Hi Pierre

I have updated my test Portsdown and tested both my Logitech Cameras (an old C920 and a C170) with the Pluto this evening, and it all works for me.

Please could you post a photo/screenshot of your Portsdown main menu here? Then I can try it with your settings.

How is your Pluto connected to the Portsdown (ethernet or USB?)

After the transmission fails, can you still check the Pluto firmware version, or has the Pluto disconnected?

Hello Dave,

Thanks for the answer.
I will send you a link with a small video of the problem on your email :-)

Finally, I take a new sd card, make a fresh install from scratch and now it works again.

It is very strange, when I press TX ON now with webcam as source, I don't see live image on screen.
Before it was working, any parameter anywhere to turn it on ?

I'm fairly sure only the RPiCamera shows on screen when TXing (plus contest numbers and test card).

Hi Pierre

Pleased that you have got it working.

There has never been the capability to display the webcam image on-screen whilst transmitting. Only the Pi Cam image or the Test/Contest card is ever displayed during transmit.
