3 years ago If you are using motionEye, then make sure your script is calling /path to python/python3 /path to whatever command you are calling. Most flavors on *nix don't pass the environment paths to root or whatever user you are using to run motionEye.

`#!/usr/bin/python3
from amcrest import AmcrestCamera import time camera = AmcrestCamera('192.168.1.105', 80, 'admin', '**').camera
camera.ptz_control_command(action="start", code="Up", arg1=0, arg2=0, arg3=0) time.sleep(1) camera.ptz_control_command(action="stop", code="Up", arg1=0, arg2=0, arg3=0) `

3 years ago I am not a programmer. Do you have both python 2.7 & python3 installed? Which is default? I am looking at a couple of other possible tests, let you know shortly...

Move camera down 1s

3 years ago Python 3 is standard issue for Arch Linux but I thought by setting the environment to python3 in the script would solve that. when i run the script in the terminal with python2 I get the same error.
I installed pip2 and installed amcrest module, now running the script with python2 works now but it still does not via action button on motioneye.

3 years ago Try moving your script to another folder. Create a new file with the same name and put in:
/usr/bin/python3 /new path to the file/file
See if this works.

I am not sure what is the best way to remedy this. It seems python2 does not have a amcrest module and setting the script to python 3 environment is not working.

3 years ago Still same problem but I found some more info. when i run the command in the terminal via sudo it gives the same error s this because pip installed the amcrest module for the local user? should i use sudo pip to install the module or run as local user?

3 years ago Depends. If you want 'security' run as local user. If you don't care, do the sudo pip install...

So sudo pip install did the trick for anyone else reading this.
Thanks for all your help starbasessd, you have been very helpful and I greatly appreciate it.
Hey, I am having a problem using the action buttons to move my amcrest cameras. The scripts work fine when i run them in the terminal but when I run them using the action buttons in motioneye I get a module not found error. Is this because arch linux uses python3 and motioneye is using python 2.7?
here is the error i get;
Mar 02 14:12:37 archdesktop meyectl[23393]: WARNING: up_4: command has finished with non-zero exit status: 1 Mar 02 14:12:37 archdesktop meyectl[23393]: WARNING: up_4: Traceback (most recent call last): Mar 02 14:12:37 archdesktop meyectl[23393]: WARNING: up_4: File "/etc/motioneye/up_4", line 3, in <module> Mar 02 14:12:37 archdesktop meyectl[23393]: WARNING: up_4: from amcrest import AmcrestCamera Mar 02 14:12:37 archdesktop meyectl[23393]: WARNING: up_4: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'amcrest' Mar 02 14:12:39 archdesktop meyectl[23393]: WARNING: down_4: command has finished with non-zero exit status: 1 Mar 02 14:12:39 archdesktop meyectl[23393]: WARNING: down_4: Traceback (most recent call last): Mar 02 14:12:39 archdesktop meyectl[23393]: WARNING: down_4: File "/etc/motioneye/down_4", line 2, in <module> Mar 02 14:12:39 archdesktop meyectl[23393]: WARNING: down_4: from amcrest import AmcrestCamera Mar 02 14:12:39 archdesktop meyectl[23393]: WARNING: down_4: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'amcrest'Using pip2 to install amcrest module does not seem to solve my problem either. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
