Pibooth fails to start after installing Nextcloud addon (Pibooth 1.9.6, Nextcloud 29.0.0)

[dalldomo]

I have been using Pibooth (v1.9.6) without any issues. However, after installing the Nextcloud addon, Pibooth no longer starts. Before the installation, everything worked as expected.

Key observations:

• The file QRCODE.png is not generated, even though the target directory exists.
• Nextcloud throws an error when trying to create a directory (MKCOL ... 405).
• The Nextcloud instance is running version 29.0.0.

Could this issue be related to an incompatibility with Nextcloud 29.0.0?

The Nextcloud address has been anonymized in the logs below.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Pibooth (v1.9.6) on a Raspberry Pi 3B.
2. Verify that it runs correctly.
3. Install the Nextcloud addon.
4. Try to start Pibooth again.

Expected behavior:
Pibooth should start normally and detect the camera, and the QR code image should be generated.

Actual behavior:
Pibooth does not start and fails with the errors above.

Additional information:

Pibooth version: 1.9.6

• Raspberry Pi model: 3B
• Camera: Canon EOS 600D
• Nextcloud version: 29.0.0
• The pibooth directory exists, but QRCODE.png is not created.
• The Nextcloud address has been anonymized in this report.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

I'm getting the same error with Nextcloud 29.0.8 and even created my own QRCODE.png file to put in the directory but it did not help
