Add webcam to Octoprint

[TopFord]

First of all you freshly installed mjpg-streamer via dietpi-software, right?

Do not edit /etc/systemd/system/mjpg-streamer.service directly, it would be overwritten by any reinstall/update. Doing it via dietpi-services > mjpg-streamer > Edit was the best approach. Take care to add an empty ExecStart= before the actual new ExecStart line, so that it looks like that:

[Service]
#User=mjpg-streamer
#WorkingDirectory=/opt/mjpg-streamer
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/opt/mjpg-streamer/mjpg_streamer -i 'input_uvc.so -d /dev/video0 -r 1280x960 -f 30' -o 'output_http.so -p 8082 -n'

This doesn’t appear to be working. I had to manually edit /etc/systemd/mjpg-streamer.service to get the camera to change resolutions. mjpg-streamer isn’t using the edited one created in dietpi-services.

You can verify this by looking at the status in the diet-pi services.

Am I doing something wrong?
