Rescue timelapse after Power failure
Hi, I didn't know where to post this so please feel free to move this thread if it belongs somewhere else.
I just did a 60+ hour print and there was a power out in our building at around 40h into the print. I will be able to recover the print but also want to safe the time-lapse pictures I did with the moonraker time-lapse plugin.
The problem is I selected autorender before starting the print. As it didn't finish there is no completed print and hence no autorendered time-lapse file.
However the plugin has to safe the individual pictures somewhere. Does someone know where so I can recover them before fixing the print/starting the printer and creating a new time-lapse?
Greetings,
Vince

from the config-file:
Following basic configuration is default to most images and don't need
to be changed in most scenarios. Only uncomment and change it if your
Image differ from standart installations. In most common scenarios
a User only need [timelapse] in there configuration.
#output_path: ~/timelapse/
Directory where the generated video will be saved
#frame_path: /tmp/timelapse/
Directory where the temporary frames are saved
so you should look in /tmp/timelapse on your pi, unless you changed it.
Thanks a lot! Will have a look at it when restarting the printer.
Would this path be accesable from within Mainsail?

No I think you have to login.
By login you mean loggin in through putty?

That is a good start
As I haver never done anything like that before besides the time-lapse plugin, woul you mind telling me how to download the content of the above mentioned path through putty?

I would love to, but I assume you use windows and I don't know how to do it in windows.
No problem. Will have a look online then. Thanks alot!
