Hello,
My Logitech QuickCam E2500 webcam which worked with Buster 32 bit on Raspberry PI3 is not detected by Motioneye on Bullseye.
Do you know where the problem could come from? thanks for your advices.
New installation done yesterday.
motionEye 0.42.1
Motion 4.3.2

This is a USB camera, right?
That such a large number of (non-functional)
/dev/video*and/dev/media*devices are shown on RPi has been reported here already: #2425But this was attached via RPi camera slot and not a regular USB camera, so the solution to switch to legacy camera module stack doesn't work in your case. I'm hence still, or specially here puzzled how one is supposed to access a camera that is spread across 16 kernel devices for some reason... Looks like I need to check whether my USB cameras as well add 16 devices on my RPi 2 and RPi Zero W, probably it is a kernel/firmware bug. Like that we cannot manage it via
v4l2-ctl.@MacAre commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2022):
Yes, it's a USB webcam
I just tested with Raspbian Lite Bullseye 64 bit, it's the same. Linux detects the USB webcam but not MotionEye.

Several days ago, I installed Bullseye Lite 32 bit on PI0W with another USB webcam model and it works.
I will go back to Buster for my PI3.


Webcam Logitech QuickCam E2500 OK with Buster 32bit
@MichaIng commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2022):
Out of interest, if you detach the camera, do all the other devices still show up in the list?
@MacAre commented on GitHub (Apr 30, 2022):
I went back to Buster so the requested test may not interest you. But here is the result if I unplug the USB webcam.

Note: there are also 2 arduino (RFLink) connected by USB on the PI3.
@MichaIng commented on GitHub (May 1, 2022):
These bcm2835 ones sound like provided by RPi camera module driver. Is it enabled, e.g. via
start_x=1orcamera_auto_detect=1in/boot/config.txt? Or are the USB cameras all shown like this with the same name?I already thought that we should add the device path as additional identifier, although that such a large number of devices all with the same name even exists doesn't look right to me (issue with RPi firmware/kernel).
@MacAre commented on GitHub (May 1, 2022):
I don't have these commands in /boot/config.txt
(Warning, I went back to Buster).
My USB cameras are not displayed in bcm2835 but in USB Camera.
