xorinzor Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) 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, 2019 by xorinzor Quote Link to comment
Wisnaeme Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment

phyzical Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) 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, 2022 by phyzical Quote Link to comment
