Is this still required with the changes that were made in #741?
Have you tested a recent nightly build to see if you still have a restarting issue?
hey @cp2004,
Thanks for your reply!

I'm not using the latest version, it's a bullseye nightly build from november so it's from after #741 , but I can test it tomorrow with the most recent ones to verify if you want
It would help if you can test and confirm. It looks though like its a good idea in general.
I'm printing atm and my job is about to be ongoing for a few hours but right after that I'll give it a try with the latest nightly build to verify.
To be continued :)

The way I read #741 / #740 was that it was fixing a regular restarting issue, so it is interesting to see that doesn't work.

@cp2004: Looking at the commits in #741 those are changes to fix restarts caused by issues at daemon level (IE the webcamd script itself to fix crashes of mjpg_streamer
)...
The change I suggest is not: It's on another level to fix a restart that is caused by systemd
after a certain time if the script did not fork (I think its 1 minute by default).
When I run:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mjpg-streamer /opt/mjpg-streamer/mjpg_streamer
... And when I run /root/bin/webcamd
itself, the script runs in the foreground because the --background
or -b
argument is not used when starting mjpg_streamer
.
We could leave it at forking, but in that case we should start mjpg_streamer
with the --background
argument to make sure it forks as expected by systemd
.
(Although personally I think setting it so Simple
is an easier change as forking daemons are not so common anymore since sysv-init
has been replaced by systemd
)
btw: I've tested with the latest nightly and I still see the same behaviour: My camera runs for around a minute until the streams stops shortly and if I refresh my page it's working again (iow: the restart by systemd completed and it keeps running for the next minute)
Hey, @foosel tested, merging this
Hello :)
I've seen several issues related to webcamd restarting very frequently and ran in the same issue:
This mention in the community fixed it for me and as I didn't see it in this branch yet, a PR to change this behaviour.
Hope you are willing to merge this.
Thanks a lot for maintaining this repository :) Keep up the good work!
