Hi,

I am trying get mjpg_streamer to start at boot with my own parameters.

I have no trouble starting at boot with

/etc/init.d/mjpg-streamer enable

But am having trouble setting configs for the www path and password.

This works perfectly for what I want to do.

mjpg_streamer --input "input_uvc.so --device /dev/video0 --fps 10 --resolution 640x480" --output "output_http.so -w /www/webcam_www -c root:root --port 8080"

I assume this is done by adding to this file;

/etc/config/mjpg-streamer

config mjpg-streamer core
    option device    "/dev/video0"
    option resolution    "320x240"
    option fps        "5"
    option port    "8080"
    option enabled    "true"

But I don't know how! Using UCI?

I tried a manual edit of this file;

/etc/init.d/mjpg-streamer

#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
# Copyright (C) 2009 OpenWrt.org
START=50

SSD=start-stop-daemon
NAME=mjpg_streamer
PIDF=/var/run/$NAME.pid
PROG=/usr/bin/$NAME

start() {
    config_load mjpg-streamer
    config_get device core device
    config_get resolution core resolution
    config_get fps core fps
    config_get port core port
    config_get_bool enabled core enabled
    [ $enabled -gt 0 -a -c $device ] && sleep 3 && $SSD -S -m -p $PIDF -q -x $PROG -- --input "input_uvc.so --device $device --fps $fps --resolution $resolution" --output "output_http.so --port $port" &
}

stop() {
    $SSD -K -p $PIDF
}

To add this; (only added "-w /web/webcam_www" and "-c user:secret" to the output_http.so)

[ $enabled -gt 0 -a -c $device ] && sleep 3 && $SSD -S -m -p $PIDF -q -x $PROG -- --input "input_uvc.so --device $device --fps $fps --resolution $resolution" --output "output_http.so -w /www/webcam_www -c user:secret --port $port" &
}

But I get errors..

Sorry,

It turns out the text editor I was using was adding extra bytes to the file somewhere leading to corrupt files so I moved to good old notepad.

Well I probably should be using vi anyway!!

I added to my
/etc/config/mjpg-streamer

config mjpg-streamer core
    
    option path /www/webcam_www
    option password user:password

I then edited my
/etc/init.d/mjpg-streamer
adding;

config_get path core path
config_get password core password

and;

--output "output_http.so -w $path -c $password --port $port"

Hope that helps.
