Octoprint: Camera control page - what is the url?
Hello,
I am newbie with octoprint and I want to add something new to my printer, I installed Octoprint, and I have 2 issues, (I created separate threads).
I am using Logitech Brio camera, it is recognized by Octoprint software (I can see stream and the snapshots), however I cannot show page (supposed to be http://ip/www/control.htm or http://ip/webcam/control.htm) but it just wont show up.

Thank you for pointing me out, find solution already.
ANSWER: DUE TO SECURITY REAONS THE WEBCAMCONTROL WAS DISABLED BY DEFAULT. SO BEFORE ENABLING IT THINK IF YOU NEED IT.
How to enable control.htm page:
Edit following file on Octopi:
/boot/octopi.txt
and at the end change lines to:
# Current working directory is the mjpg-streamer base directory.
#
camera_http_webroot="./www"
camera_http_options=""
by removing # at the start of line, and change the settings in "" as described above.
Save, reboot, and control page is available at: http://ipaddress/webcam/control.htm

You may get some responses here, but your questions seem to be more Octoprint related than Prusa related. A better location for these types of questions would be on the Octoprint user forum at https://community.octoprint.org
There is a very engaged and active community on those forums

Sigh. I got the camera light to light up today - was a sign that Motion was running. But didn't help me do squat.

What if you don't have Octopi? I manually installed Octoprint - I guess I'll go rooting around in the /boot directory and see what I find.

The same steps should work.

What is FFMPEG and what's the path to it?

Found it. I ended up compiling something called mjpg_streamer and that is now providing me an addressible raspicam - and I was able to configure octoprint to see the snapshots.
