hi, i have this message in the timelapse+ plugin windox and every settings are okay can you help me?
"can only concatenate str (not "int") to str"

I'm trying to get this plug in working, but with the lack of installation and settings instructions, it's a bit difficult. I have managed to figure out most of it, but I am struggling with the Webcam Snapshot URL, as the text box in your screenshot is too short to show the full URL (assuming there is more after '/webcam') I've tried to guess what it should be without much success.

What is the correct entry for the Webcam Snapshot URL please?

• Prompt when a render should be startet and a print is running
• Halt the print and show a prompt when it's started and a render job is running

Hi there,
First of all thank you very much for that new Timelapse Plugin.
I was looking for a solution to remove the background out of my Videos for a long time because the Printer and the camera captures my wife at her desk is she is working from home.

It is a bit embarrassing but I cannot get the plugin taking Snapshots from snapshot Command.
It works fine if i use the capture mode "Timer"
But if I use Command and leave it as it is with "SNAPSHOT" it does not capture anything.
I also tried "@ Snapshot" and "Snapshot" and "@ SNAPSHOT" (without the blank but if i do not add a blank here it tags a User called Snapshot :-) )
I use CURA as Slicer and also tried Prusa Slicer because of the "At Layer Change" is a bit more comfortable

Timelapse+ Settings:

Gcode Example:

Outcome:

I am very sure I am doing something wrong but I need someone to throw the solution in my face.

Dont worry it is not an urgent case but I bet you know how it feels if you do not find the issue.

Best regards,
P0tth34d

Hi, I just installed this plugin via the ocotprint plugin installer and I get this error message - should it download it's own update of FFMpeg or be able to discover the existing path? If not, do you have any installation instructions for the plugin? Thx!

The plugin can find the ffmpeg, but keeps complaining about the ffprobe. Tripple checked the path, but it keep nagging about not being able to find the ffprobe.

ffmpeg path = /usr/bin/ffmpeg
ffprobe path = /usr/bin/ffprobe

If I run the command for ffprobe in a terminal it responds correct en shows me te used libraries etc.

-framezip images
-current joblatest image

Hi, I have replaced the default MJPEG streamer with go2rtc, which allows me to use HLS and/or WebRTC to stream the video (especially for checking when I'm not home, since otherwise the bandwidth required is too high).
The only issue with this is, that go2rtc does not provide a jpg snapshot url (at least not without some extra transcoding, wich I can't do on my pi).

Would it be possible to get still frames from an HLS or WebRTC stream?

self._plugin_data needs to be replaced.

Plugins should not access this property directly but instead utilize get_plugin_data_folder()

use elif in comparison chain to avoid additional processing

Need to include a software update hook so that future updates to the plugin can be automatically distributed to your users. You can find additional information from here.

As it relates to this you will also need to create a release with tag that matches the current plugin version defined in setup.py.

I can't tell from the workflow exactly, but if a new print is started during the rendering process does your plugin pause/cancel the rendering?

All threads need to have daemon=True set in order to avoid a situation where a restart of OctoPrint is blocked.

I have setup Octoprint events (PrintStarted, PrintDone and PrintFailed), to (auto) start or stop web-camera service (by default is off) during printing.
Sadly, Timelapse+ detects the web camera (snapshot or stream) as not working and gives up on whole recording. So I end up with no snapshots/photoes during whole printing time. Octolapse and Timelapse works good.

URL for snapshot is copied from Timelapse, so I do not think there is an issue (mjpg-streamer)

Error:
Hmm, something isn't working properly. Please fix the following error so Timelapse+ can run. Open the settings page to edit or fix the configuration.
Could not retrieve Webcam Snapshot

I have few web-cameras connected to desktop. And I havenot seen ability in plugins to add from each camera a photo and merge them into one. Like I do via script and got this:
https://github.com/pracovnik/Public_items/blob/main/script_Merge_webcameras_to_one_picture/20220916-192919.jpg

Basically Octolapse triggers (start) a python script and give it few miliseconds with pause of printing. The script triggers immediatelly parallel from each web-camera a snapshoot, after that it composite them into one frame (as on picture) using some rules. After printing ends, it makes a movie of it.

Hi Chris. I updated ffmpeg to version 6.

The rendering seems to be processed but failed.

where can I see the commandline which is used to render the pics?
