Pi Camera V3 / Crowsnest not working

Hi, Currently I am having issues with my camera. Initially I had a pi camera V2 which didn’t work after the crowsnest V4 update. When carefully taking all these (https://os.ratrig.com/blog/crowsnest-v4-breaking-changes-manual-upgrade/) steps the Pi still wouldn’t recognize the camera. After quite some time fiddling around it got very frustrated and I bought an Pi camera V3 wide hoping this would work. Unfortunately this is not the case ☹. I get a black screen for the webcam and no image. Hopefully you could help me solving this issue. I have absolute no clue how I could fix this. Current status: - Pi 3 B+ with Camera V3 wide connected with original short CSI cable - New ‘fresh’ install of Ratos 2.0.2 , 32-bit version - Everything fully updated - In /boot/config.txt I changed gpu_mem=256 since I have 1gb ram - Reinstalled crowsnest V4 (master) -> this solved input/output error in libcamera-hello - Still got a buffer error when executing libcamera-hello but no error in crowsnest log I still get a totally black screen

After getting some help it turned out that a V3 camera doesn't work together with a screen. This is causing the issues. Using these steps I was able to go back to legacy stack and use ustreamer with the V2 camera again; https://crowsnest.mainsail.xyz/faq/how-to-setup-a-raspicam#ov5647-and-or-klipperscreen I am very happy that I have a working camera again, unfortunately not the V3 wide camera 😅

Really?! Are you using crowsnest V4? Could you share your crowsnest.conf and /boot/config.txt? Oh and do you use a pi 3 or pi4?
