Camera model
Smraza Raspberry Pi 4 Camera Module 5 Megapixels
What is the problem?
Webcam stream no longer response with video data. Web browser requests are not served. Looks like there is no connection for that url/port.
What did you already try to solve it?
I reboot in safe mode. Swap out camera ribbon cable for a new one. No luck.
sudo service webcamd restart hang the ssh session.
ps -ax|grep mjpg returns no process
829 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto mjpg
Short of rebuilding the OctoPi and restore from a backup, what else can I do to fix the webcamd?
Logs (/var/log/webcamd.log, syslog, dmesg, ... no logs, no support)
No webcamd.log
This is from running service webcamd status
