HI Chrisan,

Tried with git mrdave branch of motion and the following command;
cd [your-motion-dir]
./configure --prefix=/usr --without-pgsql --without-sdl --without-sqlite3 --without-mysql

However, it said no such file /directory.
peng@cac:~/motion$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --without-pgsql --without-sdl --without-sqlite3 --without-mysql
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

Any thoughts on this?

I was trying to use a small form factor PC to be a central server to manage all remote pie cam and do a central storage and capture.

Please let me know.

thanks in advance

With previous versions is was easy to start the service as non-root user. How can it be done since ver. 0.27 where meyectl is used for controlling the service?

Entering login/password again and again on each page update is very annoying. It will be better to set auth cookie and check it on page reload.

Using 0.27.2 on a raspberrypi2...

I started getting this message right after upgrading motion from what is in the wheezy distribution to the Mr-Dave fork version. I am no longer able to add and save any camera and keep getting this message. I did uninstall the old version before compiling the new.

No camera configuration works. I had used http://192.168.2.9:88/videoSub with user name and password in the appropriate boxes.

By the way, I did have the camera working in 0.27.2 (but not with rtsp) with the old version of motion from the distribution.

As this tool does not seem to allow me to attach a text file, let me copy and paste part of the log file:

I need to update the motion detection option from cli when I detect needed mac addresses in my network. But I can't restart motioneye because I use docker. I need to update config w/0 motioneye restart. Do we have such feature?

Hi,

I'm using still the version 0.27.1. It works quite well (even if I'm missing sound) but would like to update to the latest version. What would be the smartest way to do so?

I'm having problems with some of my cameras triggering motion events due to significant changes in light. MotionEye has a setting to turn on the lightswitch setting but sets it to 50 (%). I made a manual change to the thread file for one of the cameras to set this to 25% but then made other changes through the MotionEye interface. It appears that when I used the interface the lightswitch setting was also changed back to 50.

I would suggest that allowing one to set the percentage through the interface would be useful, or at least for the interface to not reset the parameter.

hello, i'm on rasbian jessie on RPI2.

should i manually copy me motioneye.conf sample to /etc/motioneye ?

thanks for your help

Hi all, in motionpie there was an option (i thought) to run a command at startup, in motioneye that option is abscent. Is it possible to run a command or script at boot of motioneye? Thx.

I am getting tons of false alerts from my outdoor cameras, due to tree shadows moving around in the wind. It would be nice to be able to specify a greater pixel change percentage than 20, as well as setting the noise level greater than 25%. Also adding support for the despeckle options would be nice, as well as the ability to upload a sensitivity mask image. Instead of trying to build a fancy interface to create a mask, my suggestion would be to have a simple file upload which takes a jpeg file, and on upload converts it to pgm format.

HI Crisan,

I don't know how to describe this. I had Pi/Cam as networkcam/simple mjpeg cam connected to my new Small PC with motioneeye installed and take in streaming with URL of "IP:8081". I have another pi cam with motionpie installed and remotely connected to this new pc as well as a "motioneye" peer.

The image I have on my Web view of those streaming are "jumping" or "refreshing" fast. It's not a smooth display.

Is there any parameters that I didn't put it correct value?

thanks in advance.

Hello Calin,
sorry to bother once again; for some reason I have "Motion Triggered" not working in "Still Images" and motion.log reports the following error:
meyectl relayevent: error: unrecognized arguments: -b
usage: meyectl relayevent [-c CONFIG_FILE] [-d] [-h] [-l] [-v] event thread_id
meyectl relayevent: error: unrecognized arguments: -b
don't know if relevant for motion triggered; I'm using motion 3.2.12.
thanks

Hi,
strange behaviour for me is that if you delete pictures or movies from webUI motioneye also deletes the folder /var/lib/motioneye; then if a picture or a movie is taken it creates the folder back again
can you replicate it?
Thanks

Hi!

I installed Motioneye like in the Wiki and all worked fine for some days.
But now, all images (like buttons, etc) are missing in the webinterface.

What I have done already:

• removed motioneye (pip uninstall) and all dependencies
• deleted pip cache
• deleted config files
• reinstalled --> same

Before it got 'broke' I worked on the nginx config to access motioneye via ssl.

• Using Archlinux 4.2.4
• running motioneye with root, so there should be no permission problem to access img folder
• same result with port 8765 / nginx proxy
• same result on different devices

--> I discovered, that PIL and pillow where both installed. But they are in conflict? I uninstalled PIL, reinstalled everything.. but same result..

Thank you!

Hello,

i have update using pip install --upgrade motioneye (as root) in my RPI2.
Now motioneye is broken and the version shows 0.27.2 unless the message "Successfully installed motioneye-0.28.2 pillow-3.0.0"

thanks

I am not sure this is an issue with motioneye, raspistill, or by design but I thought I would ask here. Is it possible (or should it be possible) to run the raspberry pi raspistill camera utility when motioneye is running? Motion/Motioneye uses /dev/video0 and I thought I was able to run the raspistill to capture still images with motioneye running in the past but I can no longer do that. [Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, Raspian Jesse, Pi NOIR camera module]

With motioneye off, "raspistill -o image.jpg" works as expected, with motioneye on, raspistill errors out with the following...

pi@seccam ~ $ raspistill -o image.jpg
mmal: mmal_vc_component_enable: failed to enable component: ENOSPC
mmal: camera component couldn't be enabled
mmal: main: Failed to create camera component
mmal: Failed to run camera app. Please check for firmware updates

I have updated Raspian and the Pi's firmware to the latest available software/firmware.

After successful login as admin, Chrome does not propose to save login/password. I need to enter credentials again and again...

Hello ccrisan,

would it be possible to add pagination (or maybe continuous scrolling?) to the pictures and movies? At some days my cameras take more than 10.000 pictures and it takes a long time to load them. Sometimes the list even stops loading.

The error I receive while loading the list from /picture/{id}/list/ is:

{"error": "Failed to get pictures list."}

Regards
Chris

First of all, thanks for the soft, it's amazing.

I've got a 'Motion Gap' of 600, meaning that if the motionpie detect a motion, it will only send a notification once, and wait for a 10 minutes no-motion before detecting another one.

This part works and it's great, but it still takes pictures when it detects something, so I've got 300+ shots taken in minutes (but only 1 notification), and the storage is full in a matter of hours.
I don't think it's supposed to happen.

Also I'm using the latest version of motionpie with motioneye 20150719 (Up-to-date apparently)

Thanks.

Hello,

I installed Motioneye on Raspbian with an acces point config (dhcpd and isc-dhcp-serve), so I can directly connect MotionEye by WIFI.
Everything goes OK, until I reboot the Raspberry (stop with shutdown -h now and replug the pi) ... then I lost http access : ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED ... but I still can acces the Pi by SSH...

Motioneye service is running ok, dhcpd running ok and isc-dhcp-server is running ok too...

Do you have an idea ?

Thanks a lot for this good job !

Is motioneye supposed to support Fast Network Camera (using streameye), or is that only a MotionPie thing?

I'm running motioneye 0.27.2 on a RPi 2 with Raspbian, with the NoIR camera module, and cannot see the option to enable Fast Network Camera anywhere in the settings.

Total noob here, sorry for possibly using the wrong channel to seek help and perhaps report an issue. Please do point me in the right direction if it's not too much trouble.

I'm trying to set up an EC2 Ubuntu server instance and motioneye on it, to control two of my raspberry pis running motionpie (since one of them is a B version, I'd like to try and set it up as a fast network cam and do all the motion work on the EC2 instance). I've followed your installation instructions for Ubuntu and got to the starting of the motionEye server, but the following pops up:
"CRITICAL:root:failed to read settings from "/etc/motioneye/motioneye.conf": unknown configuration option: motion:control_localhost"

I'm using your sample conf as the starting conf file. http://pastebin.com/0dW0G1SS

Hi Calin,
I have a small question regarding file permissions of the media_path. I'm running motioneye on Raspian as user 'root', so that all files in the media_path are stored under /home/pi/pictures with 'root' ownership. Although all jpg files have -rw-rw-rw- permissions, I'm unable to delete them as regular user 'pi' on the console, because permissions of the parent directories '2015-11-11' are set to drwxr-xr-x.

Is it possible to configure file permissions for the media folder somewhere? I have mounted my Raspberry's pictures folder as a samba share. When I try to delete pictures, the Window Explorer also complains about insufficient permissions.

I know, that it is possible to run motion eye as the user 'pi', but this is not an option for me, because it disables the possibility to 'reboot' through the web interface.

Cheers
/luetzel

I have a PIR sensor connected to my Pi.

Is it possible to force motion trigger outside motioneye?

where is Media Browser

Hello,

Can anyone help me with this? No movies create on motion detection. Build is based on this article https://bitbucket.org/ccrisan/motioneye/wiki/Installation%20Guide .Log file as follows

Many Thanks
GAry

Is there a way to set a file as a mask as in the regular version of Motion? It would be helpful to mask out traffic and known areas of movement.

Hello, i noticed this problem in version 0.27.2 and now in 0.28.2.
Pictures are saved, but movies are not.

thanks

Hi, i recently changed webcams, deleted webcam from the gui and added the new cam. It worked at first but after a system reboot the gui was no longer reachable on the adress i always use. I updated motioneye today in an attempt to fix it but no such luck. I always start motioneye with $ sudo meyectl startserver -b -c /etc/motioneye/motioneye.conf that always worked but now i'm getting error: 'CRITICAL:root:failed to read settings from "/etc/motioneye/motioneye.conf": unknown configuration option: motion_control_localhost'.
Can anyone advice? Thx alot!

Hi, are you planning to add local network file storage functionality like in motionPie?

OK I admit I'm a newbie... but... Ive manages to get my pi running OpenVPN and an AirTunes server... I even rebuilt it with motionPie... and thought... why not get it to do all three!

So I went back to a basic rasbian install.
I followed the wiki and when I downloaded git clone https://bitbucket.org/ccrisan/motioneye.git
the motioneye.pl file is empty and there is no setup_example config file

Am I missing something or am I just too much of a newbie?

Thanks
Steve

Any hint?

Hi Calin,
0.27.2 version still giving me lot of errors; is there a pip command to upgrade to the latest commit before a new version is released?
Thanks

It would be great to have interval and motion detection (with work schedule)
still image recording.

I know it is possible to write cron to change settings time to time.
But with custom (gpio) trigger event it make sense.

I don't know why but since this afternoon, my raspberry pi with MotionEyeOs is always rebooting ...
It's says that eth0 has no IP address but the respberry pi is connected at my network ...
Thanks

When I use Firefox (v42) on linux and I click a camera feeds icon for pictures or moves it shows up like this...

http://i.imgur.com/V4C7VQn.png

I cannot exit (no exit button), no folders on the left side, and no buttons on the bottom. I have to reload the page and sign in again.

( a side issue, not as important is that in Chromium it resizes the camera feed block very nicely but that doesn't seam to be happening in Firefox)

Thoughts?

I installed motionEye with Mr Dave's motion (I needed to do these steps for ffmpeg btw: #11 (comment)) and motioneye failed starting on boot:

INFO: hello! this is motionEye server 0.27.2
INFO: motion not installed

after logging in however

/etc/init.d/motioneye start

would have it start just fine. Setting the motion binary path in /etc/motioneye/motioneye.conf to

/usr/local/bin/motion

solved that issue.

I was just following the installation steps from the wiki on a clean raspbian install on a rasbpi B (Linux raspberrypi 4.1.6+ #810 PREEMPT )
These were the only issues, motioneye works like a charm, thanks!

I want to refer to this issue https://bitbucket.org/ccrisan/motioneye/issues/189/memory-usage-after-a-few-days
I have these problems, too. First i was running motioneye (-pie) on a raspberry pi (256MB), but after 1-2 days, motioneye stopped working with the described dmesg error "out of memory".
I switched over to a cubieboard with 1024MB and still have the problem - after 7+ days. The pyhon process is > 700MB ram usage at the time, when the error occurs. I have edited settings.py as you have described and will report, if i can see any difference. For me it seems, there is some memory leak in motioneye or motion itself, or caused by my settings. Maybe we should do some bisecting ....
rellla

I combined the "old" motioneye versions as a daemon and combined them with my doorbell. When smb. rang the door motioneye daemon was stopped, a picture was taken via command line tool and send per telegram to my mobile and after that motioneye daemon was started again. Worked really well. Now with all the changes this doesn't work anymore as paths and the tool itself have changed. How can I stop/start the motioneye (meyectl?) with command line?

I was getting a GPG error when trying to add the repository. You may want to add the below instruction prior instead of after, for users who are using Raspbian. It will save some confusion, and time.

sudo apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring

Hi Calin,
is this error on motioneye log (opening interval snapshot images) telling some package is missing? I'm on Raspbian
Thanks
