Hello, in the past I installed Octoprint on Raspberry Pi 4 and used a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920x to monitor the print process via live feed from a browser. It worked sometimes but often for unknown reason, the connection was lost and I had to shut down and restart the Pi.
Since I am now using Raspberry 5 and Klipper, what is the best option to use to have a live video feed? Shall I use the same camera or it is better to get a RPi camera?
Why Octoprint is needed when Klipper can do live stream and seemingly other things?
My problem is that after setting up the camera, it only shows FPS: 00 or 01 most of the time. Once in awhile, it showed 02 or 03. There is delay when it is supposed to show the video images in real-time.
According to the following page, adding “custom_flags: --format=YUYV” in crowsnest.conf would solve the problem but it doesn’t in my case.
If you want higher FPS, I’d recommend moving the camera streaming software off your Klipper host. An ethernet connection is good too. This is a limitation of the processing power of the Pi, and it can’t handle running a high FPS camera and printing with Klipper simultaneously.
