Camera Issues

Camera button is missing

Check whether a camera URL is configured or whether the provider exposes a built-in camera path.

For non-Bambu printers, configure an external camera URL in the printer settings.

Camera opens the wrong page

Do not use the Moonraker/Fluidd/Mainsail UI URL as the camera URL unless that URL is actually a camera stream. Configure the real MJPEG, snapshot, RTSP, or USB source.

Diagnose checks the wrong camera

The camera diagnostic should test the configured external camera URL when one exists. If it falls back to a Bambu-style built-in camera path for a non-Bambu printer, update Printbuddy and re-test.

Browser cannot display stream

Some camera streams are reachable by the server but blocked by the browser due to mixed content, authentication, unsupported codec, or cross-origin behavior. Test the URL directly in the browser first.
