I need some moderate spoon-feeding here. I upgraded the webcam on my printer.
I found the info on configuring web cams, but I'm not sure what to do with this info.

I got into the mjpg-streamer directory and tried some of the commands, but the changes didn't impact anything in Octoprint. Do these strings need to be in a configuration file or script somewhere?
I used to do Unix, but MANY years ago. I don't remember how to use VI, but I can look it up if needed ...
The new camera works, but I just want to mess with the resolution settings, white balance, frame rate, etc.
Thanks.

The FAQ has several sections about video and the config mystery seems common:

After you tune the parameters for best picture, unleash nano on the config file:
Code: Select all
nano /boot/octopi.txt
I don't use Octopi, but have rammed head-on into the video wall a few times …

Thanks, Ed. I'll give it a shot and see where I get.
