Hi everyone,
I've been using MotionEyeOS for about a year and it's worked perfectly until now. I used the setup from this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe-xs7Aqzt8), using a Raspberry Pi 4 with a Logitech webcam. I had to change my WiFi password yesterday, and when I did I decided to install the latest Motion Version and essentially do a clean install. Unfortunately, my ability to capture pictures and videos doesn't seem to be working now. I can take a snapshot and it will save on the MicroSD card installed in the Raspberry Pi, but that's it. I tried changing .mp4 to .avi but no joy with that, either.
Below are my settings - thanks in advance for your help:
Video Device
File Storage
Video Streaming
Still Images
Movies
Motion Detection

Any errors in the logs? Do you see enough changed pixels to match the 1% threshold? What if you add
emulate_motion onin "Extra Motion Options", does that trigger video/picture capture?@nickmartin1ee7 commented on GitHub (Sep 16, 2020):
I just upgraded to this version, and I'm experiencing the same issue. My recording is set to continuous recording, and it rarely outputs any video files at all. This is for two separate devices
@icurnow commented on GitHub (Nov 8, 2020):
Same issue here after upgrade. I can click to take a pic this get correctly saved and sent to google. Motion shown by red frame results in nothing though.... Used to work fine.
@hipitihop commented on GitHub (Apr 7, 2021):
I have 2 cameras recording as expected, however a third, never records regardless of my motion settings. Not sure this is related.
@starbasessd commented on GitHub (Apr 7, 2021):
@hipitihop you don't give much info.
Are your 3 cameras USB? If so, there's an inherent limit in Linux to 2 USB cameras per USB controller. Are they IP? WiFi or Ethernet connected? CSI Cable? Mix? What mix?
What SBC or PC are you using? Pi, (1,2,3B,3B+, 4B -1GB, -2GB, -4GB, -8GB, Zero, ZeroW) or one of a dozen clones, or PC?
Which OS are you running it on?
Which install instruction set?
This is why it's a bad thing(TM) to hijack an existing issue. Better to mention the existing issue in a new one.
@starbasessd commented on GitHub (Apr 7, 2021):
@nickmartin1ee7 @icurnow Ditto to you, and at least answer @zagrim 's questions...
I use motion 4.2.2 for my production system (i5, Ubuntu 20.04, etc) and no issues with 5 cameras (1 USB Webcam, 3 d-Link DCS-5020-Ls, and a Foscam 9900 RTSP mode).
@blgo commented on GitHub (Nov 25, 2021):
I also had this issue on v0.42.1 and fixed it by changing the movie format to Matroska video .mkv
@starbasessd commented on GitHub (Nov 25, 2021):
Motion, not motionEye. Motion version should now be 4.3.2 (4.4.0 has issues) motionEye should be 0.42.1.
@starbasessd commented on GitHub (Nov 25, 2021):
Be careful if upgrading to Bullseye, also. They took out PiCamera, the raspivid and raspistill apps, and converted a lot of things to libcamera, which breaks things like motion. They also removed python camera too, breaking even more things.
