Rpi sees my camera but no webcam stream from Octoprint

Camera model

Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3

What is the problem?

The Rpi correctly lists the camera with "rpicam-hello --list-cameras". But the webcam stream never loads in the OctoPrint Control tab.

What did you already try to solve it?

Initially the Rpi did not detect the camera. I found a setting of "camera_auto_detect=0" in /boot/firmware/config.txt. Changed that to "camera_auto_detect=1". Camera was detected after that.

Beyond that I've done nothing. Found much online info and guidance. But it appears old to me and maybe out of date relative to the SD card I created yesterday using the Raspberry pi Imager with the then-current Octoprint image.

Have you tried running in safe mode?

Yes.

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

No. Nothing changed.

Additional information about your setup

Raspberry pi 4b

PiOS version: Bookworm

OctoPrint 1.11.2

Python 3.11.2

OctoPi* 1.1.0 (build 2025.06.10.114348)

Prusa MK3s, firmware 3.14.1-8237

Browser is Firefox two different PCs; one Windows 10 the other Windows 11--same problem on both

Finally, I have another Octoprint image on another SD card. This SD card in the same Rpi works okay. The video stream always loads immediately, but is sometimes choppy and sometimes freezes. Given that this older Octoprint install works, I have, in my mind, ruled out the camera, the Rpi, the printer, and the browser and browser OS. Details for the older Octopring image are listed below. My hope was that using the latest, greatest versions for PiOS and OctoPrint would fix my streaming issues. Instead, the latest, greatest versions appear to have disabled streaming.

Hello @lars327 !

Please attach the systeminfo bundle to your next post.

Thanks for the reply,

I thought I did upload the SystemInfo Bundle. What I did was unpack the zip file and used the upload button to upload the individual logs. After searching more online, I saw a post to just upload the zip file. Will do that now. If that's not how to do it, please provide guidance.

Thanks.
