Camera model
Raspberry Pi Camera Rev 1.3
What is the problem?
"Webcam stream not loaded" but Camera still works.
What did you already try to solve it?
I bought a New Camera as well as a new ribbon cable. looked up issues and troubleshooting. reboot and swapped all components and combinations thereof. made sure the contacts were good on the module itself as well. Disabled and reenabled camera support on both octopi and raspberry pi.

Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, ...)
Octoprint 1.4.0, Raspberry Pi 3b
When starting Octopi, the red LED flashes once quickly and then turns off, happens every reboot.
I get Supported=1 Detected=1 when looking for cam via SSH (vcgencmd get_camera).
When putting in the "raspistill -o image.jpg" the red light turns on and my TouchUI screen shows a current video feed of the camera for about 5 seconds before the light and feed turns back off.
my snapshot URL "http://127.0.0.1:8080/?action=snapshot" loads nothing. My chrome browser loads nothing in Octopi.local, as well as my TouchUI under the webcam tab.
Now, when looking through the Sysconfig while creating this post, I noticed "Failed to start the OctoPi webcam daemon with the user specified config."
This got me looking into the config files in /boot/config.txt and cross-referenced them with my settings only to find out the reason my camera wasn't being supported. I have a Version 1 camera and probably put in the resolution settings for a V2 module a while ago and forgot.
This problem was Solved but I still want to submit this report so that others with similar issues can find it. I loathe people posting issues and then abandoning the thread / replying "Solved", for years prior.
