on a raspberry pi zero 2 w

Camera : raspberry pi camera (B) Rev 2.0

**What is the problem?: The camera is connected and the LED on It is on but on the web page, it's printing ("webcam stream loading..") and it does not change. **

**What did you already try to solve?:

  1. the test stream URL doesn't show a video.
  2. add a -y to the octopi.txt file (camera_usb_options="-r 640x480 -f 10 -y") with no change.
  3. double-check the connections on the camera
  4. made sure that the camera is enabled in the raspi-config.**

Sorry the post is upgraded

nice but you forgot to mention which octopi image you're using :slight_smile:

use -y just if your usb webcam doesn't support MJPG, pictures will be captured in YUVY
--> not needed for a picam

by octopi image you mean version? if so octopi version:0.18.0 and octoprint version: 1.7.3

'Something got changed bigtime'? OctoPi 0.18 has been the same for over a year now. The camera streaming software doesn't change on it's own...
