[Solved] Can't get HP HD4300 and Logitech C270 to work

HP Webcam HD4310 (appears in the compatibility list and as working with Pi2)

What is the problem?
Can't get image

What did you already try to solve it?

Set camera="auto" (also tried "usb") in /boot/octopi.txt
Set camera_usb_options="-r FHD"

Logs (/var/log/webcamd.log, syslog, dmesg, ... no logs, no support)
no webcamd.log
octoprint.log (336.7 KB)

lsusb shows the camera:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 03f0:e807 HP, Inc

Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, ...)
OctoPrint 1.4.2
OctoPi 0.17.0
Python 3.7.3
Raspberry Pi 2B

I tried a different camera Logitech C270

Set camera="auto" (also tried "usb") in /boot/octopi.txt
Set camera_usb_options="-r 1280x720 -f 30"

No picture/video - same result

What is the problem?

below is the output of journalctl -u webcamd command

More info:

This is a screenshot with the Chrome browser console open after refreshing the Control tab

There is an error in the console window...

I also tryed rebootting with all 3rd party addons disabled. didn't help.

Solved:

If I enter (and save) the following address under webcam settings streaming address then it works:
http://octopi.local:8080/?action=stream

same problem as you have, but sadly this didn't work for me - when i press test, there is no picture

any other idea you might have? or do I have to change the link maybe?
