Camera model
5 Megapixel Infrared Night Vision IR-CUT Camera For Raspberry Pi from eBay. The camera works fine as I have taken pictures using raspistill (although very out of focus I think? I will be playing with this once I can stream live.).
What is the problem?
OctoPrint is not seeing the camera, saying webcam server is currently not running. Running OctoPrint 1.6.0 on a Pi 3B+. The camera is new and so has not connected before. OctoPrint itself works fine, I have been printing for a couple of months with it.
What did you already try to solve it?
Tried various random things I've found from googling the issue like disabling auto-connect, changing resolution in octopi.txt. It has been rebooted, the camera disconnected and reconnected, cable changed (this was before I realised the camera was working fine). I'm at a loss as to what to try as I dont really understand what the issue is beyond "it won't connect".
