ESP quits work with picture size 0

[JensHoRi]

Sometimes my esps quit working, after activating logging here the entries:

2022-06-26T07:09:10: task_autodoFlow - next round - Round #306
2022-06-26T07:09:10: FlowControll.doFlow - ClassFlowMakeImage
2022-06-26T07:09:13: Image with size 0 loaded --> reboot to be done! Check that your camera module is working and connected properly.
2022-06-26T07:09:13: Reboot in 5sec
2022-06-26T09:40:39: task_autodoFlow - next round - Round #1

Problem: looks like it didn’t reboot. Next entry in log is from 9:40, where I cut the power supply of device to restart it manually

Looks like this automatic reboot don’t work??

This a know topic, but cannot be resolved.
"Image with size 0 loaded" means, that something went wrong wrong with either the camera or the communication to the camera. This is an undefined state. As it strongly depends on the hardware (ESP32 board) and camera I assume, this is due to an unstable hardware.

In some cases it even blocks the reboot. In my experience with about 5-6 ESP32CAM board two of them show this behaviour. I can do nothing abou this --> close the issue.

But you can still comment/communicate about this in this issue.
