Motioneye not saving videos [solved]

Creating a bug report/issue

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Required Information

  • DietPi version | G_DIETPI_VERSION_RC=2
  • Distro version | bookworm 0
  • Kernel version | uname --all
  • Architecture |armhf
  • SBC model | RPi Zero 2 W (armv7l)
  • Power supply used | (EG: 5V 1A RAVpower)
  • SD card used | (EG: SanDisk ultra)

Additional Information (if applicable)

  • Software title | motioneye
  • Was the software title installed freshly or updated/migrated?
    yes

Expected behaviour

when motion is detected the camera starts recording, then stops recording after say, 20sec. and save fideo file in /mnt/dietpi_userdata/motioneye/Camera1

Actual behaviour

No video file is saved. Pictures are saved though.


  • Fresh installed everything.
    Camera type Local V4L2 Camera
    Camera mmal service 16.1
    No other settings work for the camera

Motioneye version 0.43.1b1
Motion version 4.6.0

Worth noting that the original MotioneyeOS works as expected, I just wanted an upgrade system

Never mind, the default video format was wrong, I changed it to H264(.mp4) and now the files are saved.
