I'm trying to experiment with "Motion" using a usb webcam but the program says the device isn't available though I think it should be as far as I can tell:
[0] Processing thread 0 - config file /etc/motion/motion.conf
[0] Motion 3.2.9 Started
[0] ffmpeg LIBAVCODEC_BUILD 3352064 LIBAVFORMAT_BUILD 3344896
[0] Thread 1 is from /etc/motion/motion.conf
[1] Thread 1 started
[1] Failed to open video device /dev/video0: Device or resource busy
[1] Capture error calling vid_start
[1] Thread finishing...
Anyone with experience know what might be up? (cameras is an older one; blue light on cam is on) "Cheese" also doesn't see the camera.
thanks
