Raspberry Cam not streaming
Hi, I took the opportunity of the new SD mount of repetier-server for raspberry to add a cam to my setup.
I selected the pi cam preset in the printer setting and activated the timelapse under the Webcam tab.
All settings seems to be OK and the red indicator of my cam is up, showing that it's all good on that end.
However, I don't get any image in the display area. Only a blank square with a "rec" indicator (see here).
Any ideas where I could have gone wrong and what can be done to fix it?
Thanks

You could also test with different parameters for input_raspicam. E.g. -x 640 -y 480 would be an idea to set a smaller resolution to also reduce traffic.

the latest command you gave doesn't pass and adding sudo before doesn't give any feedback. I'm stuck at that point.
