404 not found invalid input plugin number

[LuckyLuzz]

Hey, I run into a problem with autostart script. Hope you could maybe help.
I installed the mjpg-streamer following commands:

sudo apt -y install libjpeg62-turbo-dev imagemagick libav-tools libv4l-dev cmake
sudo -iu pi
git clone https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer.git
cd mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.
make
cd ~/mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental
./mjpg_streamer -i "./input_uvc.so" -o "./output_http.so"
or with
/usr/local/bin/mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -r 640x480 -d /dev/video0 -f 15 -q 80" -o "output_http.so -p 8080 -w /usr/local/share/mjpg-streamer/www"

till here everything is fine, but when I try to use a script to start the cam I get the "invalid input plugin number" message in firefox.

Script is:
sudo nano /etc/init.d/mjpg_streamer

So the point is that I am not able to start the stream from a script.

Any thoughts?

Thanks! :)

Hey, your web dirs are different.
e.g. -w /usr/local/www

Try changing the one in the script.

[LuckyLuzz]

yeah there was som kind off dobble name thing. The script name was mjpg_streamer and the accual installed programm ist also called that name. So as I was thinking to start the script it started directly the streaming programm like I would typ: /usr/local/bin/mjpg_streamer

ended up using crontab to call the script + gave the script a different name.

sudo su
crontab -e
@reboot /etc/init.d/webcam_stream

strange but can be closed. thanks for your help!

cd mjpg-streamer-experimental
make
sudo make install

then

sudo adduser webcam video
sudo usermod -a -G video webcam
init
mjpg-streamer.default => /etc/default/mjpg-streamer
mjpg-streamer.init => /etc/init.d/mjpg-streamer
After copying the above files run:

sudo update-rc.d mjpg-streamer defaults
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
systemd
mjpg-streamer.service => /etc/systemd/system/mjpg-streamer.service
