Webcam not found after Update to Crowsnest v4
After Update of my 3.1 to Crowsnest V4 my Raspi-Cam (CSI) is not working any more.

The cam was working before without any problems. It was working with port /dev/video0.
The same cam is working on my V-Minion with the same settings but this one is not updated to Crowsnest V4
Any ideas what I can try to let my webcam work again?

Did you reinstall crowsnest? V4 has many breaking changes. See blog post:

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.

You will need to do the process outlined in the blog on your V-minion too.
Please post crowsnest.log

I have the same. After the update, the RB Pi camera (Waveshare Camera HD B OV5647) is not recognized. I did everything as in instructions (in Blog and by tomlawesome). Crowsnest v4 reinstalled twice, webRTC in browser is enabled. [05/24/23 23:20:36] crowsnest: [cam 1]

rival-black•13mo ago
For me exactly same, don´t need to post any logs or configs, all same with others here
rare-sapphire•13mo ago
Yes, of course I followed the manual step by step!
Yes, I will do this evening but it will look like the ones before. No error exept the "No usable devices found" in the end. That's why I posted it in a short version.
rival-black•13mo ago
Same with nobbistyles, also followed the manual step by step, also double double check everything. use this cheap pi camera. Before updating camera was working. Done update after reading blog post, so did all under control of blog post. Any way go back to version 3 in a simple way? Or better wait or a solution?
jolly-crimson•13mo ago
Can you confirm which version of Raspberry camera you have?
For now you can switch back to
legacy/v3 by following the blog post to uninstall. Before you reinstall, switch the git branch:
git checkout legacy/v3
sudo make install
And you should be able to use your old configuration for now.
If you have raspberry camera v3, there is a project going on to add support this using another package.

I use this cheap 5MP Camera labelled as Raspberry Pi Camera Rev 1.3
rare-sapphire•13mo ago
I use a OV5647 5MP Nightvision Cam.
rival-black•13mo ago
this one
rare-sapphire•13mo ago
jolly-crimson•13mo ago
I'd recommend trying to use the
legacy/v3 option for now. If that doesn't work, I'd create a support thread over in https://discord.com/channels/758059413700345988/1036329187771957269 as the developers of Crowsnest will be able to help you better.rival-black•13mo ago
I can see, this problem seems to affect several people. For me I just keep my system as is (Crowsnest 4) without working camera and wait for an update solving the problem. So long i will use an independent security-cam towatch my prints. Anyway learned something for myself: Don´t hurry with updates, wait some time, before update just clone the SD-card. So if anything fails, just change SD-card and wait for better updates.
Anyway thanks alot to all the ones, assisting and helping and doing research and development. 👍
jolly-crimson•13mo ago
That’s probably easiest yeah. Second hand Logitech c270 off eBay works well too I think if you prefer to wait until raspberry cam support is fixed.
I got one off eBay for just £5 and there’s a printable modification to adjust focus point.
national-gold•13mo ago
Waveshare OV5647 camera works fine with default mjpeg settings after temporarily reverting to legacy/v3 👍 . Now waiting for updated v4.
rare-sapphire•13mo ago
OV5647 5MP Nightvision Cam works with legacy/V3 too
jolly-crimson•13mo ago
Good news.
rare-sapphire•13mo ago
Thank you Helge, will try that this evening and report here if it works for my cam.
@Helge Keck @helmuts1 and @buszmen61
I just followed Helge's Link ( https://discord.com/channels/582187371529764864/937654723727745046/1110775921276887111 ) and can confirm that it works for my OV5647 5MP Nightvision Cam too.
The entry of dtoverlay=ov5647 to /boot/config.txt made crowsnest able to detect the cam again.
/base/soc/i2c0mux/i2c@1/ov5647@36 was the device to enter in the crowsnest.conf like in the description too.
My cam is running with 1920 x 1080 at 30fps now!
@miklschmidt maybe you want to add this to the crowsnest blog entry

Thank you for posting this fix. Although I am able to use my camera again, everything now has a horrible magenta cast to it and for the life of me I can't figure out why.

I tried 2 times according to the Blog: reinstallation, legacy camera - disabled, added line: dtoverlay=ov5647. Camera - recognized, stream - started, and ... black screen😐

Thanks Prav ! 👍 Now works fine
Im using rpi v2 and after this update IT stopped to work. Ive followed this manual and my camera started to work again but nów IT hangs my print. I receive communication that mcu is overloaded or bad wiring etc When im trying to print. Before was working fine. When i turn off crowsnest IT works.
Pi might be using too many resources with the settings you’re using? Try turning down resolution and/or framerate
I was using the same settings as before. 1280x720 and 15fps. Previously was no issues.
I just now noticed you said "Rpi v2". That is actually not supported.
Try switching back to mjpeg
If that doesn't work you can go back to crowsnest v3, by running the steps in reverse. Ie. uninstall, checkout legacy/v3, reinstall.
Okay, will do that
If the issues persist you might want to create a thread here: https://discord.com/channels/758059413700345988/1036329187771957269
