Crowsnest v4 contains breaking changes and requires manual steps to...

Crowsnest just recently made huge changes to the way it works. This is great news, because it should be much faster and more reliable. Unfortunately, it also means that there are major breaking changes, and you'll need to do some manual steps to upgrade. When you update to V4 through the machine tab in mainsail, crowsnest will stop working until...

Good to know, but I am still on V3

NNMGMarques Good to know, but I am still on V3

Might help to update

Why did you install sonar?

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 12:14 AM

I have a print running. I'll try to update it tomorrow as it is getting late. Well... not as late as for you. Plus 1 hour where you are, I assume

M

miklschmidt•5/23/23, 12:14 AM

It is known to cause problems with the network on RatOS. I don't know if it has anything to do with your webcam problem. But worth mentioning.

M

miklschmidt•5/23/23, 12:15 AM

indeed 02:14AM

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 12:15 AM

I installed sonar because from time to time my instance stopped responding. The prints would continue printing, but I could not reache the web ui.

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 12:15 AM

As if the network stopped.

M

miklschmidt•5/23/23, 12:15 AM

Did it solve it?

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 12:15 AM

So I installed sonar and since then I haven't had issues.

M

miklschmidt•5/23/23, 12:16 AM

Ok good

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 12:16 AM

At least as far as I can tell.

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 12:16 AM

Haven't had a problem in months.

M

miklschmidt•5/23/23, 12:16 AM

I have the opposite issue. Without sonar everything works, forever. If i install sonarr, nothing works

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 12:16 AM

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 12:16 AM

Thats software for you.

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 12:17 AM

ok... So I'll finish up what I am doing, leave the current print running, and tomorrow morning I'll try and upgrade to v4.

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 12:17 AM

Must read, first.

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 12:19 AM

Will I set this for both instances of cameras?

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 12:19 AM

Change URL Stream and URL Snapshot to webcam/webrtc

Change URL Stream and URL Snapshot to webcam/webrtc

Change URL Stream and URL Snapshot to webcam/webrtc

Change URL Stream and URL Snapshot to webcam/webrtc

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 12:20 AM

Or do I have to add a number as with the current solution?

NNMGMarques Will I set this for both instances of cameras?

M

miklschmidt•5/23/23, 12:20 AM

yes, remember different ports though

NNMGMarques `Change URL Stream and URL Snapshot to webcam/webrtc`

M

miklschmidt•5/23/23, 12:21 AM

this would be webcam/webrtc and webcam1/webrtc .. i think.. sec

M

miklschmidt•5/23/23, 12:22 AM

webcam/webrtc and webcam2/webrtc

indeed

N

Ok. I'll give it a go and report back.

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 12:25 AM

Thanks!

M

miklschmidt•5/23/23, 12:26 AM

also you should be able to get 30 fps in v4

N

Ohhhhhh!!!

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 2:14 AM

M

miklschmidt•5/23/23, 2:37 AM

you need to do

cd ~/crowsnest

cd ~/crowsnest

cd ~/crowsnest

cd ~/crowsnest first
I'll update the guide.

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 3:04 AM

It is working.

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 3:04 AM

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 3:04 AM

But I am getting a lot of banding because of the lights / frequency.

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 3:04 AM

is there any way to adjust the frequency for the camera?

NNMGMarques is there any way to adjust the frequency for the camera?

toml•5/23/23, 7:32 AM

You could see if there are any v4l options for that

Ttoml You could see if there are any v4l options for that

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 11:04 AM

You mean like changing

v4l2ctl: power_line_frequency=0

v4l2ctl: power_line_frequency=0

v4l2ctl: power_line_frequency=0

v4l2ctl: power_line_frequency=0 to

v4l2ctl: power_line_frequency=1

v4l2ctl: power_line_frequency=1

v4l2ctl: power_line_frequency=1

v4l2ctl: power_line_frequency=1? Tried that and didn't see any difference.

NNMGMarques is there any way to adjust the frequency for the camera?

M

miklschmidt•5/23/23, 11:10 AM

you'd need to change the shutter speed, usually you have no fine control over that on web cams.

N

NMGMarquesOP•5/23/23, 11:11 AM

You mean, opening them up?
