I use Raspberry Pi's but with USB cameras so this is guesswork. First
thing that popped out with the 0.0.0.0 IP address; seems like it should
be the local address (192. ...)
My second suggestion? is more of a caution.? I tend to write my notes in
a (temporary) text document so use copy and paste.? I've found the
punctuation doesn't always copy correctly, most common being the double
hyphens will convert to a single long hyphen. I've also come across
where a space character at the end of a command will invalidate:
3000space is not the same as 3000.
Hope this helps point to fixing your problem -- Motion is a great utility!

Hi Barry,
Many thanks for those suggestions. The 0.0.0.0 means all interfaces, but yes
I could use the actual IP address of the box. However, the fact that I can
see the stream from another machine mans that it is sending it to the correct
IP address. On your other point, I also have experienced this ? especially
when using Microsoft Word ? for example it replaces the ?dash? character with
?smart dash? which is different and the command fails. However in this case I
typed the commend directly into the terminal so I can rule this particular
issue out.
Thanks,
spindles7
Hi spindels7!
Have got a Raspberry Pi with the RPi Camera V.2 which I have just installed
RaspberryPi OS Bullseye from an image. Trying to use the built-in libcamera-vid
command to stream the video to another machine (running Debian Bookworm and
Motion 4.5.1). I can view the stream using VLC on my Windows machine with the
string:
tcp/h264://192.168.2.254:3000
where 192.168.2.254 is the IP address of the Raspberry Pi and 3000 is the port
specified in the libcamera-vid command which is:
libcamera-vid -t 0 --inline --listen -o tcp://0.0.0.0:3000
Have tried various netcam_url settings, but none of the will work. Anybody any
clues as to what the correct settings in motion.conf could be to allow the
stream to be captured coirrectly?

Thanks for the information.? Here's another WAG based on my USB cameras:
try prefacing with "http://"; -- I think most utilities are automatically
using "https://";? (no quotes, of course!).
As you're able to view on another machine this probably won't help but
will mention anyway: my configurations use camera numbers and this
number needs to be added to the end: "http://192.168.4.221:8081/1";.?
That '/1' is derived from the configuration file:
??? # Numeric identifier for the camera.
??? camera_id 1

OK -- hope someone else replies so you can get a better suggestion. :)
