With a HERO8 BLACK working as a webcam (blinking red light on camera, video in cheese)...
manually stopping the gopro_webcam.service does not kick the camera out of webcam mode.
When restarting the service it will not reconnect - and the red light on the camera stays on, no longer blinking.
This prevents changing modes, or reconnecting after a reboot, as the camera must be power cycled to connect a second time.
