A1 Mini Webcam

[TLMcNulty]

I've done some searching but haven't found anything. The Bambu plugin and workflow works well once you understand how to use this plugin, but I'm familiar with the RTC streams in the new camera stack stuff in octoprint, and was wondering if there was any documentation on getting the A1 Mini's webcam into a platform like octoprint. May be out of scope for this plugin but I was hoping it'd be possible to add to my multicam setup.

A few resources I've come across:

Yeah, synman's approach is something we kind of worked out together and probably the only way to integrate well with OctoPrint. I actually use go2rtc and point to my x1c's rtsp stream, then use the HLS link for that stream in OctoPrint's classic webcam settings.

Very impressive. I was able to get the stream into octoprint as I described wanting. Running the go2rtc binary gets video and opens the ports locally as described. We just need to formalize some sort of approach for defining a Bambu printer in Octoprint and setting up go2rtc.

I had it running as a service using these steps: https://gist.github.com/jneilliii/93b412cb0bbf6b7bfd76f7e10d612f24

you would just have to deal with any path differences where you saved the go2rtc binaries/config. it assumes pi username in ExecStart

Ive managed to run this service inside a docker container. With this you could run this in the same compose with octoprint for example 😃

@MrDrache333 hey hi thanks for that but still i have trouble to get an image out ....
i assume the "hostname" must be the printers ip address?

Hey, any chance you could explain how to install this? https://github.com/synman/webcamd/tree/bambu
Thanks!
