So, the interesting part of this is that I had everything working before the updates and now they just failed. I’ve looked through the code and the only difference I can find is that the “device controls” for my libcamera no longer populate. This causes the ERROR: of starting the camera-streamer service.

I have a raspberry pi 4b set up with the 64-bit bookworm. I’ll try to attach the codes. Does anyone have an idea why this error is occurring, or what I can do to solve it?

This is when the code worked:

And the camera settings in fluidd that allowed it to work on initial configuration.

Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide. And again, I have noticed the libcamera device controls are now missing when it fails to stream. That’s the only lead I have, and I don’t know how to fix it short of a full system reinstallation.

Thanks!

</div>

After spending my day troubleshooting the issue, I decided to follow the idea I found [here](https://klipper.discourse.group/t/issues-with-csi-cameras-and-crowsnest-fluidd/15617). I backed up my configuration files and then reinstalled my RPi operating system with the 32 bit instead of 64 bit (OS lite for both). I currently don’t have any issues, but I also didn’t have any issues before.

One thing that I found particularly annoying was I needed to remove the setup in my printer.cfg that allowed me to do resonance testing for input shaping. In hindsight, it is because I never split the cpu like is required in the resonance testing setup, but it took a while for me to figure out I needed to cut it out of the code.

TLDR: completely re-setup the system and maybe your issues will go away (but maybe some unexpected problems might pop up if you re-do it with no changes).

I had this exact same issue and fixed it by re-installing crowsnest with KIAUH. Just had to re-configure the crowsnest.conf file.

</div>

I tried re-installing crowsnest with KIAUH to no avail, seems to be an issue with my 64 bit OS, same as OP ://

I’m not looking forward to reinstalling from scratch, kicking myself for not just going with 32 bit from the get-go.

I should note that after reinstalling crowsnest, WebRTC seems to be streaming fine to /webcam/control and /webcam/?action=stream, the only issue is that the stream doesn’t embed properly in my Fluidd homepage

Before reinstalling, camera-streamer was failing to start according to crowsnest.log
