Hello! I have a problem with my current setup of motioneye, the cam feed simply doesn´t show up. I have a fresh install of motioneyeos, everything works but the cam! I tried the cam on an other sd card with raspbian and there it works just fine. Cam is okay, also the 3B, same for the cable.

Okay, i think there is a problem with motion. I just activated "fast network camera" and it suddenly works! But i want to use the features like motion detection for timelapse pictures.

Have the same issue on 4 of my pi Zero and tried with 6 of my camera modules that I know works.

Clean install on all of MotionEyeOS. GUI just gives me the spinning thingy.

By activating "fast network camera" , the image show's in GUI. In my case this solved my issue after some hours due to having a Virtual Machine running MotionEye on Ubuntu that this Pi's are suppose to send the feed to.

The curious thing is, i had this os a year ago on my ZeroW and it worked without any problems from the start. I hope that it is gonna be solved soon, because i need a live feed for my clients that order 3d prints, so they can watch the progress and i can get some timelapse material out of this.

Sisko4 avatar Sep 14 '19 10:09 Sisko4

have you considered octopi (https://octoprint.org/) for that ?

unk1nd avatar Sep 14 '19 10:09 unk1nd

or try out the pre-release https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/releases/tag/20190911

unk1nd avatar Sep 14 '19 10:09 unk1nd

I tried octoprint a few times, but it doesn´t work very well for me, plus the octolapse feature doesn´t work with my printer and i have better results and control with the integrated system. I will try out the pre-release or wait till a stable is released.

Sisko4 avatar Sep 14 '19 13:09 Sisko4

@Sisko4 I recommend trying the latest pre-release. There's an issue with Chrome that the latest pre-release has addressed. It might work for you.

When the release version comes out?

auriux avatar Sep 16 '19 20:09 auriux

I tried the pre-release today, it starts up, connects to the wlan, but that is all it does. No interface. I can see the ip and the hostname in the router, but i can´t connect to it.

I can't get the cam to display an image in the MotionEyeOS UI with my RPi Zero W setup, when using Chrome on Mac OSX. Safari is fine on MacOSX and Chrome is fine on iOS. I am using the latest build of the MotionEyeOS for the board.

Chrome Version 76.0.3809.132 (Official Build) (64-bit)

To clarify: In Chrome on Mac OSX, I can see the MEOS UI, I can log in and I have the camera panel in the view, but the panel just shows the animated clocking icon. In the Chrome console, I am getting 403 forbidden connection issues. image

I wondered if there were Chrome extension or cache issues, but turning off extensions and clearing the cache had no impact.

Well, it is posted that the pre-release include the fix but the latest release does not

unk1nd avatar Sep 18 '19 12:09 unk1nd

Thx.

dewexdewex avatar Sep 18 '19 12:09 dewexdewex

Okay, i re-flashed the card with the pre-release again and now it works, must have been an error while flashing.

Hii... I am using RaspberryPi 4 model B and isnatlled motioneyeOS latest version vcgetcmd showing no camera supported

SureshkumarSenthilkumar avatar Jan 05 '23 06:01 SureshkumarSenthilkumar

Use RPi4 dev20201026, not 20200606.

starbasessd avatar Jan 05 '23 16:01 starbasessd

Use RPi4 dev20201026, not 20200606. I tried that also showing no camera supported when I update config.txt by adding start_x=1 then it booting properly

SureshkumarSenthilkumar avatar Jan 05 '23 16:01 SureshkumarSenthilkumar

There isn't a startx=1 in motionEyeOS. There is no desktop GUI environment.

starbasessd avatar Jan 05 '23 16:01 starbasessd

There isn't a startx=1 in motionEyeOS. There is no desktop GUI environment.
