Motion still "sees" two cameras, but the input from one camera is duplicated on both motion cameras. The camera chosen appears to be selected at random when motion starts - sometimes you see camera 1 in both frames and sometimes camera 2 on both, but never both camera 1 & camera 2. Using the web interface to view the loaded configurations for both threads shows that each thread config has the correct camera input selected. > > Motion logs the following errors to /var/log/messages > Jun 26 18:55:46 motion: [1] open video device /dev/bktr0: Device busy > Jun 26 18:55:46 motion: [1] Could not fetch initial image from camera > Jun 26 18:55:46 motion: [1] Motion continues using width and height from config file(s) > > Sometimes, the error is: > Jun 26 18:57:31 motion: [2] Couldn't set the geometry: Device busy Please open a Bug report in Twiki , adding your config files and device specs. > It looks as though the first motion thread is not closing the bktr driver and then the second thread is unable to open it when it's turn comes around. Hummm , if you are using a device with multiple inputs it must not be closed until all input threads exit ... but probably the issue is try to open it when it's already open ... but please follow my request and open a bug report.
