[Video] Adding a USB Webcam to DWC with a Raspberry Pi

PCR

Which USB Camera are you using?

@PCR well I'm not; I got a raspi cam.

My first attempt was with the line INPUTOPTS="input_raspi.so" as described in the guide but that didn't work out either.

I thought I would try with your config that seemed to be working as it seems the issue is with the interface not loading; I would assume if the camera was setup wrong the GUI would still load, just show no image.

PCR

Sorry. Raspi Cam is Not working with the SNAP. Interface will only be loade when camera is working.

I saw on github a new plugin for raspi cams for DWC

Best

@PCR Thanks, I did manage to get it working just for a few moments before it froze and I can't get it to run again lol (the interface load, not the cam)

But I'll keep trying and keep you posted

Installed on rasp pi3 with octoprint and activated on DWC with Logitech C270 webcam. It works.
Now I have to fix the Timelapse.

PCR

@gdefranc with duetlapse easy. But use the snapshot Screen of Mjpg

PCR

And the DuetAPI from @jay_s_uk

You can turn a Pi zero+ cam as a usb webcam, using https://github.com/showmewebcam/showmewebcam

I use a PizeroW with the Pi cam module and MotionOS to turn it into a webcam. It works very well with DWC and makes for a very small and very functional cam.
