Camera resolution stuck at 640 x 480

Hello there,

It appears octoprint does not receive the MJPG settings in docker compose and the camera resolution is stuck at 640 x 480. A related post I have found on this topic indicates changing octopi.txt but I do not think this applies to the docker setup (post).

Model : Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.1
Camera : Raspberry Pi Camera V2.1
OS : Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)

docker-compose.yaml file is setup as follows :

version: '3.8'

services:
  octoprint:
    image: octoprint/octoprint:latest
    privileged: true
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - 80:80
    devices:
    # use `python -m serial.tools.miniterm` to see what the name is of the printer, this requires pyserial
      - /dev/ttyACM0:/dev/ttyACM0
      - /dev/video0:/dev/video0
    volumes:
      - octoprint:/octoprint
      - /usr/bin/vcgencmd:/usr/bin/vcgencmd
      - /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libvcos.so.0:/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libvcos.so.0
      - /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libvchiq_arm.so.0:/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libvchiq_arm.so.0
    # uncomment the lines below to ensure camera streaming is enabled when
    # you add a video device
    environment:
      - ENABLE_MJPG_STREAMER=true
      - MJPG_SREAMER_INPUT=-n -r 1640x1232 -f 30
      - CAMERA_DEV=/dev/video0
 

volumes:
  octoprint:

However, when octoprint loads up I see the following (Desired resolution: 640 x 480, FPS : -1):

Starting octoprint_octoprint_1 ... done

I have tried changing the resolution (in docker-compose.yaml) to 1920 x 1080 but no change when octoprint starts (still 640 x 480). Any advice appreciated!!

Kind regards,
Daniel

Just a simple typo here

- MJPG_SREAMER_INPUT=-n -r 1640x1232 -f 30
+ MJPG_STREAMER_INPUT=-n -r 1640x1232 -f 30

Missing a 'T' in 'STREAMER'.

Thanks for that. I am the worlds biggest dummy.
