What happened

I use the following devices:

  • Raspberry Pi Camera 1.3
  • Raspberry Pi 3b
  • Sovol SV06 Plus (not relevant here)

And software:

  • Raspberry OS lite and full both tested
    Via Kiauh:
  • Klipper
  • Moonraker
  • Mainsail
  • Crowsnest

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
