Does not display the 3rd party app indi_rpicam

The web manager does not display all of the drivers installed. I can run this driver command line indi_rpicam, but it does not display in the web manager.

So in Ekos if i pick this driver indi_rpicam and try to send it to the web manger it does not work.

The driver should have an entry (XML file) under /usr/share/indi otherwise the web manager cannot see it.

Hello, i'm using rpi_camera too, can you display me your xml file please :) ?

EDIT: i've seen we have talked about few month age on redit here : https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Micro_Scope/comments/m2dm3s/using_kstars_and_ekos_to_connect_to_the_raspberry/

So for next users who want indi_rpicam.xml file : sudo nano /usr/share/indi/indi_rpicam.xml and add into it :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<driversList>
	<devGroup group="CCDs">
		<device label="RPI Camera">
			<driver name="RPI Camera">indi_rpicam</driver>
			<version>1.3</version>
		</device>
	</devGroup>
</driversList>
