fyi this is how i start the stream

sudo ./mjpg_streamer -i "./input_uvc.so" -o "./output_http.so"

is this supposed to show a date?

Yes; first field is unix timestamp of local machine when the jpg image was fully downloaded. Second field is ts_late which is the amount of time between the JPG embedded timestamp and when the image was downloaded (two computer clock offset causes this to break). This relies on mjpg-streamer embedding a valid timestamp on outbound JPGs. Which it doesn't seem to be doing in your case

But we are in luck!

jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer@1b22b2e

As of Aug 5, 2016, mjpg-streamer added a -timestamp option to enable this functionality :)

So, your second field is showing an exceptionally high value. This suggests to me that adding -timestamp to your mjpg_streamer invocation should make this second field go to an appropriate value (<<1 second). The program relies on this to estimate which image is safe to save based on how much time has elapsed since the pattern output was updated.

sudo ./mjpg_streamer -timestamp -i "./input_uvc.so" -o "./output_http.so"

Just for reference, this is how I start it in a shell script:

mjpg_streamer -o "output_http.so -w ./www" -i "input_raspicam.so -quality 100 -x $X_RES -y $Y_RES -fps $FPS -ISO 100 -awb off -ex off --awbgainR $RED_GAIN --awbgainB $BLU_GAIN -timestamp -shutter $EXPOSURE_TIME"

The Software Setup Guide has been amended with two invocation examples.

that is wierd...it is not liking the timestamp switch
FYI
before i compile i have to

sudo apt autoremove python-opencv libopencv-dev

compile then i install again or else i get

after looking...it looks like input_raspicam.so is doing the timestamp and input_uvc.so doesnt support it.

It looks like the correct command is below if it supported it

sudo ./mjpg_streamer -i "./input_uvc.so -timestamp" -o "./output_http.so"

Is the timestamp somehow encoded in the stream? How does it read it?

Can you reply to this...asking Exif or http header?
