Flags

Input Flags

When specifying the input .so, use the following flags:

The -d flag is used to specify the device - for example, /dev/video0.

The -n flag is useful for suppressing error messages about pan/tilt controls, which most cameras don't have anyway.

The -y flag is used to specify YUYV format, in case the camera does not support mjpeg format.

The -r flag specifies the resolution, or whatever.

The -f flag specifies the frame rate.

Errors

Tried this command, but no images showed up at all through the web interface:
