Camera model
Microsoft Lifecam VX 700
What is the problem?
I followed this document from a Chris's Basement video: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AqtBhPTZOei1bds82Q2bN_Hy5QSHhvsh3vqAmPzSiJo/edit
When I try to test mjpg streamer I get a list of errors about pan, tilt, focus, etc. that I don't know the relevance of. When I look at the Control tab in OctoPrint the video window says "Webcam stream not loaded."
What did you already try to solve it?
Nothing. I'm not sure what to do or where to look
Logs (/var/log/webcamd.log, syslog, dmesg, ... no logs, no support)
When I try to test mjpg streamer:
~/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental$ sudo ./mjpg_streamer -i "./input_uvc.so" -o "./output_http.so"

This is what octoprint.log shows. I do not have a webcamd log or anything like that.
