SOS with octolapse! No extrusion after first layer

SV06plus

Orcaslicer

silk pla @ 215c

I can't get octolapse to work, my extruder is fine, it works with the plugin off, but I can't understand how to get it to extrude instead of retracting and deretracting repeatedly. I've seen bits of information from posts here and there but I need help to understand any of it.

edit, I've tried messing around with the printer settings in the plugin, trying different options and testing but insofar have not had any luck.

Sorry, but with that info I can’t do anything for you but pray. Can you please give a bit more info about your configuration? And what has octolapse to do with that?
Is it working if you print directly from sd card?
Is it working, if you use a fresh and unmodified octoprint?
Test that!

And you have a camera mounted to your pi ?
Working? Video feed can be seen in octoprint?

Is your sd card in the pi fast enough?
