Tried restarting crowsnest manually by opening the crowsnest.cfg and Save&Restarting it in Mainsail?

After updating to v4.1.8-1 I have/had the same problem.
But after restarting crowsnest manually it worked allright.

However the mainsail update screen tells me the Crowsnest " Repo is corrupt "
After a "hard recovery" the camera did not work anymore.

The crowsnest.log indicates an error when checking on ustreamer, and indeed the ustreamer files seem to be missing on the speederpad.

Uninstalling and reinstalling crowsnest using kiauh restored the previous situation with a working camera(after manual restart of crowsnest) and an update screen saying that crwosnests Repo is corrup.

hi @brdi,

I followed your tip about reinstalling crowsnest and this worked.

Thank you.

However the mainsail update screen tells me the Crowsnest " Repo is corrupt "
After a "hard recovery" the camera did not work anymore.

A hard recovery will delete everything inside the repo, especially the streamer binaries. So after a hard recovery you always have to rebuild.
But overall there should be no reason that the repo get's corrupt. Sometimes it happens randomly for whatever reason. I'm doing the thing that the update inside Moonraker does, a lot during development for exception of pulling the files from a remote repository. So no idea, when exactly it happens.

Tnx, learning everyday.
Still weird that after reinstalling crowsnest, the update manager indicaties that crowsnest is corrupt.
However, everything is working allthough I've got to restart crowsnest manually before the camera relays a signal....

Have a look at #117, especially at my comment: #117 (comment)
Maybe you got a similar problem to the one in the issue? If that doesn't help, join our Discord or Github discussions for further help.

[brdi]

@mryel00
Thx.
I did, Problem solved.
When I restarted even the corwsnest "problem" was solved.
Working like a charm now.

@KahnSoft how do you use bullseye on rpi5? Bullseye is not compatible with rpi5. The first official raspberry pi os with rpi5 support is bookworm.

[mryel00]

@KahnSoft Please take your time to read this, as I took my time to answer this.

mini PC RPI NOT USEABLE IN INDUSTRIAL VISION SYSTEMS EACH WEEK ALL CAMERAS ARE DEATH AND THE DEVLOOPER NEED WEEKS FOR REACTIVATE ALL AGAIN.

A few things about this:

1. We got an issue open with a workaround: Add libcamera (CSI/picam) cam support on the Pi5 (spyglass) #241 (comment)
2. We cannot do anything about the decisions of the Pi foundation, and this project is nothing from the Pi foundation, but some project that some dudes are working on in their free time
3. You are working in the industry and I'm doing this in my free time for no money. Pay me some salary and I will fix Crowsnest for the Pi5 a lot faster. Without money I'm doing it at my pace, if I find personal time for it

i write code since 50 years.

Feel free to contribute, even if it's just with your experience to review code. #270 is open and need some review. Also I need some more proffesional reviewer and tester for mryel00/spyglass#84. This will help in finishing the update faster. I'm no proffesional in writing code and I'm still in university, so I don't have any long experience like you or others.

edit: Also this whole thing has nothing to do with this issue and is just again feeling like a random person that just wants to blame others, without giving any productive feedback. Also see the following comment for such a person: #241 (comment)
