Please PRUSA make MK4 and XL fully compatibel with Octoprint

After havin used Octoprint for many years I (and many with me I) think it is a stable system for me and working with my printer.  YES your Link may work but so far it has not worked att all for me.  I am using Octoprint and it is only half of what it was on the MK3   SO  PLEASE impliment full Octoprint interface.

I was not aware of this, what is missing with the MK4? I am asking cause a MK4 is on the short list of new printers for me....

Main differences in functionalities in OctoPrint between MK3 and MK4:

Filament runout sensor is not signaled to OctoPrint
Some features in OctoLapse are not working, like Stabilization
No progress status on the printer display when printing via OctoPrint

Those are the main ones for me at least, perhaps other people can complete the list.

Add my vote to getting full compatibility with OctoPrint. I've got a large project starting and I'd dearly love to be able to capture timelapses so I can document the process.

Timelapses with OctoLapse do work with the MK4, just not with Stabilization. Use Smart Trigger - Snap to Print and choose MK3 as printer type. It works for me.

Thanks, there's other missing capabilities I want too, like two-way communications for run-out sensing etc.
