Hello, I am a newbie (hence the username).
I would be very grateful for some advice to get my OV5647 camera functioning with Motioneye.
I have installed Motioneye via dietpi-software.
When accessing the ME web server, the camera output is a grey box with ‘Unable to open video device’.
When I use the libcamera-still cmd an image is taken, so I know the camera is functioning.
When plugging the monitor into the rpi zero, a repeated output on the screen is,
“Unicam 3f801000.csi Failed to start media pipe line - 22
wrong width or height 320x200 (remote pad set to 1296x972”
When running ‘libcamera-hello --list-cameras’ Available cameras ----------------- 0 : ov5647 [2592x1944 10-bit GBRG] (/base/soc/i2c0mux/i2c@1/ov5647@36) Modes: ‘SGBRG10\_CSI2P’ : 640x480 [58.92 fps - (16, 0)/2560x1920 crop] 1296x972 [46.34 fps - (0, 0)/2592x1944 crop] 1920x1080 [32.81 fps - (348, 434)/1928x1080 crop] 2592x1944 [15.63 fps - (0, 0)/2592x1944 crop]
I am stumped! Can anyone offer any pointers? I’ve tried searching in various boot files for width or height settings and not seeing anything.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

If you have added the camera correctly to motioneye, it might be the same.
```auto
apt-get -y install libcamera-v4l2 libcamera-tools
sed -i ‘s//usr/local/bin/meyectl//usr/bin/libcamerify /usr/local/bin/meyectl/’ /etc/systemd/system/motioneye.service
```
