Disable the premium webcam streaming
Why?
There are 2 reasons why you need to consider disabling premium webcam streaming:
High CPU usage. Streaming real video on Raspberry Pi's flimsy CPU is a tricky balancing act. It is possible in some situations The Detective tries too hard at her effort to send the best quality video streams to you. This may cause excessive CPU usage and hence impact the quality of your prints.
Webcam streaming not working in OctoPrint. If, after installing
Access Anywhere - The Spaghetti Detective
plugin, you can no longer see webcam stream in OctoPrint, you should restart the Raspberry Pi and wait for a few minutes to see if the webcam stream will appear. If not, you should consider disabling the premium webcam streaming.
How?
- Open your OctoPrint page (not The Spaghetti Detective page). Open "Settings" by clicking the wrench icon.
- Scroll the sidebar to the bottom and click "Access Anywhere - The Spaghetti Detective".
- Click "Settings".
- Check "Disable premium webcam streaming".
- Click "Save".
- Restart OctoPrint.
