need noob help with octoprint and 2 usb cams

before anyone says anything. the 2 cams are not on the controller pi. (mmm controller pie)…

so I get the general idea of setting the video0 and video1 but for the life of me I cant find a file that looks right.

or do I just type it in to see if it works then later put it in a config file?

both cams work. almost reminds me of learning DOS. the light bulb over my head is lit, just 1 watt 😀

p.s.
i think I can just do it with the mjpg-streamer settings where ever that file is...

I have a Prusa,therefore I research.

Chris,

From your description, it seems like you are using OctoPi. You can edit /boot/octopi.txt and follow this guide: https://discourse.octoprint.org/t/available-mjpg-streamer-configuration-options/1106

hope that helps,
Gaston
