Hi caroline,
Can you please explain how?
regards
Hans
I run Hassos 5.6 on a Rasp 4 with ssd.
Can anyone help, I canāt find the configuration path, I only see /share/motioneye, but no files, only empty dirs (Camer1, Camera2, etc.). I need to restore my configuration but donāt know how.
Thanks
I noticed today that my motion eye general settings dropdown is missing. Checking the log file no issues seem to show up and i have reset the addon with no changes. Here is what i am seeing. How can i get the general settings back to add more cameras.
Iām not that familiar with it but what your seeing is what I get on the mobile platform. I assuming your looking on a PC/Mac?
The screenshot circled in red is the general settings I am needing to re-appear to make changes from my computer. I am unsure why it would be gone. My currently configured cameras still work.
I have a camera with a different resolution, which MotionEye does not recognize. It is only on the gray screen, and after about 10 seconds, it recharges all cameras. The camera resolution is: 2304x1296 or 640x352.
I have other cameras of the same brand and that use the same URL (with another IP), but with standard resolutions and I have no problems.
In VLC and BlueIris these resolutions normally work.
My installation is via HA add-on.
Does anyone know how to solve?
Could it be because you are not logged in as admin?

Thank you Frits!. In logged out and then back in as Admin and all settings were back. Not sure how that would have changed but definitely did not think to check if the account was logged in as admin.

Hello team,

Has anyone an idea?
Any more info you are able to give? What is the connection method? An IP cam? A USB device?
Hi guys. Can anybody give me an advice about blank page?
Iām using supervised HA, kubuntu 18 with regular docker.
As I can see itās container started in host network, and probably with 80 port for web ui. Maybe thatās the problem? Iām pretty sure that 80 port is busy on my host machine.
What are you seeing for configuration settings and the log file? Below are settings for me that are working.
I see the same config. I tried ssl enable \ disable - doesnāt help
What version of Motioneye are you running and can you post the log file that is generated when motion eye starts? Im not sure how you would tell port 80 is busy as no ports were changed on my network to get this functioning.
You didnāt specified what the OS you using. I think it depends.

Hi, did you find out if it is possible? I canāt make the onboard camera work on RPI 4. I get the āUnable to start deviceā error using Pi Noir V2 camera.
there were some discussions above on how to access saved video and it looks like motionEye map there directories by default.
"Mounts": [
{
"Type": "bind",
"Source": "/usr/share/hassio/addons/data/a0d7b954_motioneye",
"Destination": "/data",
"Mode": "rw",
"RW": true,
"Propagation": "rprivate"
},
{
"Type": "bind",
"Source": "/usr/share/hassio/ssl",
"Destination": "/ssl",
"Mode": "ro",
"RW": false,
"Propagation": "rprivate"
},
{
"Type": "bind",
"Source": "/usr/share/hassio/share",
"Destination": "/share",
"Mode": "rw",
"RW": true,
"Propagation": "rprivate"
},
{
"Type": "bind",
"Source": "/usr/share/hassio/media",
"Destination": "/media",
"Mode": "rw",
"RW": true,
"Propagation": "rprivate"
}
]
If motionEye to work as NVR then we will need a dedicated drive (say 2TB drive) to store the videos. But the problem is that, all the predefined mapped directories are pointing to /usr/share/hassio/* and we should have larger volume for /usr/share in order it to work. I couldnāt find a workaround as softlinks doesnāt work with docker.
As I dig further, it looks like config.json file defined all the mapped directories and if itās possible for us to map these during container startup time in the Supervisor then we can map our own volume.
Is this possible. Any help on this subject highly appreciated.
Hi @frenck and @all,
Iām trying to refine motion parameters on my setup. Reading through official documentation of MotionEye, I came to see this:
Use the -s (setup mode) command line option and/or the text_changes config file option to experiment to find the right threshold value. If you do not get small movements detected (see the mouse on the kitchen floor) lower the value. If motion detects too many birds or moving trees, increase the number. (Unless of course you are one of the many many users who use Motion to bird watch!) Practical values would be from a few hundred to thousands.
Anybody knows how to run command line commands if motioneye has been installed as an add-on?
thanks!
Iāve set up MotionEye to do what I set out to do, and it seems to be working well. My only āissueā is that that I attempt to set up HA and itās alarm system to run without constant interaction and monitoring. In order to do that I have error handling and warnings/alerts on possible issues. I can however not find a way to get an alert if a video feed fail. MotionEye has the data as it seems to throw error messages on top of video when video is failing. Examples: āunable to open video deviceā or āconnection to camera lostā. This information doesnāt seem to be logged or available from HA? Can I retrieve it with a REST command or something similar? Perhaps configure MotionEye to trigger webhooks at error? Probably an obvious solution I missed somewhereā¦? Added ping sensors for the cameras, but that only cover a fraction of possible issues.
(Iāve been searching the web and scrolling through the last ~150 posts here without finding anything about error-handling.)
