Hi, I am asking for help regarding an installation of motioneye on Raspbian.
Installed the service, made it running properly, it is up to date.

I have configured only one camera (EzViz C3N FHD) and the problem is that:

The resolution (selected by the web interface menù) of 1920x1080 gives me error logs "NOT MODULO 16", but i can see the streaming correctly and the Motion detect is properly working.
The "Run A command" is not working at all (maybe caused by the error above..?), it is a mosquitto_pub to send the state to Home-Assistant. The command has been tested with a direct mosquitto_pub and is working properly.
Same problem for the END command

Thanks for anyone will help me!!

Does the command used in Run a Command work if typed in a terminal window or at the command line on the Pi in question, or does it require 'sudo'?
Ditto for the End Command?
for #1, which instruction set to install motion/motionEye did you follow?

@Tavano commented on GitHub (Jan 19, 2021):

Mosquitto is installed on a docker container so, if I use the docker container shell, yes the command works perfectly, Here is the command that i am using in motioneye:
mosquitto_pub -h IP_BROKER -u MQTTUSERNAME -P MQTTPASSWORD -t stat/motionEye/motion -m '{"ipcam":"on"}'
Where IP_BROKER is like 192.168.1.55 and is the IP of the raspberry that cotnains the motionEye and the docker container.
I mean that the Run End Command is not working, the end command is like the previous command:
mosquitto_pub -h IP_BROKER -u MQTTUSERNAME -P MQTTPASSWORD -t stat/motionEye/motion -m '{"ipcam":"off"}'

Try changing the -t stat/... to the full path of the stat file.

where is the file 'stat'?
If it is in /usr/bin/stat then you need to add the '/usr/bin/' before it in
the command
If it is somewhere else then you need to add that part of the path.
you can use the command
which stat [enter]
and it will show something like
/usr/bin/stat
so you would change it from "-t stat/..." to "-t /usr/bin/stat/..."
A lot of environments don't carry over the current path settings being
used, so you need to include the full path to the file/program...

Ah ok, no. nothing changed. The camera app still alert me about motion detect. Also MotionEye, in the interfaces, detects the pixel change but no topic is published.

I have composed a command to lunch from the pi user (the default raspberry user)
sudo docker exec -it mosquitto mosquitto_pub -h IP_BROKER -u mqtt_user -P mqtt_password -t stat/motionEye/motion -m '{"ipcam":"off"}'

It works perfectly using the terminal but on motionEye no. Tryied with "sudo" and with the full path but nothing change. It won't publish the topic

Do you have motioneye service running as the Pi user?
ps auxw| grep meyectl [enter]
will list which user you are running as
in the Run Command enter:
echo $PATH >> /home/pi/path.txt
and save and trigger
then do a cat /home/pi/path.txt
What does it show?

Also do a which docker and add the full path to docker in the run command

Ok I'll try to answer...
Q: which instruction set to install motion/motionEye did you follow?
A: https://indomus.it/guide/integrare-telecamere-come-sensori-di-movimento-su-home-assistant-via-motioneye/

Q: Do you have motioneye service running as the Pi user?
A: Using "ps auxw| grep meyectl" the output is:
`root 352 10.3 0.2 63800 21008 ? Ssl 17:48 0:20 /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/meyectl startserver -c /etc/motioneye/motioneye.conf

pi 2726 0.0 0.0 7348 476 pts/0 S+ 17:51 0:00 grep --color=auto meyectl
`

Q: What does it show?
A: Setting "Run a Command" as echo $PATH >> /home/pi/path.txt the file contains /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin and it is written periodically according to the motion detect

Q: Also do a which docker and add the full path to docker in the run command
A: Done and nothing changed

Contact the HomeAssistant Community and FRENCK about any issues as that
version of motioneEye has been modded, but they won't say what all has been
changed.

May I install a different version of motioneye? Maybe a previous one to make mqtt work?

Hi,
finally I solved the problem, here the steps:

Modified the file /etc/pam.d/su added the following lines (to allow the execution of the script as "pi" user without asking pwd)

# This allows root to su without passwords (normal operation)
auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
auth [success=ignore default=1] pam_succeed_if.so user = pi
auth sufficient pam_succeed_if.so use_uid user = pi
# Uncomment this to force users to be a member of group root

created a script camera_on.py for the motion occured

#!/usr/bin/python
import time
import paho.mqtt.client as paho

#broker="broker.hivemq.com"
broker="MQTT_BROKER_IP" #default port 1883
#define callback
#def on_message(client, userdata, message):
# time.sleep(1)
# print("received message =",str(message.payload.decode("utf-8")))

client= paho.Client("client-001") #create client object client1.on_publish = on_publish #assign function to callback client1.connect(broker,port) #establish
######Bind function to callback
#client.on_message=on_message

#print("connecting to broker ",broker)
client.username_pw_set(username="mqtt_user",password="mqtt_password")
client.connect(broker)
client.loop_start() #start loop to process received messages
#print("subscribing ")
client.subscribe("camera_alert/camera_garage")#subscribe
time.sleep(2)
#print("publishing ")
client.publish("camera_alert/camera_garage","on")#publish
time.sleep(4)
client.disconnect() #disconnect
client.loop_stop() #stop loop

Put the script in /usr/local/bin/
Made it executable chmod +x camera_on.py
Put in the WEB interface of motioneye the following "Run a Command" su -c camera_on.py pi
Repeated steps 2 to 5 for the camera_off.py script
