I have done everything the instruction manual said, but the camera video feed won't work.

Same issue, and it has been going for months, since July exactly, I tried to fix it myself, but did not have time for that, hopefully it will be fixed soon.

So I had this issue to.
So what I did first I went to "SunFounder_PiCar-V/mjpg-streamer".
I used command " sudo sh start.sh". Got error also site "127.0.0.1:8080" didn;t work.

I found this fork of the mjpg-streamer. I replaced existing one with this and build with instruction.
https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer

After I installed I tried " sudo sh start.sh", webstite worked.

So I had to run again "sudo ./install_dependencies" to replace old files.

Then it started working for me.

This is my repo with all the changes I did to make it work "https://github.com/waszak/SunFounder_PiCar-V"

If it helps anyone then probably then they should update library

I am also having trouble with getting the SunFounder PiCar front camera to work. I am interested in trying waszak's solution, but I am not sure how to install the new repo into the Raspberry Pi.

I updated the Raspberry Pi 3B+ code using waszak's github directory instead of sunfounder's. The servos for the camera work better than they did before, but the video feed still has nothing. Is it possible that I bent the FFC cable too much? Not sure what else I can do to troubleshoot.
