Raspberry Pi 1B, mjpg-streamer and USB web camera - raspberry-pi

Question

I'm using the latest Raspbian Jessie (2016-05-27) and Raspberry Pi 1 Model B (512 Mb). I'm trying to stream video through Logitec C270 (usb web cam) and mjpg-streamer.
I followed instructions here, but it does not work for me.
I'm using the following command to start streaming server and tried different combinations with resolution and frames per second:
/usr/local/bin/mjpg_streamer -i "/usr/local/lib/input_uvc.so -n" -o "/usr/local/lib/output_http.so -p 8888 -w /usr/local/www" &
After that the server is not starting at all. Soon I realised that new kernel requires a patch:

After that the server was up and the LED on camera blinked for a few seconds. Then I've got the following errors:

Can anybody explain me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you.

Answer 1

The problem was that there was too low power for Raspberry Pi. So, it's not problem with Raspberry Pi or mjpg_streamer.
