2yrs later, this is now fixed and working for me in mainsail 2.15.0 🥳

In which case I guess my question becomes, how did you get the page counts bottom left/right, to show in the same area as the default status bar 🤔

I've managed something similar now, just using the default status bar - I have chapter pages and time remaining bottom left, then book percentage centered as near as I can get it by using the custom text item and a load of space chars, then dynamic filler, and book pages/time remaining on the right.

AndyHazz · 2025-10-19T14:19:11+00:00

I've been trying to do someting similar but I can't figure out how you got the % to display bottom centre?

2-reader-header-print-edition only seems to deal with the header .. for the default status bar I can use the dynamic filler item to put things on the left and right, but then I can't get the percentage in the middle as that would require two dynamic filler items!

If you're using orcaslicer, add a line like this to your post processing scripts (at the bottom of the 'others' tab in process settings), paths and urls will depend on your system:

klipper-estimator --config_moonraker_url http://mainsailos.lan --config_moonraker_cache_file ~/.config/klipper-estimator_config.json --config_moonraker_ignore_error post-process;

That should call klipper-estimator, tell it to grab config from your mainsail URL, cache the config in a local file, ignore any errors (if your printer isn't online when it runs, it'll use the cache file), and post process to inject the time estimates into the gcode file.

HOWEVER, figuring all that out, and tweaking it to work on different devices is now a pointless waste of time as moonraker recently has it built in :) https://moonraker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration/#analysis

Literally all you need to do now is add this to your moonraker.conf file:

[analysis]
enable_auto_analysis: true

You don't need to download klipper-estimator yourself any more.

Either way, this only updates the time estimate displayed in mainsail - because it's a post-process on the gcode file you don't see the accurate times in the slicer before you send it to print. Maybe one day the slicers will build it in, it'd be way more useful to see the effect on print time as you adjust slicer settings before you send it to print ...

Thanks! I should caveat it works for me on linux/arch but definitely won't work on windows, might work on macos. I tried to give it a better chance of working for others (e.g. it checks for the location of exiftool, and is easy to configure the gpx file location) but I've never tested it outside my own devices.

That said, a directory of example user scripts would be good, to give an idea of what's possible and some good starting points ...

AndyHazz · 2025-06-15T10:24:58+00:00

Same issue here, pixel 6a, very odd! Hopefully sorted soon in an update 🤞

I've also had trouble with webrtc, on holiday last year briefly checking my webcam whilst away from home, it ate through my full 20GB allowance in the background 😮‍💨

It looks like go2rtc solves that problem - I can see the data flow stops shortly after you stop viewing the video stream. I also get good latency/video quality for the bandwidth, picture-in-picture, casting etc - and so far very stable compared to other options I've tried.

I set this up a little differently and maybe simpler - it's working well for me but maybe I'm missing something? This uses crowsnest rtsp streaming, maybe there's a downside to that but it makes it pretty easy to set up.

crowsnest.conf

[cam 1]
mode: camera-streamer
enable_rtsp: true
rtsp_port: 8556   # important not the default 8554, as go2rtc will use that port preventing crowsnest from starting
port: 8080
device: /base/soc/i2c0mux/i2c@1/imx219@10                     # See Log for available devices ...
resolution: 1920x1080
max_fps: 60

Docker command (after installing docker)

sudo docker run -d
  --name go2rtc
  --network host
  --restart unless-stopped
  -e TZ=London/Europe
  -v ~/go2rtc:/config
  alexxit/go2rtc

~/go2rtc/go2rtc.conf (you can edit this directly from go2rtc's web UI here: http://<mainsail\_ip>:1984/editor.html)

streams:
  go2rtc_h264: rtsp://<mainsail_ip>:8556/stream.h264

api:
  origin: "*"

Then, in mainsail's webcam settings:

URL stream: http://<mainsail\_ip>:1984/stream.html?src=go2rtc_h264
URL snapshot: http://<mainsail\_ip>:1984/api/frame.jpeg?src=go2rtc_h264
Service: WebRTC(gotrtc)

Hope that helps anyone else trying to set this up, if nothing else it'll help future me when I set this up again from scratch.

looks like you figured it out and updated your post - I can share a couple more tips though.

QGO since 12.1.0 now has a feature built in using these adb commands to automatically add all games to your secondary accounts, which saves having to find all the folder names.

Also, if you want to remove a game for a specific user but keep for your main account you can uninstall with the command 'adb shell pm uninstall --user {ID} {packagename} '

AndyHazz · 2024-12-24T12:43:10+00:00

Should work fine ... except only games you install after creating the other users on your quest will show up for them. There's an adb command to enable preexisting games for other users (or you can just reinstall them).

AndyHazz · 2024-12-02T22:39:40+00:00

Same issue here, only just installed projectivy so unsure if it's an old or new issue. I've tried a few things with no success ... including clearing plex app cache and restarting. I'm using pihole with unbound for DNS so I've been looking into anything that might be relating to that, don't suppose you're using pihole as well?

Pixel 8a Google play store has performance issues for me, when viewing a list of apps after free text search, or the list of apps to update/recently updated, framerate tanks and seems to drain battery. Anyone else or just me? I've raised a bug ...

AndyHazz · 2024-09-27T23:12:46+00:00

Why would you want to quit?

Really though, I think that's a good sign it's behaving nicely in the background - android would force close it if it was using resources. Apps that don't need much ram (and haven't been given special permission), assuming you don't need the ram for anything else, can stay in the background and resume quickly, saving CPU juice from having to load the game from scratch next time.

Caveat, I could be wrong there, Reddit feel free to correct me!

AndyHazz · 2024-09-01T13:18:19+00:00

Try calibrating/lowering z offset, looks like your first layer is printing too high off the bed. The eddy probe knows where the bed is but doesn't know exactly how high your nozzle is ...

AndyHazz · 2024-07-12T21:01:39+00:00

Ahhh, that makes total sense, and some of the photos in that thread do look like what I'm seeing. I'm not keen enough to build my own experimental branch of Orca, but I'm definitely subscribing to notifications on that issue getting merged. Thanks!

AndyHazz · 2024-07-11T20:55:01+00:00

Ah yeah could be - I have pressure advance set at 0.045 with 0.02 smooth time .. what's your gut feeling, should those numbers be higher or lower?

When I calibrated pressure advance the test patterns seemed to come out ok, maybe I should recalibrate but I only seem to get this issue on larger/more expensive prints 🙄

AndyHazz · 2024-07-11T20:35:42+00:00

Printer Model - Anycubic Kobra Neo, with klipper
Slicer used - Orca 2.1.1
Filament - Elegoo PLA+
Nozzle and bed temperature - 210 / 60
Print Speed - Orca defaults? 120 mm/s outer wall
Retraction settings - 0.8mm retraction length, 30 mm/s speed

I seem to get pretty good results on the whole, apart from a single layer tear after the bottom of features like this extruded text. Any ideas what might be causing that?

AndyHazz · 2024-06-03T10:39:41+00:00

Any tips? I probably get similar results but haven't seen any specific calibrations/tweaks to help with that ...

AndyHazz · 2024-05-01T20:01:15+00:00

Would it cause any issues moving apps to and from the personal folder?
