Unable to open Video Camera #3022

Pi4B Bullseye Arducam 'Night Day' (OV5647) I can capture jpg with libcamera-jpeg and I can stream raw h264 to a VLC player so I know my camera is connected and working. However when I try to add it in MotionEye I get this in the logs vid_start: V4L2 device failed to open I'm trying to add it as a Local V4L2 camera. If I try as MMAL I just get 'An error has occured try refreshing@ Can someone point me in the direction to get my camera working in MotionEye?

motion does not support libcamera. Hence you need to either switch to legacy camera support, and use MMAL driver, or use libcamerify to start motionEye with libcamera=>V4L2 API. See some examples here: https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+libcamerify
