RaspiCam on fresh Installation

Get Help Webcams
1

Hi!

as suggested for a bigger Python-Upgrade, I freshly flashed Octopi 1.1.0.
Now I can't get up the RaspiCam.
After hours of researching and trying around. I don't get whats the status about the Camera-Stack, there's years old announcements about the new Camera-Stack, but it looks like its not included in the new Image, on the other hand, mjpg_streamer's input_uvc seems to have dropped support for the raspicam.

Already tried everything anywere suggested:
modifying /boot/firmware/config.txt or creating a /boot/config.txt with
camera=auto
camera_auto_detect=1
dtoverlay=ov5647
Activating lines in /boot/firmware/octopi.txt.
Not possible is changing the legacy-support in raspi-config as this has been removed.

Any Ideas?

This does not look as a guide.

Please choose the correct sub-forum.

Hey zonk0101,

I had similar issues when I migrated to Octopi 1.1.0 with my PiCam v2.
Maybe try the "Stable OctoPi with New Camera Stack", that worked out of the box for me.

Hey zonk0101,

it turns out that there was a different culprit for the non fuctioning PiCam.
Enabling "camera_auto_detect=1" was the problem.

In bookworm you do not need to edit the config.txt at all to get the PiCam going.
Details can be found here: After migration from Octopi 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 webcam stream is not working (Raspi Cam v2) - #7 by dduesentrieb

Thanks for coming back, I'm pretty sure I didn't touch config.txt before I ran into the problem.
I'll check my notes later
