What is the problem?image
I successfully connect to my raspberry pi 4 with octoprint, but then when I go to control tab, it will at first say webcam stream loading, and then give me this message. I know the ribbon cable hooked up correctly because there is a light on the camera that lights up when the raspberry pi is on.

**What did you already try to solve it?**I have went into configuration settings on the raspberry pi and enabled the camera, did "sudo update" and "sudo upgrade" and I still can't get it to work. I have searched the internet to try and solve the problem, but nothing has worked. Thank you for any help that you have to offer.

Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, ...)

First it would be good to check if the Pi can see the camera.

From SSH/command line run vcgencmd get_camera. It should return a 1 for both supported and detected.

Thank you, but I just realized that I had the ribbon cable plugged into the wrong port. sorry to waste your time
