup steps that I took:

  1. Flash the latest Octopi with new camera stack to my Pi
  2. Followed the Octoprint guide by Arducam as given here: Solution On OctoPrint - Arducam Wiki

I did not change any default settings in the /boot/camera-streamer/libcamera.conf file as I was unsure what changes to make.

Have you tried running in safe mode?

yes

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

no

Additional information about your setup

managed to solve the problem using the solution given in this topic! Discussing the new camera-streamer based webcam stack for OctoPi currently in development - #36 by tbadger

however, this solution requires the autofocus feature of the camera to be disabled. still haven't figured out how to fix this problem with autofocus enabled. would be really grateful if anyone knows the solution!
