Mjpg_streamer can view web interface but not stream - ubuntu-16.04

Question

My issue is that I am trying to configure mjpg_streamer to stream my webcam onto a web page with either my built in webcam or over a USB webcam. Using Mjpg_streamer, I am able to get to the page where it is supposed to display the stream "localhost:8080" and "localhost:8080/action?=stream" but I cannot see any image or get any errors printed out. Below you can see that my USB webcam does work with other programs besides mjpg_streamer.
Webcam works with cheese but not with mjpg_streamer

I have checked numerous other sources but none of their fixes seemed to work for me. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=100818 This source seemed to be promising, but the fix was with the kernel version of their pi, but I'm currently using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Here is the command I use to start the stream (had to hand the path to input_uvc.so and output_http because those were giving me errors previously).
~/mjpg-streamer-code-182/mjpg-streamer-experimental$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/XXXXXXXX/mjpg-streamer-code-182/mjpg-streamer-experimental/plugins/input_uvc:/home/aquabotix/mjpg-streamer-code-182/mjpg-streamer-experimental/plugins/output_http mjpg_streamer -i "input_uvc.so -f 30 -d /dev/video1" -o "output_http.so -p 8080 -w ./www"
One more thing I would like to add is that a lot of people with a similar issue were able to see their stream using VLC and inputting the stream URL, but unfortunately this does not work for me either.
I apologize if this is long-winded and disorganized but I could not find any relevant answers to this question anywhere else.
Edit:Here is the output of executing the mjpg-streamer script I use, it contains the same command from above except has a line to kill any mjpg-streamer process that might be running before executing the command.
$ ./mjpg_streamer.sh
mjpg_streamer: no process found

Your URL should be:
/?action=stream
not
/action?=stream
