Thankyou so much, I had a feeling I was missing something I just didn't know enough, to actually know where to start looking

I would have never worked that out myself, I was close with a couple of things I tried but would have never thought to add the "-camera1 other"

I'll try it when my current print finishes, Thankyou So Much Your a Legend!!

Hey, Thankyou for the quick response.

I had completely missed the ffmpeg version issue. So it turns out I was running 4.1.6 so I'v updated that and i'll see how it goes on tonight's print.

Regarding the -r and resolution issue here is everything I know...

I am using a logitech 1080p webcam connected via usb - I previously had this exact issue with the old script but was able to fix it with the following command:

./DuetLapse/DuetLapse.py -duet "Hostname" camparms -parms -r 1920x1080

This was based on code discussed by baenwort and arhi from the old thread. For me it solved the issue.

I suspect the issue isn't with the duetlapse software and more likely me getting the syntax wrong, or that I need to set the camera somewhere else now.. But that is the bit i'm not 100% sure how to solve/find. I tried playing around camera1 parameters but didn't have much success.

Edit, I'm not sure what software is capturing the images, but i'm assuming fswebcam is doing it maybe?? this is where my linux knowledge runs out

Hi,

I recently swapped from Danal's to this version, but I am having issues with the resolution of the images? In the old version I could use -r to force them to be taken at 1920x1080 but for some reason I am stuck with images that are 352x288

The code I am currently running is:
python3 ./DuetLapse/DuetLapse3.py -duet tronxyduet2 -detect pause -extratime 5

I tried to work out the camera parameters for this version myself but I have to admit Linux is not my strongest point. I am running this on a Pi V3

Also possibly related/unrelated when the print finished and it went to make the video, the video came out as 0kb..

For Reference I am running:
RepRapFirmware for Duet 2 WiFi/Ethernet 3.2.2 (2021-02-11)
Duet Web Control 3.1.1
