Spoolman integration does not work on 1.2.0-alpha.7

[JosemyAB]

Hello!

First of all, thanks for this project! I found it really useful :)

Im testing the last alpha version (1.2.0-alpha.7) with a new Creator 5. The connection works fine and I can manage the printer fine.
The problem is with the Spoolman integration. I have updated the config.json file with my Spoolman server and now I can select the spools in the Material Station

But there are two things that don't work: One is the check to see the panel in the UI. It is still disabled.

On the other hand, it does not track the consumption to Spoolman.

Am I doing anything wrong? Could you please take a look?

Hello! Thank you for bringing this to my attention

This is stemming from some "unresolved" work staring with the AD5X series that I forgot to review for the Creator 5 series. 😅 The Spoolman integration works by reading the value for "filament used" the printer reports in it's API.

This works great for the 5M series, but FlashForge never updated this logic in their firmware for multi-material/multi-tool printers. The API still only reports filament used as a single value, there's no way to request usage "per spool". Currently due to this , Spoolman sync will disable itself automatically if you're using an AD5X or C5 printer.

I'm working on a new alpha which will include a fix for this , but it will be somewhat annoying due to other platform limitations on the C5 series. The C5 only allows selecting "material mappings" when you upload a new file, so you'd need to upload a .3mf , match materials, and then match those spools to what's in Spoolman.
