Installing MJPG on Unraid


Recommended Posts

Hi all. 

 

I am trying to install MJPG on my unraid server so I can view my webcam.

I get the below error when I view the logs for the docker:

 

MJPG Streamer Version: git rev: 501f6362c5afddcfb41055f97ae484252c85c912
 i: Using V4L2 device.: (null)
 i: Desired Resolution: 160 x 120
 i: Frames Per Second.: 10
 i: Format............: JPEG
 i: TV-Norm...........: DEFAULT
 i: init_VideoIn failed

** Press ANY KEY to close this window ** 

 

Below is my config for the docker:

image.thumb.png.a72ef5f50cbdbdb072dd1f250fae542a.png

 

And the docker does not start. Can someone please assist me with this.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I think there is your error...

 

Do you pass through a webcam? If so, try to install the DVB Plugin and select the LibreELEC Package (should be the default), I include a few webcamera drivers in there, I think this could be what's missing.

Hi,

 

Thank you for the response. I have the USB passed through as in the docker settings screenshots. Not sure if I have to pass it through somewhere else as well. I just installed the DVB Plugin and selected LibreELEC Package and I am still getting the same error message, init_Videoin failed... Can i be that the camera is not supported? It is quite a common Logitech C920 i believe.

 

Thanks in advance.
