I am having the same problem. If you use mmalcam_control_params -a 16, this will turn on the annote feature showing the shutter. You'll notice that the shutter is only ~500,000 ms, or 0.5s. This is because Motioneye has a minimum framerate of 2 fps. Therefore, the longest shutter length it can have the sensor open to take a picture is 0.5s since 1s/0.5 per image = 2 images per second.
So while the camera may allow for shutters up to 6s, Motioneye does not. I am having the same problem. I do not know if Motioneye allows you to decrease the fps below 2, so my apologies there.
New to this so am not sure where to put this or if this has been addressed. Love MotionEye btw.
I believe I read that shutter speed was limited to 6 seconds. I am really looking to do longer shutter speeds for night shots. I have used the mmalcam_control_params with night, iso, shutter speed but I cannot pull in the night shots I would like. Is it possible to open up the max shutter speed limit or is there a reason for that?
Using Pi Zero W with Pi Cam V2 and MotionEyeOS
EDIT: I realize now the 6 seconds is a Pi Camera limit from what I can see. However, it still doesn't seem like I am getting a 6 second exposure using mmalcam_control_params -ss 600000
