Subject: [Motion-user] MotionPlus does not see my camera
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed"
I have installed motion and motionplus on a Pi 5 with a? Pi v3 camera.?
Motion works, with a few issues but I get a video stream, Motionplus
complained that it did not have a config file, so I copied the config
from motion, but it still does not see camera and I don't know why.? I
do see the basic web page with the menu on the left.
I have attached the config files and the log file.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks
Mick
