Octolapse VS OctoPrint-OctoEverywhere

Here's an older tutorial on having Octolapse call on gPhoto2 to get the DLSR images - https://github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/wiki/V0.4---Configuring-a-DSLR

"Installing plugin from https://github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/releases/tag/v0.3.4... Error! Could not install plugin from https://github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/releases/tag/v0.3.4, was neither a plugin archive nor a single file plugin"

Try installing from the plugin manager by clicking 'get more' and using this url: https://github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/archive/refs/heads/devel.zip

If you get an error when installing it like I did, this page was helpful. You can download the zip and install it from the plugin manager. https://github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/issues/787

Have you gone through the Octolapse guide? https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/octolapse/. There’s a lot of info in there with suggestions. It mentions the wiki. That’s a great resource too: https://github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/wiki

This is the link to the instructions for enabling Custom Image Preferences.

Trying to install octolapse, so far its the only plug in giving me issue, all the others work fine.. I just get this - Installing plugin "Octolapse" from https://github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/archive/master.zip...

Some stringing is unavoidable (especially for bowden setups), but excessive stringing is usually settings related. If you have not done so, go through this guide and make sure 'automatic slicer settings' are used and correctly configured. If you are using Prusa Slicer, make sure you enable 'verbose gcode'. The smart layer trigger is usually your best bet, or 'snap to print' if you are more interested in quality vs a perfect timelapse. Lastly, check out this official guide on print quality. Good luck!

You should try OctoEverywhere for remote access, AI failure detection, and more! I might be biased, since I’m the developer behind the project. But I would love to know what you think if you try it!

Yes it is! check it out it's actually very easy to set up. It only takes a few minutes. I just set it up a few days ago. I use it with the mobileraker app. The basic version is free.

I browsed the https://github.com/QuinnDamerell/OctoPrint-OctoEverywhere/tree/master/moonraker_installer and didn't see any script to remove octoeverywhere.

To fix your problem: There are however various solutions to access/connect to your octoprint instance when you are not at home. I myself for example am using a VPN that's hosted on my router which I can login to. Then, my cellphone data internet connection works like as if I were at home in my local network (WiFi), hence giving me access to my octoprint instance. Another possibility would be to use services like OctoEverywhere. There you would have to create an account and install the plugin in octoprint. Basically it works like this: your printer connects to the servers from OctoEverywhere via a secure connection. OctoEverywhere will then provide you with an URL where you can connect to your printer (via their servers).

I mean I guess the simplest way would be to use something like OctoEverywhere to send a notification when the print is paused.

Nice work bud, this is the repo? https://github.com/QuinnDamerell/OctoPrint-OctoEverywhere also you support all the proprietary chats, do you support any good protocols, like matrix?

OctoEverywhere : Failure detection worked OK but missed a lot. It was expensive for home use. Obico self hosted : fails to connect to server often, also missed a lot.
