Has any one setup a MotionEye server to feed to PrusaConnect?  

RE: Has any one setup a MotionEye server to feed to PrusaConnect?

I wrote https://nvtkaszpir.github.io/prusa-connect-camera-script/ which can be used with various streaming options, I'll add details how to make it work with motioneye, probably using ffmpeg.

Thank you, I'll add that to my project list.

ok I've added sections for MotionEye, https://nvtkaszpir.github.io/prusa-connect-camera-script/config.for.camera.motioneye/
Tested on my Rpi4 (took more time to set the motioneye on new os due to libcamerify), snapshot is the easies to do it.

Thank you for your effort.  I'll try to get to this soon.  It will take a while for my 77-year-old brain to sort all this out.

I'm using the latest(but very old) MotionEye OS .img file - how did you use new OS and install motioneye?

Just asking I don't want to break my setup running the script - I'll use a different SD card and try with the new OS if you can tell me how to get motion eye running on the new OS

RE:

I used official raspberry os system (Debian 12 Bookworm) on Rpi 4, then followed motioneye github docs how to install it - such as adding fhanges to pip config systemwide which would break other packages, then install motioneye via pip, and so on. Also AFAIR i had to fix pip config because it ended in having duplicated lines 😉

But it was still lacking, thankfully not much change was required. I just needed to  change systemd exec command so it starts with libcamerify. More details are already on github issues or libcamerify docs.

So the systemd service is now

ExecStart=/usr/bin/libcamerify /usr/local/bin/meyectl startserver -c /etc/motioneye/motioneye.conf
