Hi
Fairly new to Octoprint, only been running it since early Feb after I got a Ender 3 V3 SE for xmas and was feedup of using the SD card so grabbed a spare Pi 3B which wasn't being used and installed Octopi with the new camera stack from the official Raspberry Pi Imager.
I've got Octoprint up and running and various plugins working fine and I love it, in March my brother in law gave me an old webcam so I thought I could use it for Octoprint but never had any luck on 1.10.3 and having just updated to 1.11.0 it's renewed my interest in getting the camera working. I've tried again and simply cant get it working, when I look at the camerastack-journal log I can see it trying to start the camera but the failing with a 255/EXCEPTION error.
vcgencmd get_camera shows the following : supported=1 detected=0, libcamera interfaces=0
v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext shows :
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
Type: Video Capture
[0]: 'JPEG' (JFIF JPEG, compressed)
Size: Discrete 160x120
Size: Discrete 320x240
Size: Discrete 640x480
Any suggestions to help get this working would be greatly appreciated.
