Setting up Raspberry HQ Camera - nothing happens after assigning the camera.

I recently bought and installed Repetier on my raspberry Pi 4 Model B.
Along with the raspberry, I also have the HQ Raspberry camera which I used on octoprint in the past (on the same raspberry, I just switched SD cards).

I now am trying to set up the camera for my Prusa I3 mk3s+ but when I select the "Pi camera" in the list of available camera's and click on assign. I see nothing happening.

I tried running taom -f /var/log/messages in a shell and I do see some settings there changing when I click on assign but I never worked with this before so I'm not really sure how the output should look like.

I'm running Repetier server pro 1.3.0

Any tips or advice would be much appreciated!

Kind regards,

Pieter

  • Before clicking assign did you also add a webcam at the top? Assign just copies the urls to the currently selected webcam. You should then already see a preview of the webcam. After that save config. You should see a webcam tab in printer tabs and also see webcams in control/console if browser is wide enough.

    also can you acces webcam on http://ipOfPi:9000 which is the url of mjpg streamer. If that works it is just bad configuration in the server config of the printer. If it does not appear mjpg_streamer has stopped after starting for some reason and we would need to check that way.
