thelaw reacted to thelaw in Webcam does not work with motion or other softwareHello everyone,
I am kinda of new to the orange, I think it's fantastic, I worked with rasp for while and I think the orange just slashes it.
Pampering the orange aside, I am trying to hook up an old webcam to the Orange pi lite and I running into some issue, my lsusb info is this:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1e4e:0100 Cubeternet WebCam When I start motion, everything works fine, although when I go on the browser a gray screen comes up saying: unable to open video device
I have changed the configuration file of /etc/motion/motion.conf and /etc/default/motion as instructed here:
http://www.orangepi.org/Docs/Webcams.html
Plus I have changed the with my ip and removed the semicolin
netcam_url I changed so I can connect
localhost:off I have tried everything on the net to make it work, it just doesn't, I have even changed multiple cameras that I do know for sure work, but nothing, I don't know what I am doing wrong.
Update:
The webcam seems to run with mplayer
Now motion does not even stream anymore, I did not change anything or touched it
FIY I think this is obvious I am running armbian
Thanks
