octoprint_install VS Octolapse

git clone https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_install.git.

I'm using an Inovato Quadra on my Ender 3 Pro. It was easy to setup with this script.

https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_install This is the installer script I used on my orange pi to set it up. Through the setup process it has you connect your webcam and set resolution and frame rate. Make sure you choose mjpg streamer vs ustreamer because Octolapse doesn't allow you to change camera settings if you choose ustreamer.

This script can help get Octoprint set up.

The guides I followed (this and this) both set the Octoprint service to autostart, so I can reboot from the browser or SSH or power cycle and Octoprint is active.

Should you have wanted to save yourself significant time, just could have just installed Debian and run the octoprint_install script: https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_install

Sorry, that's my bad. I'm running OctoPi on an old desktop, set up with Octoprint_Install: https://github.com/paukstelis/octoprint_install. The stream URL it gave by default is /cam_octoprint/?action=stream. Though while typing this comment, you did tip me off to something that actually fixed it! I was able to access my Octoprint instance with the Port 5000 URL, so never tried it without it. Once I deleted that port from the URL, I was able to access my Octoprint instance and the webcam stream is functioning! Thank you for your help!

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

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!
