If this is on a Raspberry Pi, and KMS is enabled (dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d in /boot/config.txt), then it fails expectedly. If it is a camera module 3 or newer, then it cannot work with the legacy camera interface either. However, here is a workaround: https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye/issues/2900#issuecomment-1902774793

Unable to set format: Device or resource busy

That means your camera is used by some other process.
