do you realize you public IP is also in the screenshot

andie_will5 · August 26, 2020, 6:40pm

Well spotted… dam that transparent ui

Skeletorjus · September 8, 2020, 10:14am

Try changing the format to H.264 (.mp4).

Allanon · September 8, 2020, 2:55pm

Changing to just H.264 only fixed it.

Thank you so much!

Hello. After last update to version 0.9.0. My IP cam dont work in motioneye web UI. I haven’t edit any config after update. I tried reinstall addon with reboot hassio and add my ip cam again, but it dont work.
After add my cam i have “An error occurred. Refreshing is recommended” in web ui. And this in log of addon:

 ERROR: motion not running, starting it
 ERROR: failed to start motion: motion failed to start
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/motioneye/server.py", line 325, in checker

    raise Exception('motion failed to start')
Exception: motion failed to start
 WARNING: Connect error on fd 16: ECONNREFUSED

Does anyone have a solution? Or how can I install the previous version of the addon

stefball · September 8, 2020, 7:16pm

try this “MotionEye 0.9.0 update failure”

iozefir · September 8, 2020, 8:46pm

Thanks a lot, your advice solved the problem

nickrout · September 8, 2020, 9:40pm

motionEye 0.9.0 is working fine on my Debian/Supervised installation.

tboyce1 · September 8, 2020, 11:47pm

Is it still possible to enable “Advanced Settings”? I don’t seem to have it under “General Settings”. I’m running this on a NUC in proxmox with the qcow2 image, if that matters.

Edit: Never mind sounds like this isn’t needed. What I actually wanted was “Expert Settings” but that’s apparently a MotionEyeOS thing and not available here.

stefball · September 9, 2020, 2:35pm

I wrongly left auto-update switch on and today I found the add-on updated to 0.9.0. In a few minutes I restored the 0.8.1 version

Zeunas · September 19, 2020, 11:34pm

Hiya can someone help me set up a card with Motioneye camera stream on lovelace please? I have tried all different approaches mention here but I just can’t figure out why non of them are working…

Zeunas · September 20, 2020, 8:02am

Just realised I had no information on my previous post, see details:

I have a onvif (IP camera) streaming fine to Motioneye, however I would also like to see the live stream on my dashboard.

I have tried a bunch of ways but non of them seem to work, I had the below for tinycam and was trying to replicate with Motioneye with no avail, can you help?

camera:

platform: ‘mjpeg’
name: ‘my camera’
mjpeg_url: ‘https://xxx.duckdns.org.port/mjpeg’

As for now I just want to be able to see the live stream on my dashboard, I have all the Motioneye options turned off (ie. Text overlay, Still images, Movies, Motion detection).

Thanks!

pergola.fabio · September 23, 2020, 8:51pm

somethign wrong with it on 0.10.0 , created issue here

also here

not sure where i needed to post the issue

Wil_Chicato · September 28, 2020, 7:44am

It works for you?

I got this problem.

But when I use the link in VLC it works.
Could you tell me what is the port that you use?

Bradley_Dray · September 30, 2020, 11:14am

is it yet possible to use the onboard camera on a Raspberry Pi 4 running home assistant and the Motioneye add-on?
Thanks

davidtja · October 2, 2020, 2:22pm

I’ve noticed my uploaded internet data grows at the rate of 250mb per hour (I have 6 cameras) I’m not collecting the video or anything else to the best of my knowledge, I have all options except video device off. I believe it is Motioneye that’s responsible and as its eating up my ISP allowance (on LTE) so I will have to turn it off. I am only browsing the cameras internally on the whole, using a internal IP, though I do have a NabuCasa connection.
Any ideas where the data is going?

Lunkobelix · October 9, 2020, 1:34pm

Hi all
I have a couple of questions that is kind of crucial for if I’m going Reolink and motionEye or Unifi Protect. Would really appreciate if I could get some help figuring these out:

Can I use the cameras motion detection so that motionEye is only recording/processing once the camera itself detects motion and starts sending a RTSP stream? This is to reduce the load on my NUC.
Can I via a sensor in Home Assistant toggle recording on/off? I’d like one of the cameras to only record when my alarm is activated.
Can I send motion alerts from Home Assistant based on if motionEye records and then click the notification and get to the live stream?

Thanks.
