I have a Chinese webcam from amazon and when I plug it into my pi 4, I can stream from octopiIP:8080 but not the relative URL /webcam/?action=stream/

I've already tried switching USB ports but that yielded no results. I've also tried to edit /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg to change the webcam server from 127.0.0.1:8080 to /webcam/?action=stream but that also doesn't work.

the setting works fine for me.

What did you modify on your image?

I just got a logitech c615. the chinese webcam doesnt work with a fresh image of octoprint but the c615 does.

And what did you change to make it work?

I bought a webcam off of the known working list and as advertised, it worked. I'm just going to return the Chinese webcam to amazon.
