Describe the issue/problem and steps to reproduce
I am using the built in camera of a Macbook Pro 2012 running Ubuntu 24.04. I am able to take pictures and video with streamer and fswebcam successfully. I installed motion via apt install and set my ~/.motion/motion.conf as:
stream_port 8080
stream_localhost off
Then I start motion by running in the terminal:
motion
When I visit hostname:8080 I see a gray screen that shows the text "Unable to open video device".
I see some potential errors in the logs. I will place those in the next section.
