Setup webcam

lordghiro · November 2016

Hi,

thanks for your beutiful and perfect program.

I ask if is it possible to add a feature?

My webcam are running only if I put "--no_dynctrl" in the input in mjpg_streamer program.

My setup now is with crontab:

killall mjpg_streamer

/usr/local/bin/mjpg_streamer -i "/usr/local/lib/mjpg-streamer/input_uvc.so --no_dynctrl" -o "/usr/local/lib/mjpg-streamer/output_http.so -p 8080"

So it is all ok.

I ask if it is possible to modify the mjpg-streamer start script

Thanks

In short we release new server image for pi and also new webcam scripts for 0.80.2. There is a file

/usr/local/Repetier-Setup/etc/webcam.conf

where you can set extra usb webcam parameter like this.

Current version also has this already but will be replaced for even better handling.

Did you reboot or unpluck webcam to activate new settings?

ps aux | grep mjpg

should show you the used parameter. Our scripts do not restart just restart if you plug it in again or reboot. see mjpgStart in /usr/local/Repetier-Setup/bin at the bottom how the command is started.
