My reply was in response to the question from [email protected].
I don't know anything about VMWare, sorry. Possibly someone else can
help. I think you may need to give more information. Showing your motion
config file might be useful and saying *exactly* what the error you are
getting is.

I was hoping you could reference an actual link you were reading.? I
included the Motion home page below my response which has a link to the
documentation (mainly copied from the old wiki of? "getting started").
It starts off with a general description of setting up the cameras and
then goes into the various configuration options.? The general
description was written specifically for those that have zero coding
knowledge.? If there are specific items in it that are not clear,
require specialized knowledge or are missing, I'd be interested in know
what they are so that? it? can be expanded or rewritten.
This is the exact link that is on the documentation page.

Motion works running in VMs but I have experience an issue with respect
to V4L2 devices not being immediately recognized by the VM which causes
a watchdog.
Accessing the streams from the client on the host would be related to
the VM setup rather than Motion.? (I can access the streams fine either
on the client VM or from hosts pointing to the VM IP.)
