Pi camera is not loading
Please help
"Car is not starting.
Please help."
How about you read the big pinned topic that says "READ FIRST", collect the information needed in order to help you and start again? Because right now the only thing we know is "something isn't working". Not what setup you have, what you have tried, what the system might be logging about the whole situation, and so on and so on.

I do not understand what do you mean?
I use Ender 3 and Raspberry Pi B+
Every thing is ok i can control the printer.
I have Camera V2.1 Pi camera connected but all i see is "webcam stream loading..."
Can you help me?
She'll probably also want to know what browser you're using.
And want the contents of webcamd.log, and information on whether the LED of the camera even lights up. Then I'll suggest to make sure the camera is plugged in correctly (there are two identical connectors for the cable on the board, the one closer to the usb ports is the right one for the camera), that the connector faces the right way, on both ends, and that it's straight. And if all of that is the case, I'll suggest to try either a different camera or a different Pi, because it wouldn't be the first camera to be broken from the get go.
A post was merged into an existing topic: OctoPrint tells me that my printer's firmware lacks mandatory safety features, what does this mean?
Does the camera work with raspistill? This information would help us to track down where the problem lies. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/camera/raspicam/raspistill.md
Honestly, I think raspistill stopped working with the Stretch update to Raspbian/Debian. I haven't been able to get it to work since.
I upgraded/flashed the new .16 octopi version last night and couldn't get my raspi cam working. Previous version everything was fine. After flashing i went ahead and modified the /boot/octopi.txt and set it for:
camera="raspi"
camera_raspi_options="-x 1280 -y 720 -fps 15"
but after booting up the pi, there was no stream.

I made sure the camera and hardware interface was enabled in raspi-config and /boot/config.txt.
vcgencmd get_camera
supported=1 detected=1
so i know it's being detected but no stream....
i tried "raspistill -o photo.jpg" and it worked....
i was so confused. I finally went back to the /boot/octopi.txt files, and set it back to
#camera="auto"
#camera_raspi_options="-x 1280 -y 720 -fps 15"
sudo service webcamd restart
and the stream was up and working... but it was set to the usb cam settings (640x480 10 fps) . So i went back /boot/octopi.txt and set
camera_usb_options="-r 1280x720 -f 15"
sudo service webcamd restart again and it's still detecting as usb cam and running at 1280x720.
It's working so i'm not messing with it but i don't understand why it's being detected as usb camera.

Welcome back, raspistill.
Honestly, I don't have anything in my /boot/octopi.txt which is uncommented. You might try that.

There should be no problems with USB (a.k.a. select() timeout)
