It depends a lot on the settings you already have. The documentation is pretty comprehensive but there is a lot of it

Can you explain the sequence of events and the settings you have? I can then explain how it should work with those settings.

For example, if you have seconds > 0 and dontwait (explicit or logical) and are not in 'standby' then after the prior print: images will continue to be captured eveny 'n' seconds and placed in a folder. When you start the next print job, the folder (and logfile) will be renamed to the name of the print job (keeping the accumulated images). I suspect this is what you are seeing.

There are a couple of ways to change the behavior e.g. using -standby in the options will stop capture after the print job (no matter other settings). It does require a 'start' (from the UI or otherwise) at the start of the print job to allow.

If you are not using seconds and just using -detect layer and not using -standby then at the end of the print job, no images will be captured until the start of the next print job (and folders / logs get renamed with the jobname)

Another way is to send messages to DuetLapse3 to finely control the behavior using gcode. This is what I do

In 3.4.5 the M291 message command was used but recent changes in Duet3d firmware mean that does ot work as well as I would like. I'm finishing a custom alternative (likely today) and can walk you through it if yo like ?

for some reason when I click on the video now I get this message:

@Aurimas

Please start a new thread and include a logfile with -verbose set

@stuartofmt i think the issue might be with the length of the name. is there anyway to rename files?

Please start a new thread. i.e. something other than "printer is not connected" (since this issue is solved).

Include a logfile with -verbose set together with a clear description of the problem and I'll take a look.

@stuartofmt so the plugin keeps crashing - starts fine then after a little while crashes.
sometimes it is possible to restart from plug in section and sometimes need to reboot Pi.
Log file is attached.
it happens fairly often

Please see my post above. Others cannot benefit when you add a new problem to an existing (solved) problem.

When you repost - I will try to assist.
