What were you doing?

1. Download and image 2024-01-04_2023-12-11-octopi-bookworm-armhf-lite-1.1.0.zip
2. Install on RPi 4
3. Type libcamera-hello --list-cameras

What did you expect to happen?

What happened instead?

ERROR: rpicam-apps currently only supports the Raspberry Pi platforms on nightly build

Did the same happen when running OctoPrint in safe mode?

Safe mode doesn't apply as this has nothing to do with OctoPrint

Version of OctoPi

2024-01-04_2023-12-11-octopi-bookworm-armhf-lite-1.1.0.zip

Printer model & used firmware incl. version

No physical printer installed.

Screenshot(s)/video(s) showing the problem:

I have read the FAQ.
Yes

There seems to be some workaround here:

Does that solve your issue?
@foosel Do we need to change the defaults in config.txt?

The error message is misleading as it is displayed on an official Raspberry Pi 4B platform (unless I have a fake). If the error message is being produced by code coming from the official Raspberry Pi OS bookworm release, then there's probably nothing OctoPi can do about it.

As imaged, /boot/config.txt contains camera_auto_detect=0 and libcamera-hello returns:

pi@rpi4b:~ $ libcamera-hello --list-cameras
ERROR: rpicam-apps currently only supports the Raspberry Pi platforms.
Contributions for other platforms are welcome at https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpicam-apps.

Change /boot/config.txt to camera_auto_detect=1 and libcamera-hello returns:

                             4608x2592 [14.35 fps - (0, 0)/4608x2592 crop]

So, IMO, /boot/config.txt should probably be changed or some documentation for the user to make the change.

Since the nightly builds do not include camera-streamer I can't go any further with testing OctoPi 1.1.0

[b-morgan]

I imaged and booted the "official" Raspberry PI OS (32-BIT) and /boot/config.txt contains camera_auto_detect=1. This is even stronger evidence that the OctoPi 1.1.0 image should include camera_auto_detect=1 as well.

Ok will add it, or PRs are welcome (not on a machine that I can do that on ATM)

[b-morgan]

I'm sure you will be on a machine that can do it long before I could figure out how to do a PR 😁

[guysoft]

I am really swamped, if you can PR and have the time please do
