Motion + Bookworm 64 + Raspberry Pi5

[Tr14rk]

Hello,

I'm new to Motion.
My hardware and software:
Raspberry Pi5 Bookworm 64 bit + Camera Module 3
Libcamera installed and working (libcamera-vid records well...).

I installed Bookworm 4.6.0-1 version for arm64: https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/releases/download/release-4.6.0/bookworm_motion_4.6.0-1_arm64.deb

According to the v4l2-ctl documentation it is necessary to start Motion with:
libcamerify motion
The web server starts fine, but it doesn't show the camera...and it gives me this error:
libcamerify motion
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libcamera/v4l2-compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

[0:motion] [NTC] [ALL] motion_startup: Using log type (ALL) log level (NTC)
[0:motion] [NTC] [ALL] become_daemon: Motion going to daemon mode

I checked Motion read and write permissions: Ok

I observed this:

1. If I "assign" manually with:
   sudo v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=YUYV

2. I run libcamerify motion (nothing is seen on the web server)

3. and I execute v4l2-ctl --all, it always changes the pixel to 'GREY'

The most important thing is that I don't see any stream from camera module 3 on the server!

Here the commands, results and the log:

Another comment is that v4l2-compat.so is not present on the device, despite having reinstalled libcamera-utils:

is this file necessary? It is normal?

Does anyone have this problem?

How could they solve it?

I need help please!

[untrium]

Yes, I also have this problem. I have never succeeded in getting anything more than a grey rectangle from my Camera 3. I am using a Pi3 but the OS is a fresh install and I am using the latest download from the Motion Project repo. If I find a solution I'll post it here.

[Mr-Dave]

The latest versions have been tested to work with both libcamerify (Motion 4.7 and prior) as well as with libcamera(Motion 5.0). The message

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libcamera/v4l2-compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

means that the required libraries for libcamera have not been installed. The package that includes libcamerify has changed over the years so you can try to install the following and see if it resolves the issue.

sudo apt install libcamera-tools libcamera-dev libcamera-v4l2

Sure would be great if there was a step by step install guide. If there is one, I can't find it. And I have exactly the problem the other posters in this thread have. Libcamera sees the camera. Motion doesn't.
