You are fine with 2.7.15
And yes, you can have installed both versions parallel.
Is there a way to add access control on a Windows setup like on this page? I can find a plugin or how to turn on access control like the pi version does.
@ Foosel
i want to do a Big shout out to Chris Riley, who just posted a video walk threw on setting this up with multiple instances.
Could you please make him a Sticky!

I had the same issue but it was just because http;// was missing before the IP address.
Is the 0.16.0 Update available for Windows as well?
Just tried to update with your recommended update instructions:
- Stopped Octoprint
- C:\OctoPrint>venv\Scripts\activate.bat
- pip install --upgrade https://get.octoprint.org/latest")
It doesn't seem like it has installed the latest version. After starting Octoprint server again it shows version 1.3.10
I get the message "Cache entry deserialization failed, entry ignored" after calling "pip install..."

In preparation of the upcoming py3 compatibility I'm working on setting up my dev environment and was wondering if these steps are going to be roughly the same? Is there a reason for using 32bit over 64bit version of python?
Setting up a Development environment in the devel version of the docs has been adjusted for "dual wielding", you might want to check that. Windows specifics are still missing though.
When I wrote these steps there were a ton of issues with the availability of 64bit eggs (there were no wheels back then IIRC) and compilation under Windows with 64bit was also an absolute nightmare. The combination of those things made it an absolute pain to get up and running, whereas 32bit just worked(TM). Things might have changed now. I'm honestly not sure if my Py3 install is 32 or 64bit 
I managed to get Yawcam to work with streaming. Now I want to add a username and password to it.
Once I added that in the Yawcam Settings, I can't seem to view the stream even after embedding the credentials in the URL like this:
http://<username>:<password>@<ip-address>:<port>/video.mjpg
It keeps popping up a login window in Chrome and when used in OctoPrint settings, it fails to render the image when I click the 'Test' button.
Is there any way to do this?
hi,
installed on Windows 10, drivers for COM installed. When I try to connect in Octoprint, I get this error:

HI
Im trying to insall octoprint on windows 10. Im using python 2.7.15 and when I try to install the octoprint via this line:
pip install http://get.octoprint.org/latest
I`m getting an error: Error 42:
"1% |could not install package due to an EnvironmentError: [Error 42] Illigal byte sequence"
how can I solve this error and install octoprint on my PC??
thanks!
If I install it on my PC, I can use my built in webcam correct?
Also, as a preventative "computer can reboot" kinda thing, can I still print from my SD card directly to the printer and just use octoprint to monitor it?
I could use some help I already tried googling it and couldn't find anything.... my octoprint runs on my windows PC and I am using yawcam to control my webcams that can both out put in 1080. I would love to render octolapse videos in higher resolution but as far as I can tell you have to edit the octopi.txt file which the windows version of octoprint doesnt seem to have. Anyone have any ideas?
OctoPi camera initialization is normally done through octopi.txt. Windows camera initialization is different.
OctoPrint uses the camera in both OctoPi and Windows through the stream and snapshot URLs. The camera resolution and other parameters were handled at initialization.
I have install successfully python in 32 bit and running well. I made sure to include pip in the installation.
hi. i'm new in this matter , any idea what to do or what i do it wrong when installing from here : checking the API key... but never finishing.
. i change it the address from 80 to 3344 but not working. the octoprint said is connected with printer but i can't connect with cura 4.3 version. thanks.
OctoPrint normally doesn't run on port 3344. It runs on port 5000 and with the help of haproxy, it also is seen on port 80, the default.
Also, keep this to one thread please. You've already asked this somewhere else on here.
i try it with 80 too and not working. of course i asked ,where i saw that is about this problem.what else to do? and how to try with port 5000 and haproxy? a step by step guide ? something somewhere is missing and can't be connected together.
