Error installing motion webcam plugin and connecting Webcam

techworld

Hi all, we are using the following:
Board: Duet 3 MB6XD (MB6XD)
DSF Version: 3.4.5
Firmware: RepRapFirmware for Duet 3 MB6XD 3.5beta1 (2022-12-23)
DWC version 3.4.5

We are trying to install 'Motion webcam plugin' using Raspberry Pi SBC connected to Duet3 6XD board. While installing the plugin, we are getting the following error message.

We have tried the following @chrishamm procedure.

Installed the plugin from https://github.com/Duet3D/DSF-Plugins/releases/tag/v3.4.0

Also, we tried using RPI camera and normal USB camera. We have entered the Webcam URL as http://duet3:8081/0/stream (duet3 the default host name).

It is showing the Webcam option below the Job. But it is showing the error message 'duet3 refused to connect'

Could you please support.

Thank you...

@techworld First of all, it's bad practice to use different firmware and DSF/DWC versions. Do not install firmware updates directly over the web interface in SBC mode, do it via apt update/upgrade instead.

Once connected over SSH/Linux terminal, check if apt update succeeds. Perhaps your machine doesn't have internet access but requires it to download the libgnutls30 package.
