MMAL camera - An error occured. Refreshing is recommended.

[martinbohumel]

I have a problem adding my Camera module in Motioneye.
When I try to add a local MMAL camera, I get an error message saying
"An error occured. Refreshing is recommended."

My setup is:

• PI 4, 8GB
• latest Bullseye OS 32bit with desktop
• Camera module v3
• Motioneye installed according to the instructions at https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye/wiki/Install-on-Raspbian-Bullseye

The camera module is connected correctly and working with "libcamera-hello" command, but I can't seem to be able to hook it up together with Motioneye. When I connect a regular USB camera to Motioneye, that one works fine however.

Does anyone have an advice for a beginner like me on how to fix it?

same issue, but on 64 bit OS

Libcamera support is still "under construction", and that applies to the yet unreleased ME 0.43 with Python3 support, @SpongeBob-RoundPants the instructions you refer are for the old Python2 version. Installation instructions for Python3 version are here: https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye/tree/dev#installation
Libcamera support has been discussed here: #2425 (and here: #2683)

As far as I've understood things correctly, there are some workarounds mentioned in #2683, but no complete solution yet. There is a PR (#2765) linked to the other issue and it is waiting for testing, with some instructions on how that could be done (but I admit they might not be good instructions in case one is not that tech-savvy).
