I'm runnin Mainsail on a RPI4 for my 3D printer, and I connected a Logitech C920 camera which is streaming video on http:///webcam/?action=stream using Crowsnest

Hello, thank you for looking into this for me. The 3d printer is running Tailscale on a Raspberry Pi. I’ve tried accessing the stream from both Windows computers and iOS. There are no error messages, just a black screen with a forever-spinning wheel. I can access the GUI, it’s just the video stream that is not going thru. I’m not sure if it uses multicast trafficking. I’m a newbie in these matters. The specific service involved is called Crowsnest. https://github.com/mainsail-crew/crowsnest

That resolved the issue for me. Issue thread: https://github.com/mainsail-crew/crowsnest/issues/112

You need to install crowsnest

Wasn't happy with my USB webcam (field of view too narrow) so I picked up a Pi Camera V3 (wide). Removed my old USB webcam and added the Pi V3 camera, but I only see a black screen displaying "No signal", but I do get a framerate. I've done several searches and found at least two solutions. The first solution ends up at a dead end link and the other one is for spyglass ( GitHub - roamingthings/spyglass: A simple mjpeg server for Picamera2 ). This page though assumes I speak Linux a lot better than I actually do though as it doesn't tell me how to get it onto my pi to even try it. Does anyone have a workaround for the Pi camera V3 No Signal problem, or can they walk me through the spyglass fix. For example, if I ever figure out how to install it, would I run it as an application or server? Below is my Crowsnest config just in case the problem is in there.

You need to use this instead of Crowsnest
