Issue: Webcam does not work with Crowsnest / Mainsail
The webcam works perfectly fine with Octoprint (just tested again) but not with Mainsail.
First Issue: Not finding the camera (Resolved now!)
Looking in the crowsnest.log I find the message:
[08/04/23 13:35:54] crowsnest: INFO: Detect available Devices
[08/04/23 13:35:54] crowsnest: ERROR: No usable Devices Found. Stopping crowsnest.
Further tests:
I tried to reinstall the software a couple of times with different OS and made an interesting finding:
After installing Rasberry OS, the webcam does work. I can find it via SSH with the command libcamera-still --list-cameras
Same after individually installing and testing: Klipper, Moonraker and Mainsail. The command does find the camera.

But after installing Crowsnest, I get the message "No cameras available!"
Then I followed the guide here: https://crowsnest.mainsail.xyz/faq/how-to-setup-a-raspicam#troubleshooting editing the boot file and setting up crowsnest.conf, now I find the camera via the command.
Second issue (Not resolved)
Now the camera can be found, but in Mainsail I only get a gray screen and FPS 0.
What did you expect to happen
Webcam working in Mainsail
How to reproduce
Installing Crowsnest: Camera is not working anymore.
