What is the problem?
Since I've switched to OctoPi 1.0.0, I've noticed that my Raspberry PI HQ camera suddenly shows massive compression artefacts in the webcam stream.
I've edited the octopi.txt file to add a quality argument, but it doesn't seems to work.
The weird thing is that if I restart the webcamd manually, then the artifacts go away. But after rebooting the entire system, they are back.
What did you already try to solve it?
Edit octopi.txt and added -r 1280x720 -f 10 -q 85, tried various quality settings with no effect, 10 looks exactly the same as 90 if I manually reboot the demon. I think the quality setting is not being taken into account.

There should be no problems with USB (a.k.a. select() timeout)
