Camera model
Logitech C270
What is the problem?
Stream giving error that it cannot load
Webcam stream not loaded
It might not be configured correctly or require authentication. You can change the URL of the stream under "Settings" > "Webcam & Timelapse" > "Webcam" > "Stream URL". If you don't have a webcam you can also just disable webcam support there.
Currently configured stream URL: /webcam/?action=stream
If I go to that URL I get this error
The requested URL was not found on the server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
Snapshot however DOES take a photo - which is confusing... so the webcam IS working but not for streaming.
- webcam is ALWAYS on, doesn't turn off
What did you already try to solve it?
I followed this : Setting up OctoPrint on Ubuntu 20.04 with Python 3 | Illuminated3D
Followed this as well : (from Chris's Basement) Octoprint on Linux - Google Docs

I rechecked everything posted, re ran through everything and still happening.
-
tried another webcam

kept my username as PI just to keep it simple, i wanted a raspberry pi, but i cannot afford them currently and had an old PC laying around

This is my file for webcamDaemon (which is executable
#!/bin/bash
MJPGSTREAMER_HOME=/home/pi/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental
MJPGSTREAMER_INPUT_USB="input_uvc.so"
MJPGSTREAMER_INPUT_RASPICAM="input_raspicam.so"
init configuration
camera="auto"
camera_usb_options="-r 640x480 -f 10"

if [ -e "/boot/octopi.txt" ]; then
source "/boot/octopi.txt"
fi
runs MJPG Streamer, using the provided input plugin + configuration
function runMjpgStreamer {
input=$1
pushd $MJPGSTREAMER_HOME
echo Running ./mjpg_streamer -o "output_http.so -w ./www" -i "$input"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./mjpg_streamer -o "output_http.so -w ./www" -i "$input"
popd
}
starts up the RasPiCam
function startRaspi {
logger "Starting Raspberry Pi camera"
runMjpgStreamer "$MJPGSTREAMER_INPUT_RASPICAM $camera_raspi_options"
}
starts up the USB webcam
function startUsb {
logger "Starting USB webcam"
runMjpgStreamer "$MJPGSTREAMER_INPUT_USB $camera_usb_options"
}
we need this to prevent the later calls to vcgencmd from blocking
I have no idea why, but that's how it is...
vcgencmd version
echo configuration
echo camera: $camera
echo usb options: $camera_usb_options
echo raspi options: $camera_raspi_options
keep mjpg streamer running if some camera is attached
while true; do
if [ -e "/dev/video0" ] && { [ "$camera" = "auto" ] || [ "$camera" = "usb" ] ; }; then
startUsb
elif [ "vcgencmd get_camera" = "supported=1 detected=1" ] && { [ "$camera" = "auto" ] || [ "$camera" = "raspi">
startRaspi

sleep 120
done
Logs (/var/log/webcamd.log, syslog, dmesg, ... no logs, no support)
I have no logs under /var/log < there is nothing in that directory - where else would i look?
got the system logs from the system bundle area...
NOTE I did find log files, but they were too large to copy paste
octoprint-logs.zip (189.4 KB)
Uploaded them!
