Unable to add additional camera

Logitech C920

What is the problem?

Hello OctoPrint Community,

I am reaching out for assistance with setting up a Logitech C920 webcam on my OctoPi system. I am attempting to use multiple cameras, but I am encountering issues with getting the C920 to stream. The PI camera connected via Ribbon cable no problem its just the C920 doesn't seem to show a stream

Setup Details:

Raspberry Pi running OctoPi Version 1.9.3 with camera stac
Logitech C920 connected via USB.
Attempting to set up the C920 as a second camera alongside my existing Pi camera.

Steps Taken So Far:

Added the C920 using the sudo add-usb-camera c920 command. This set up the camera on port 8081.
Confirmed that the C920 is recognised by the system with lsusb.
Checked the camera configuration file at /boot/camera-streamer/usb-c920.conf. The configuration includes:

PORT=8081
DEVICE=/dev/v4l/by-id/usb-046d_HD_Pro_Webcam_C920_935BA82F-video-index0
Standard format, resolution (1280x720), and framerate (15fps) settings.

Encountered issues with the camera-streamer-usb-c920 service not being found.
Created the service file manually and tried to start the service, but it remains inactive (dead).
Found a condition in override.conf (ConditionPathExists=/etc/octopi_streamer/mjpeg). Attempted to satisfy this condition by creating the directory, but the service still won't start.
I also installed Multicam plugin hoping that would get it to work, I see two drop downs now , USB Camera and Default the PI camera works the other does not.

Current Issue:

The camera service for the C920 does not remain active. It shows as "inactive (dead)" despite the steps taken to address configuration and service setup.
Unable to access the camera stream via http://<Raspberry_Pi_IP>:8081.

I am seeking guidance on how to resolve this issue to get the C920 streaming alongside my existing camera. Any advice, suggestions, or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated. If there are known compatibility issues with this setup or specific nuances with the camera-streamer software that I should be aware of, please let me know.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!

Have you tried running in safe mode?

No

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

No

Can you please please please format the log you posted as preformated text

Format

And please also attach the systeminfo bundle to your next post.

SardoN · January 10, 2024, 7:43pm

Is that better?

SardoN · January 11, 2024, 9:26am

Attached bundle as per request, username, my private email & passwords have been removed.

I'm in desperate need of assistance I cannot figure out how to get the camera to work at all. I've literally run out of options. If someone could be so kind as to provide some guidance on how to resolve I would be ever so grateful.

SardoN · January 12, 2024, 6:37pm

Any ideas ? I can't even find a tutorial for a camera setup with the latest version of OctoPrint.. Without any input from anybody I'm afraid I won't be able to progress

SardoN · January 13, 2024, 7:18am

I'm writing to follow up on my previous post regarding the challenges I'm facing in setting up my Logitech C920 webcam with my OctoPi system. Despite following the recommended steps and providing the necessary logs and system info, I'm still unable to get the camera to stream successfully.

I appreciate the guidance to post the systeminfo bundle and have ensured all sensitive information was removed. However, I find myself in need of further assistance as the camera remains non-functional. This has been a challenging issue, and I'm reaching out again in hopes of some additional support or suggestions from this knowledgeable community.

To recap, the main issue is:

The camera service for the C920 remains inactive ("dead") despite configuration and service setup efforts.
Unable to access the camera stream via the designated port.

I understand everyone here is busy, but any further insights, suggestions, or guidance would be immensely appreciated. I am keen to resolve this issue and contribute back to the community with any findings that may help others in the future.

Thank you once again for your time and assistance

SardoN · January 13, 2024, 9:10am

I've managed to resolve the problem on my own

Idesignstuff · January 27, 2024, 8:57pm

How? I'm just starting on a similar journey here...

opjose · January 28, 2024, 3:38am

If you are just starting make sure you read the following two posts...

If you are running multiple cameras you will have to edit the configuration files you create with the add-usb-camera utility to enable the streams to listen on the default interfaces.
While this is documented in the forums, it is not obvious to a new user.
