          I'm the author of https://github.com/kriechi/DuetRRF-timelapse - Ask me Anything 😃

          Generating timelapse videos is quiet an opinionated topic in 3D-printing - everybody has a slightly different setup and preferred way of doing it. This is how I currently run my printer setup:

          There are two things needed to make print-synced timelapses:

          • your slicer needs to insert the M118 commands on every layer change
          • your raspberry pi needs to run the timelapse.py script

          You need to enable Telnet support in your Duet board with M586 P2 S1.
          You can start the timelapse script on your RaspberryPi like this:
          ./timelapse.py some-folder-for-all-images/ 192.168.1.42 http://127.0.0.1:8080/?action=snapshot
          (with the IP address of the Duet printer, and the URL is in my case mjpg-streamer returning a single jpg image)

          Hi, I've seen that you have updated the scripts and I've installed them....following the instruction nothing works, tho enly way to make it take snapshot is, on putty, to insert manually the command:
          python3 /usr/local/bin/duet_timelapse.py /home/pi/timelapse_tmp 192.168.1.7 "http://192.168.1.13:8081?action=snapshot"
          but in this way it captures the snapshot but doesn't produce the final rendering...without python3 it doesn't work at all, so I've changed duet_timelapse.service in this way:

          [Unit]
          Description=Duet Printer Timelapse
          Wants=network-online.target
          After=network-online.target
          StartLimitIntervalSec=0

          [Service]
          ExecStart=python3 /usr/local/bin/duet_timelapse.py /home/pi/timelapse_tmp 192.168.1.7 "http://192.168.1.13:8081?action=snapshot"
          User=pi
          Group=pi
          Restart=always
          RestartSec=1s
          Environment=PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1

          [Install]
          WantedBy=multi-user.target

          but it doesn't work, I've tried to insert python3 /usr/local/bin/duet_timelapse.py /home/pi/timelapse_tmp 192.168.1.7 even in crontab but it doesn't work....what am I missing?

            You should not need the python3 ... prefix.
            What does systemctl status duet_timelapse.service say?

              systemctl status duet_timelapse.service

              it looks ok

                Nope - "auto-restart" means it crashed somewhere...

                What does journalctl -t duet_timelapse.service say?

                    Whats your current ExecStart line? I think you might have messed around with it a bit too much 😃

                      uh surely, how can I see the ExecStart?

                          I've pushed another update - turns out I had the ffmpeg option disabled instead of enabled.

                          With the latest update you need to pass in this extra command line argument: --run-ffmpeg

                              IT WWWWWWOOOOORRRRKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Great jon my friend, great job!!! Thanks a lot for everything!!!

                              ok, it works with the example print but not with mine....I've inserted the GCODE in the layer change but it doesn't take the pictures...tha GCODE works because when the layer changes I see the nozzle stopping for a while....I'm using Ideamaker as slicer....any idea?
                              EDIT:
                              It started to wokr after about 6-7 layers....they are not so small layers, it take about 30-40 secs each to complete
