Originally created by @RDPythonSoft on GitHub (Feb 20, 2026).

Configuration:
Raspberry Pi 3B+
Trixie
Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3
Used working stream: ~ $ rpicam-vid -t 0 --width 2048 --height 1080 --framerate 30 --codec mjpeg --inline --listen -o tcp://0.0.0.0:8080 -v 0**
Raspberry Pi 4B
Trixie
Motioneye 0.43.1
Not working URL’s: http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:8080/?action=stream
mjpeg://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:8080/
Which URL should I use to add this camera as a network camera to MotionEye?
Which streamcode/URL combinations can work for this application?

Thanks for helping

If the camera and motionEye are on the same host, better use libcamerify and add it as regular V4L2 camera: https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye/issues/2683#issuecomment-2207622479

Else, I am not familiar with rpicam-vid, but would assume http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:8080/ to be the correct URL. Whatever works as well in web browsers.

Could you please specify which video streams (full code syntax) MotionEye 0.43.1 can process and the appropriate URL to add this video stream?
Thanks for your help.

motionEye is not processing the video stream. "motion" does this. See here: https://motion-project.github.io/motion_config.html#netcam_url

Looks like the mjpeg:// scheme is needed when motion was not compiled with FFmpeg (highly unlikely). It generally makes vast use of FFmpeg internally. For MJPEG streams, http:// or https:// is usually correct.

If it is an MJPEG stream, you can also add it as simple MJPEG camera to motionEye, in which case motion (and all features related to it) is skipped. Can serve for testing which URL is correct, but as said, every modern browser can do the same directly.
