Camera model
Logitech c270
What is the problem?
I'm running OctoPrint on an Intel Nuc, set up with Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS, as such I've been installing everything manually, including mjpg-streamer. I have everything working, but when I start the camera up it defaults to a resolution of 640x480 and frames per second set to -1:
isaacprint@isaacprintserver:~/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental$ sudo ./mjpg_streamer -i "./input_uvc.so" -o "./output_http.so"

If I try to change this, using the -r and/or -f arguments, it fails and suggests that those options are not available:
isaacprint@isaacprintserver:~/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental$ sudo ./mjpg_streamer -i "./input_uvc.so" -r 1280x720 -f 15 -o "./output_http.so"
./mjpg_streamer: invalid option -- 'r'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Usage: ./mjpg_streamer
-i | --input "<input-plugin.so> [parameters]"
-o | --output "<output-plugin.so> [parameters]"
[-h | --help ]........: display this help
[-v | --version ].....: display version information
[-b | --background]...: fork to the background, daemon mode
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Example #1:
To open an UVC webcam "/dev/video1" and stream it via HTTP:
./mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -d /dev/video1" -o "output_http.so"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Example #2:
To open an UVC webcam and stream via HTTP port 8090:
./mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so" -o "output_http.so -p 8090"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Example #3:
To get help for a certain input plugin:
./mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so --help"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
In case the modules (=plugins) can not be found:
* Set the default search path for the modules with:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/plugins,
* or put the plugins into the "/lib/" or "/usr/lib" folder,
* or instead of just providing the plugin file name, use a complete
path and filename:
./mjpg_streamer -i "/path/to/modules/input_uvc.so"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
As shown, the only flags it lists as available are -i and -o
What did you already try to solve it?
I googled the problem, but every solution I saw referenced octopi.txt, which I don't have due to a manual linux installation on a non-Pi pc.
Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, ...)
