old genius webcam not working #712

Closed jose1711 closed 6 years ago

i am getting "Error capturing first image" and lots of errors for my secondary genius webcam.

xawtv -hwscan:
/dev/video0: OK                         [ -device /dev/video0 ]
    type : libv4l
    name : CIF Single Chip     
    flags:  capture

debug log:

   DEBUG: creating mjpg client for camera 7
   ERROR: could not start mjpg client for camera id 7: not enabled or not local
   DEBUG: control brightness of device /dev/v4l/by-id/usb-Pixart_Imaging_Inc._CIF_Single_Chip-video-index0 is 51%

image quality is really poor compared to today's standards but if i am able to see the image in xawtv, then i believe it should work with motioneye as well.

issue solved by adding Environment="LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" into motioneye.service file: https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/issues/542
