Did you stop the docker before trying to connect the vm to the printer? Also have you allocated the serial usb to the vm, it needs to be "attached" to the vm for it to work, unlike a docker.

Have you tried manually opening the streams in an incognito/private window? You are on the right track me thinks. Copy n paste what the main url is MEANt to be rather than what is showing in the config.

Scrap that, I rereading what you have posted and can see you have. Too much going on in life rn and forgot i had already asked

I just love that unraid allows us to play like this. I know this might sound obvious, but only cause I have seen a few setups reading through this, but have you tried /dev/video1 ?

I think it must be outdated mate as its working fine on my setup. I did install the dvb drivers though as recommended. This should theoretically install the required kernel drivers needed to run a webcam. Glad the win11 vm worked as it shows that it is happily working with the system. Have you ever run it of a raspberri pi to ensure that it works happily with octoprint native? Its the last thing I can think of mate without remotely jumping in and trying to help. And knowing that you dont know me from a bar of soap, i dont know what else to do to help you. No-one else is commenting either which is a bit of a concern, but I had radio silence on my post as well. Linux is my daily driver and I know some cameras suck in native usage which is what the docker image will do. Running in win11 vm, unraid basiclly passes the whole port over to the operating system running in the vm so it all up to windows to make it work from that perspective. In the docker image, it is not done that way. What model of camera is it?

So it awesome that you plugged it into a windows box and it worked fine... Done well. But, like in my post earlier, I couldnt get the usb-serial driver to work "native" on my box that I am using with my anet a8+. I had to plug it into a usb hub (nfi why but something I had seen in the past). Can I ask you to try on a vm on that unraid machine please? 20 mins to spin up mint and you can delete when done, or even win10 if you can be bothered(understand if you didnt want too :))

Mate, you have got me. If it was me, i would drop linux mint or something on there as a vm, make sure the octo print one is off and see if you can attach the camera to vm and see if it is actually working. What model of camera is it too btw?

I have -y -n -r 1024x768 in mjpg streamer input fyi. My camera can do this res but prefers 720 x 568. But just send it I reckon

Yours looks almost exactly the same as mine cept for the obvious ip address difference.... What error message etc are you getting when you goto test the webcam address?

Im trying to remember, but I think the default web address could be incorrect with the docker config. How is your docker network setup and what url is the webconfig set to in octoprint config? DJ

When you have the docker image running, what dev are you pointing to for usb camera? For my particular setup it was /dev/video0 This was set under the actual edit details for the image. I also found that if you have any vm's running, they have a habit of auto connecting the camera to themselves, so having the USB Manager plugin helped oodles as I could easily detach from the vm before running up the docker so as to allow the camera to connect ok. As I had already set this in the docker image config, it would crash on loading if the camera was already assigned to a vm.... Did my head in for a couple of days

Hi all, primary reason for jumping into the forum tonight: I have updated to latest and all I get is execution error when I try and start it... Any thoughts. I cant even see the logs as it does before I can. Second thing to all of those that struggle to get a serial connection... I have an anet a8 and a8 plus. This is gonna sound weird, but here me out... I cannot plug them into raw usb port and have them work. I MUST plug them into a usb hub before the serial usb device works properly. I know not why, but as soon as i do that, it works flawlessly. And now that I think about this, there is another device I need to test to see if it is why I keep getting a similar problem... But if anyone could help me with execution error, It would be appreciated! Many thanks for reading NOTE:Hey guys, ended up solving it meself and hopefully this will help someone else. For some reason, on of my vm's decided it would be great to have a webcam. Once I disconnected said webcam, the image fired straight up and i'm back to printing no worries! Have an awesome day guys!
