bind:Address already in use.

The default port is the same as the Mirror, 8080. Try adding -p 8081 to your command to change the port.

it works well but now i tried To start mjpg on boot in vain. I used the crontab but how To write it with the options??

@axel - Create a script with your command, name it something obvious like startcam.sh. Make it executable with chmod +x startcam.sh and then use pm2 to autostart and maintain the script: pm2 start startcam.sh When you’re satisfied with pm2’s handling, save the state: pm2 save

In the future, please use the markdown features of the board when posting code & logs.

i did it but the status is not online but stopped. After a moment, the status changed To errored!! Help please…

@axel - Okay. Let’s skip PM2 for now and just concentrate on getting your script running.

Edit the startcam.sh script and paste in the mjpg_streamer command:
mjpg_streamer -o “output_http.so -w ./www” -i “input_uvc.so -f 1 -q 75 -y” -p 8081

Once you have the script file to where it’s only that command, you can try to run that script manually by typing ./startcam.sh. That should be the equivalent of typing the command in yourself.

Try that and let us know how it goes.

@axel he said

he left off that you need to mark the script as executable

chmod +x ./startcam.sh
