I did a graceful terminate and waited a couple of hours but it is still updating the log file. Web UI says this:DuetLapse3 Version 5.0.3 Connected to printer at: 192.168.1.8:8086 Process Id: 598 Last Update: Tuesday - 15:32 Capture Status:= Completed DuetLapse3 State:= completed Duet Status:= processing Images Captured:= 88 Current Layer:= 33Updated log file

I'm not able to see the same issue on my test system (using Motioneye). It all works fine for me.
I think there may be an edge condition associated with the use of -extratime as this is where the program encountered issues. Unfortunately, if it was a Python issue (syntax or similar), it cannot be captured in the logs. It would only be visible in the , now, long gone console output.
It may also be associated with the polling of Duet as I saw a situation (in your log) that I have never seen before. In any case, the program got itself into a bind.
I am also not sure exactly what's happening at your end . I can see you used Terminate but I also see 8 instances of
M117 DuetLapse2.completedcommand. This suggests either you are isuing the commands from DWC or from one or more print jobs ? Can you help by explaining what happened ?I have a couple of ideas I need to think through but feel confident that I can avoid this condition.
If you have some time on your hands; you could try another run (without - extratime). Just set the program running (no print job needed), let it run until the UI Video tab tells you there are enough images to create a video) and then use Terminate-->Graceful. This should work just fine and if it does (or does not) will narrow the scope of what's happening in your case.

As for the multiple stop commands, it may be because I printed several things after duetlapse got stuck so commands were sent to duetlapse from that. In my end gcode I use this command:M98 P"DuetLapse3Stop.g" ;stop timelapseWhich calls a .g file that contains this command:
M117 DuetLapse3.completed ;Stop DuetLapse3 G4 S10 ;Wait 10 secondsI have several of those files, one for start, pause, continue, and stop. I have references to them in my start and stop gcode, and in my pause.g, resume.g, and cancel.g.
I tried doing a run without extratime and I was able to get a video. here's the log file.It may look a little odd because I started recording and then started a print and duetlapse caught on to that. I ended the recording before the print was done.

So will I be able to use extratime at some point in the future? -

Release Version 5.1.0
Continuing on the journey towards a plugin ....
Version 5.1.0
[1] Removed the use of M117 messages and replace with M291 messages as this gives much better control. Also there is no need for a delay after the message (as there was with M117).
[2] Set new default, minimum values for -seconds (20) and -poll (10) along with some logic changes to avoid an occassional race condition.
[3] Fixed a code error associated with -extratime
[4] Some minor bug UI / Typo fixesDetails on using M291 are here:
https://github.com/stuartofmt/DuetLapse3/tree/main/Documents -
See the post above. You will need to change M117 control messages to the M291 equivalent.
Note that there is no need for a delay after each message -

First of all, many thanks to @chrishamm @Falcounet @MintyTrebor and @T3P3Tony for all helping in progressing this plugin. Withouth their combined efforts it would still be where I left it late last year i.e. abandoned.
I'm very pleased to announce the pluging version of DuetLapse3.
The plugin uses the same source as the standalone version of DuetLapse3 but is easier to install than the standalone version. Other than that the standalone and plugin version have the same functionality.
https://github.com/stuartofmt/DuetLapse3/tree/main/plugin
The instructions for installing DuetLapse3 as a plugin are here:
https://github.com/stuartofmt/DuetLapse3/blob/main/plugin/plugin installation guide.md -
VERSION - 5.2.0 Released
[1] Fixed snapshot when called from gcode
[2] Process all M291 messages without delay
[3] Refactored loop control to prevent thread blocking
[4] Prevent first layer capture if -pause yes
[5] Added -password option to support passwords
[6] Released as a plugin for SBC -

It's currently set to require R3.4.5 because that is the latest stable release and the release I tested on.
I'm not sure if it would even work on the 3.5 beta releases. I'll rebuild it (likely tonight) with a requirement of > 3.4.5 and make a note on the tested release.
I'll let you know when its done.
-
@stuartofmt I think things have changed a fair bit between 3.4.5 and 3.5. @MintyTrebor can probably comment more
-
@stuartofmt You will probably have to re-compile based on the 3.5 src at the very least - there were significant changes from 3.4.5 to 3.5. You may also have to make some changes to your code to make it 3.5 compatible, and it's likely the 3.5 version you make will not be backwards compatible with 3.4.5.

Thanks - I'll leave the current verson as-is and upgrade to a beta version when I can.
@LuniLAB Its unlikely that I can get to this for a while. You can run DuetLapse3 independently i.e. not as a plugin if you like.

DuetLapse3 plugin is now available for 3.5.0.beta.3.
This due to the generous assistance of @MintyTreborhttps://github.com/stuartofmt/DuetLapse3/tree/main/plugin
Note that the plugins are specific to the DWC version and are not interchangeable.

Hi, if I understand correctly, the plugin is only compatible with Duet board with SBC? Not the standalone boards?

DuetLapse3 can be used either standalone or as a plugin. The code is common to both. The functionality is the same.
See the documentation here:
https://github.com/stuartofmt/DuetLapse3/blob/main/Documents/Getting Started.mdStandalone
DuetLapse3 can be installed (not as a plugin) on a linux or windows machine. DuetLapse uses python and its not possible / practical to run as a plugin on a standalone board.I recently changed a few file locations for better identification of versions. I just noticed that I have not updated a couple of links in the documentation.
For standale on version 3.4.5 DuetLapse3 is here:
https://github.com/stuartofmt/DuetLapse3/tree/main/Release 3.4.5
For standalone on version 3.5.0-beta.4, DuetLapse3 is here:
https://github.com/stuartofmt/DuetLapse3/tree/main/plugin/3.5.0-beta.4/dsf -
Also - if you are using the beta.4 version as standalone, you should copy this macro into your /sys folder

@stuartofmt Hi, thanks for the reply. I saw that there are 2 versions, the plugin and standalone version. What I meant was: does the plugin version only works when using the duet board in SBC mode? That's what the documentation would lead me to believe. Just wanted to make sure I understood correctly.
