April 9, 20197 yr Hi, I've installed the MotionEye Docker container and attached the USB webcam to it via the extra parameters via: --device=/dev/bus/usb/002/004 which shows up fine in the container. But MotionEye fails to detect it as a webcam. I've read around that a usb webcam is supposed to show up as an /dev/video* device, but it doesn't for me. Is there any way to get this working without using a VM? "lsusb" shows: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 046d:0823 Logitech, Inc. It's a Logitech C920 (I think). And it works totally fine on my Windows Desktop, so I can confirm it's not broken. Edited April 9, 20197 yr by xorinzor
September 8, 20196 yr I just tried the exact same with the same result. Not sure of a work around but it would be good to have Unraid capable of recording from this camera.
February 23, 20224 yr hey guys, just thought i would mention i solved this by installing the `DVB drivers` community app. once its rebooted if your usb webcam is supported it will appear as `/dev/video0` passing that through fixes the issue Edited February 23, 20224 yr by phyzical

This worked for me in ZoneMinder docker container.
