You choose interesting and challenging things to try and experiment with.

Hi Chris, I have a couple of questions concerning this one. Octoprint is always in safemode and says plugins will be disabled (this is fixed by rebooting octoprint a couple of times). The only issue I still have is the following, so in settings when I test stream everything works well, same for snapchat. When I print a file I can see that the camera is timelapsing as it should. The problem I still have is that I can't see the camera footage in the "control" tab? Any ideas what might be wrong? And thanks alot man, you've brought me so much further than I ever thought :) + troubleshooting has learned me it all works perfect in firefox, not in chrome.
Most of the time this is caused by a browser issue. Delete all your cookies and it should start working again or try a different browser. If it is testing ok, this is about the only thing it could be.
Hi Chris, The vast majority of these things go way over my head, however I still love watching them as I take in information very slowly, and the more I tend to watch something it slowly starts to sink in a click, plus, the way in which you teach really helps a huge amount, as I have said before, I really wish I had teachers like you when I was in school... A quick question if I may please, with you using ip addresses, can you use these from anywhere in the world or are they just run by your own network... Again, thank you so much for both your time and sharing your knowledge as well as making learning fun again... All the very best... John...
Thanks again, John. You can run this from anywhere, you just need a router to route the traffic and there are some security concerns with doing that. The safest way would be to create a VPN to talk over.
For me, in order to allow me to see my webcam feed on another computer with Octoprint, I had to whitelist "yawcam_service.exe" on my firewall. If I didn't, I could see the feed on the host computer, but on my other laptop on the same network, it didn't show (and was driving me insane as I though I had messed the install and setup up)
First off your video are informative and to the point. YawCam not familiar with the software is it proprietary to a particular vendor or does it work with any camera?
Hey Chris ! awesome video !! But for some reason when I add the basedir to have separate directories when I execute the cmd window for Octorprint, it just closes ! can you type the whole C:\Octoprint\venv\Scripts\octoprint.exe serve..... so I can copy paste ?
Thank you for these videos! You've been a lifesaver. I had issues with my RP3+ connecting to my Ender 3 Pro. Tried everything: different power supplies, cords, ports, even different Raspberry Pis. I kept getting the dreaded can't detect port error. Installed Octoprint on my Windows server (which is literally sitting right beside my printer), got a cheap Logitech C270 working, and I'm back to printing. Now I have an extra Pi... Maybe time for a Pihole.
Hey I tryed to access octoprint from my main computer and everything works except the cam. I can still see the cam on my Octoprint Computer but not on my main computer. i Tryed open the ports in my router but still dont work. do u have any idea what I could do?
its not working for me, im just trying to use one webcam and octoprint just says "Webcam stream not loaded It might not be configured correctly or require authentication" what do i do?
Hey Chris, thanks for the video. I was using YawCam for my Repetier server win10 pc and thanks to what you have done i have just turned them into services, thank you again. catch you in the next one.
Got it working using just my Laptop built-in webcam now the only question I have is where do you find the cameras that will work? As I mentioned have a Gopro but not sure it will work.
@@ChrisRiley don't know where to look for a solution to this problem the screen on the printer displays garbage every once and awhile. The only way to clear it is to reset the printer?
I’ve followed this to a T multiple times and for whatever reason, my second instance/service refuses to connect to my second camera. I can connect to my laptops cam fine and run 2 services but my usb 2.0 cam and Logitech cam won’t run together. If I run just 1 service it will connect fine but I want to be able to monitor both instances at the same time. I have no idea where I’m going wrong. Please help
Off video topic I know but if you don't ask you don't need. You have lots and lots of tools and probably made more 3d models than I have had hot dinners. So can you please tell us what tools you use the most to clean up, alter, make good finished models? I am tempted to get a Dremel or cheaper as these machines seem to have a good amount of bits to do almost anything. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you
Hi! I just want to say, your tutorials are wonderfully informative and concise. I really enjoy your content. By the way, I 3d print, play drums, and have not cut my hair for more than 30 years. No wonder I think you are so cool....
oops,posted my reply on the wrong button----Yes, and it is always a pleasure to watch talented people do good things, I strive to do the same thing, I just do it in the pyro biz.
Hi. I have your video step by step (several times) but when I start the second yawcam, and try to switch to the second camera I get an error message that it can connect to device. I have noticed that the lock file is created and the second is locked because of that. Any idea, what I might be missing? The first instance See's both cameras
I have figured it out. The USB camera must be on a different physical connection. I had them both connected through a hub and it caused a shared resources. After moving the second camera to a different USB port on the laptop I had no trouble following your steps. by the way, the service method is not really needed.
@@ChrisRiley when you did this video didn't you have your printers and webcams connected to the powered usb hub? If so, how did you do it? I'm getting the same problem as the poster of this question and I must use a second usb port (of the only two I have) in order to setup my webcam to use in octoprint. This of course interferes with installation of another printer and webcam on my powered 8 port hub.
Went through both partc1 and part with no problem. I can log into octoprint on the server laptop and access my webcam from the stream test, but when I log into octoprint from my desktop and do rhe stream test it doesn't connect to the webcam. Any ideas? Thanks
I have heard all kinds of Windows octoprint issues happening. Windows updates have pretty much killed me install. I will have to look at the whole build and see what we can do.
This is definitely on my list of things to do. This will be so much better than buying more RPis. Just need to get a couple of powered hubs. Great work. Now can you reshoot the whole thing and cut it down to 7 minutes? LOL!
Was wondering do you take FFmpeg and place it in a particular dir and use that path for entry into Octoprint? There doesn't seem to be an install program in the zip file.
Yawcam services started on windows 10 pro, but cannot see them in Octoprint. On one says "No device selected" and the other "Webcam stream not loaded", any ideas? Both are configured correctly through Yawcam: selected device, setup ports, exited instance of yawcam, began new instance of yawcam in other yawcam folder, selected next device, setup ports, exited instance of yawcam. BTW, the services were stopped before the configuration, and then restarted (as administrator) after the configuration.
Hello Chris, great guide! I have some issues with octoprint not showing the stream...there's a webcam on a small laptop on which octoprint is installed too, both on the 192.168.1.3, when I use localhost:8081/video.mjpg in the browser it works, when I put it in octoprint to stream it doesn't... I also tried using 192.168.1.3:8081/video.mjpg with the same results, any ideeas what's going on ?!
The only thing I can think of it might be something with Windows firewall. Maybe it is block that port from working. Try turning it off and see if it works.
@@ChrisRiley Thank you very much, I have been trying to solve this problem for a week and I didn't know where to turn... Thanks for all the tutorials you do...
Hi Chris, great videos they are exactly what I am after for my 3D printer(s). Is there a way to get the servers to run automatically, say if the laptop/pc has to be restarted due to power loss? Cheers, Mike.
@@ChrisRiley oh cool I just installed windows octoprint and I am having trouble getting pluggins to work. Maybe I should try manually installing them in the terminal.
Hey Chris, great walk through. Although I only use 3 separate RPi's (1 per printer) it's always good to know this stuff. Are you planning a video on setting up a VPN? I'd love to see it. I'm thinking the ideal thing to use would be a RPi?
just because of something that happened to me I am sure this is second nature for you but for all others remember to use the spacebar I just entered the information because that's how it looked in the video but then it would start so I realized you needed to do space after the -- and stuff like that.
@@ChrisRiley but other than that my 2 c270 came today and came back to video to set them up and all is great. you should get a geeetech a20m and do videos on it so I can work through some minor issues I am haveing lol the ender 3 is a beast though lol. have a great new year

Awesome video and tutorial; THANK YOU!!! For accessing this remotely I have been using the Chrome Remote Extension which I can at least start and stop things from my phone or work laptop. It gets the job done for my needs and lets me control the printer computer as well. Hope to see an updated video in the future.
This is nut's ! 25 min video to get a camera to work through octoprint. Great turtorial btw, but shouldnt it be simple being that watching your print is as important as the print itself ?. Has this proccess got any better in 4 years ?if it has im missing it. Poor effort on octoprints development side.

Its a year late but was just following your video and found the link to the FFMPEG encoder broken. I was able to find another one through the use of Git since its a different process. Get into OctoPrint virtualenv. Git clone (github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg.git). Then the process is basically the same except you use (C:\OctoPrint\ffmpeg\fftools\ffmpeg.c) in FFMPEG location. Also need to enable FTP in YawCam. (Hope this helps any late comers. )
@@ChrisRiley No problem. Might want to check the ffmpeg part. Im getting rendering errors after the fact. Ill get back with a fix if you havent found one by then.

That is helpful.
Sweet!
Its a year late but was just following your video and found the link to the FFMPEG encoder broken. I was able to find another one through the use of Git since its a different process. Get into OctoPrint virtualenv. Git clone (github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg.git). Then the process is basically the same except you use (C:\OctoPrint\ffmpeg\fftools\ffmpeg.c) in FFMPEG location. Also need to enable FTP in YawCam. (Hope this helps any late comers. )
Oh yeah I believe I added a environment variable of ffmpeg.c ---> (location of ffmpeg.c). *Not sure if this is a fix or does anything. FYI*
Oh after 'git clone' do a 'pip install ffmpeg'
Thanks for posting this fix, I knew there were a few things different now.
@@ChrisRiley No problem. Might want to check the ffmpeg part. Im getting rendering errors after the fact. Ill get back with a fix if you havent found one by then.
