What is the problem?
I used a FOSCAM C1 lite to make a stream on my print. There is a correct Ip adress to see it but you need to open it through a navigator with the correct plugin to open it.
Octoprint can't access like that on my camera because it's not a direct HTML link
for example I can access to the webcam through VLC by typing this link exactly :
rtsp://[user]:[psswd]@[IP]:554/videoMain
What did you already try to solve it?
I've tried a lot of thing to resolve it.
I have a prusa MK3S, first I wanted to install octoprint on a Rpi0W because I thought it was a sexy way to do it but then I saw that it is hardly not recommended to use with octoprint. Then I installed Octoprint on RPI3B. And i let the RPI0W in the prusa thinking that I could use it to convert the RTSP to FFmpeg and make a correct link for octoprint.
Then I followed those topics :

MJpeg-streamer paragraphe
then I tried this without success
and this : Using ffmpeg for webcam streaming and timelapse support
then I tried this :
then I tried this path :
and then I tried to use snapstream
but it doesn't work verry well ...
Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, octoprint.log
, serial.log
or output on terminal tab, ...)
I've the latest version of octoprint : Version 1.3.10
I would like to use mys foscam even if it's not a great cam,
If you say me that I will never be able to make it work properly I will change it
but I think there is also a lot of people who need to solve this problem
