also there is no folder webcam in /www

Did this installation worked without an error?
Someone in another thread wrote that mjpg-streamer currently doesn't compile

the last version it works is 19 brunch, since 22 it does not what to do
the folder does not appear in www

4

As I wrote it seems that compilation current fails therefore the Package is not available on branch 21/22.
Or did you install it successful with opkg?

5

Well i saw TERMINATED 4 -6 times while installing

6

Your post says "OpenWrt...doesnt create web folder"...did you create the directory first?

Or do you expect the OpenWrt to create the directory?

That seems to be @ZebraOnPC's problem.

???

there is only one file and i tried to copy it from version 19 and i could apply setting with no errors but it doesnt work anyway

camera is not connected but it seems like evrything fine with instaliation but still the problem the same
web folder supposed to be installed but no folder

I experienced the same problem going from 18.x to v23.x. I retried on an old router running 19.x and it worked fine. I even created the missing folders with all possible permissions but no luck. Looking at the log revealed that my cam was not fully compliant with the UVC standard and the openwrt driver tried to patch it. I doubt this is the origin of the problem since the same message was reported in v19.x

I was having the same issue, there does not seem to be any documentation on how this is expected to work, or maybe we can view the stream directly without the LuCI viewer?

Any idea why this might be failing? I've installed with buildroot in 23.05 for GL.inet ar300m and it compiles successfully but I'm getting the invalid message and no stream.

I have kmod-usb-core and kmod-video-uvc installed - is there a way to test that separately?

It seems that the package installation has somehow become incompatible with openwrt versions beyond 19.x. There is at least one missing file as reported in my log when running mjpeg-streamer directly from ssh:
