The snapshot endpoint always used the internal printer camera even when
an external camera was configured. Now checks for external camera first,
matching the stream endpoint pattern. Also added retry logic (3 attempts,
2s delay) to MJPEG and RTSP stream generators so they reconnect on
timeout instead of silently ending the stream.
- Add USB camera type to external camera service
- Auto-detect available V4L2 devices on Linux
- New API endpoint: GET /api/v1/printers/usb-cameras
- Use ffmpeg for USB camera capture and streaming
- Add "USB Camera (V4L2)" option in Settings UI
- Debounce camera URL input to avoid saving on every keystroke
Closes#143
Automatically detect if objects are on the build plate before printing
and pause the print immediately if detected.
Features:
- Per-printer toggle to enable/disable plate detection
- Multi-reference calibration: store up to 5 reference images per printer
for different plate types (textured, smooth, high-temp, etc.)
- Automatic print pause when objects detected at print start
- Push notification and WebSocket alert when print is paused
- ROI (Region of Interest) calibration UI with sliders to adjust
detection area
- Reference management: view thumbnails, add labels, delete references
- Works with both built-in and external cameras
- Uses buffered camera frames when stream is active (no blocking)
- Split button UI: main button opens modal, chevron toggles on/off
- Green visual indicator when plate detection is enabled
- Included in backup/restore
Add support for external network cameras (MJPEG, RTSP, HTTP snapshot)
that replace a printer's built-in camera when configured.
Features:
- Live streaming on printers page (replaces built-in camera)
- Finish photo capture from external camera on print complete
- Layer-based timelapse: captures frame on each layer change,
stitches to MP4 video on print completion
Backend changes:
- Add external_camera_url, external_camera_type, external_camera_enabled
fields to Printer model with database migration
- New external_camera.py service: MJPEG/RTSP/snapshot frame capture,
connection testing, MJPEG stream generation
- New layer_timelapse.py service: TimelapseSession management,
layer-by-layer frame capture, ffmpeg video stitching
- Add on_layer_change callback to MQTT client and printer manager
- Update camera routes with external camera streaming and tracking
- Update print lifecycle hooks for timelapse start/stitch/cancel
- Add external camera fields to backup/restore
- Rate limiting for external camera streams (prevents browser freeze)
Frontend changes:
- Add external camera configuration UI in Settings > Camera
- Per-printer enable toggle, URL input, type selector, test button
- Toast notification on save
Closes#143
Features:
- Resizable printer cards (S/M/L/XL) with toolbar controls on Printers page
- Queue Only mode for staging prints without automatic scheduling
- "Queue Only" option in add/edit queue modals
- Purple "Staged" badge and Play button to release to queue
- manual_start field in database with migration
Fixes:
- Improved camera stream stuck detection with automatic reconnection
Tests:
- Added 16 integration tests for print queue API endpoints
prints (not just completed), matching get_printer_total_hours behavior
- Add option to keep or delete archives when deleting a printer
- Custom maintenance types no longer auto-assign to all printers
- Add UI to manually assign/remove custom maintenance types per printer
- Add backend endpoints for assigning types to printers and removing items
- Exclude static/assets from large file pre-commit check
- Fix A1/P1 camera streaming with extended timeouts and lower FPS cap
Root cause: When a print completed with the camera stream popup open,
spawning a second ffmpeg process for finish photo capture caused a
conflict that froze the browser tab and video window.
Solution: Buffer the last frame from active camera streams. When
capturing finish photo, use the buffered frame if a stream is active
instead of spawning a new ffmpeg process.
Backend changes:
- camera.py: Added _last_frames buffer and get_buffered_frame() helper
- main.py: Photo capture uses buffered frame when stream is active
- main.py: Moved slow operations to background tasks (energy calc,
photo capture, smart plug, notifications, maintenance)
- archive.py: Fixed sync file write blocking event loop (asyncio.to_thread)
- printers.py: Added debug endpoint to simulate print completion
Frontend changes:
- useWebSocket.ts: Throttled printer status updates (100ms) to prevent
UI overload from rapid WebSocket messages
- useWebSocket.ts: Debounced archive invalidations (3s) to prevent
cascade of re-renders on print completion
- useWebSocket.test.ts: Updated tests for throttled/debounced handlers
