Bambu's end-gcode lowers the bed at gcode_state=FINISH. Bambuddy's
live-camera grab captured the bed already dropped, ruining the photo
framing. Source the photo from a brief Bambu timelapse instead —
firmware stops timelapse recording AFTER toolhead parks but BEFORE
bed-drop runs, so the last frame frames the finished print correctly.
When capture_finish_photo is on AND the user did not opt in to
timelapse for this print, force timelapse=True at dispatch + mark the
new PrintArchive.bambuddy_forced_timelapse column. After extraction
(success or failure), cleanup deletes the locally-attached file,
clears archive.timelapse_path, and walks the four scanner directories
(/timelapse, /timelapse/video, /record, /recording) trying FTP DELE
against the original filename. User-opted-in timelapses pass through
unchanged.
Resolver lives at services/background_dispatch.py::resolve_effective_timelapse
(module-level so the print queue can reuse it). Both dispatch paths
wired: background_dispatch.py (Print Now / Reprint) AND
print_scheduler.py:_start_print (the queue). Field testing caught the
scheduler gap on the first round — AST regression test now asserts
start_print(timelapse=...) references effective_timelapse, not the raw
item.timelapse, so a future refactor can't silently drop it.
Extractor: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -update 1 -q:v 2 out.jpg. Decoded
frames overwrite the same output file, so the file left on disk is the
literal last frame regardless of duration. Bambu records one frame per
layer-change, so a 16-layer cube produces a 0.6 s timelapse — the
original -sseof -1.0 approach seeked before the start of the file and
returned frame 0 (empty bed). Decoding every frame is fine; Bambu
timelapses are short by construction even on hours-long prints.
Migration adds bambuddy_forced_timelapse branched on is_sqlite()
(DEFAULT 0 / DEFAULT FALSE — PG rejects DEFAULT 0 for BOOLEAN).
Verified live on postgres:16-alpine.
Photo-task wait_for budget extends 45s -> 75s when timelapse_was_active
so the notification carries the bed-up photo instead of falling back
to the live-cam grab on slow links.
Scope limit, documented in the camera wiki: prints started directly
on the printer touchscreen / Bambu Handy / Bambu Studio Send bypass
both dispatch paths, so the override doesn't fire there. Future
option: mid-print M981 S1 P20000 MQTT toggle in on_print_start.
Setting description rewritten in all 11 locales to drop the "only
works when timelapse enabled" caveat (Bambuddy now forces it) and
explain the kept-or-deleted behaviour.
