    Octopi setup

    Hi, not sure if this is exactly the right area to post, but I wondered if anyone has experience setting up octopi? I have it running and printing properly, but am having problems with the webcam. I can get the web cam functionality working if I use SSH to run a command from the right directory, but it doesn't work if I put it in the settings.txt file. from SSH I type...

    Code:
    cd mjpg-streamer
    ./mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -y -d /dev/video0" -o "output_http.so"
    after this I can see my webcam displayed in the octopi web interface.

    If I try to put it into the octopi.txt setting file as shown below, it doesn't work as in does nothing. I can still SSH in and switch it on at the shell.

    Code:
    ### Configure which camera to use
    #
    # Available options are:
    # - auto: tries first usb webcam, if that's not available tries raspi cam
    # - usb: only tries usb webcam
    # - raspi: only tries raspi cam
    #
    # Defaults to auto
    #
    camera="usb"
    
    ### Additional options to supply to MJPG Streamer for the USB camera
    #
    # See https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/wiki/MJPG-Streamer-configuration
    # for available options
    #
    # Defaults to a resolution of 640x480 px and a framerate of 10 fps
    #
    camera_usb_options= ./mjpg-streamer/mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -y -d /dev/video0 -r 640x480 -f 10" -o "output_http.so"
    
    ### additional options to supply to MJPG Streamer for the RasPi Cam
    #
    # See https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/wiki/MJPG-Streamer-configuration
    # for available options
    #
    # Defaults to 10fps
    #
    #camera_raspi_options="-x 1280 -y 720 -fps 20 -br 100 -ex night"

    My linux knowledge is extremely limited, I am pretty sure it is to do with default paths but have no idea what to even search for to solve this issue.

    Thanks

    Is is an 'approved' webcam? There is a list of known working ones, and I have never had a problem with one on the list.
