Any known issues with a webcam on dwc 3.2.0-beta4?
-
I have not had a reason to use the webcam feature of dwc for some months. Today I can't get the function to work. I'm using Yawcam to run my usb camera and put it up on http://192.168.1.111:8888/.
I'm pretty sure this used to work. Now all I see if I view the Webcam tab is a windows that says "Webcam Surveillance" with a link (webcam image). If I click on the link the dwc appears to disconnect and reconnect to the printer. If I add the same url in the "URL to open when image is clicked (optional) setting I can then click on the webcam image link and see a static picture from the webcam. So I'm pretty sure the URL and port number is correct.
Has anything changed in how you set up a webcam that I missed in the release notes?

Does your webcam image provide a link to a still image?

Which browser?
Maybe a explanation:

@DIY-O-Sphere Current browser is Brave but I've recently tried the webcam using Firefox and Microsoft Edge with the same results.

@Phaedrux I assume so as I can open a browser tab and go to http://192.168.1.111:8888/ and I get a current static image from the camera. This address is what Yawcam 0.7.0 is advertising as its URL.
-
If you go to that address and then right click on the image itself and copy link you might be able to use that link.

@Phaedrux Thanks for the tip about getting the path from the image itself.
However... If I install an older dwc 2.1.2 this works OK.
The path http://192.168.1.111:8888/out.jpg results in a static image that refreshes at the set interval.If I reinstall the latest 3.2.0-beta4 version using the same path I do not see any image only a text link "webcam image". If I click on the link the dwc appears to disconnect and reconnect.
I've only tried 2.1.2 as that was what I had laying in my downloads folder. I've got some printing to do tonight but tomorrow I'll work my way up through the releases to see if I can find when it stopped working.
This is back to using Brave as the browser.

@Phaedrux I just ran a few tests using the dwc releases I find at https://github.com/Duet3D/DuetWebControl/releases
Any version prior to 3.2.0-b3 appears to work, specifically 3.1.1 displays the camera image. Any version after 3.1.1 does not display the camera image.
It would appear that something has changed.

@DaveA thanks for doing that testing.
This might be one for @chrishamm to take a look at.
