RPI Camera v1 doesn't work on both recent releases (one being the experimental camera stack) #865

I tried setting up octopi on my RPI 5 the other day. Everything went fine until I got to the Camera setup, where the stream fails to load. I have verified that the camera works with libcamera I believe, but in both releases (1.11.3 with and without new experimental camera stack) the camera stream fails to start. Is there any additional configuration to be done to get the RPI cam v1 (ov5647) to work, or is there something else wrong?

[Edit]: I tried the exact same setup on my Raspberry Pi 3 and it worked flawlessly. I suspect there's a compatibility issue with the Raspberry Pi 5 or between the Raspberry Pi 5 and the camera module because now that I thing about it, it's the first time I used the camera module with my Raspberry Pi 5.

This is the message from the dashboard:

When I click the stream link, I'm presented with this:

When I test the stream in the settings, this empty test screen:

It's also the same thing with the snapshot:

These are my settings:

When I run camera-streamer, I get this:
