Problems Configuring WebCam
Hello everyone,
I recently decided to reflash my Raspberry Pi 3+ B from scratch, opting for a fresh install of RatOS-v2.0.2. The installation process went quite smoothly until I encountered an issue with setting up the camera. I've configured the camera as a webcam/webrtc, and when I check with
lsusb, it confirms that the camera is indeed detected.
However, I'm facing challenges at this stage and could use some guidance. Here are the steps I've taken so far, specific to my Raspberry Pi setup:
- In the crowsnest.conf file, I changed the mode to camera-streamer.
- Back in Mainsail, I edited the web camera settings to select the "Camera Streamer" option.
- I also changed the URL Stream to webcam/webrtc.
Despite these adjustments, I'm still experiencing issues. If anyone has advice or suggestions on how to troubleshoot this further, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance for your help!
