Hello @Salvatore_1362862864 !

Can you please provide the systeminfo bundle?

How did you install OctoPrint on the Orange Pi (guide, installer, ready to use image)?
Was a webcam streamer part of the setup?

I followed the following tutorial "Install OctoPrint (but NOT on a Raspberry Pi!) - HOW TO INSTALL! - YouTube" and I put configure webcam

5

When running the installation script, which webcam streamer did you select to install?

Hi Salvatore, I feel your pain!
I tried installing to and Orange pi zero 2 w 1G version. 2x manually and the last time with octoprint-deploy. The camera streamed for about a minute and then stopped on the second manual install. I have 3 webcameras and they all worked when octoprint was installed on a RPI 4b. I found like you I would get the "stream not loaded" error message but the webcam snapshot would work. Finally I gave up trying to get the webcam working and streamed an esp32-cam to the #control page. Image quality is poor but at least I can monitor print progress from within octoprint.
If you still haven't solved it try the esp32-cam solution, they can be had for under $10.
In octoprint settup, classic webcam, stream url box enter "http://<your esp32-cam's ip>:81/stream".
