Sorry, auto correct in email program...
Need to run meyectl with python 2, not python 3. Either change the default
or the startup command.

[diazovitch]

Sorry I’m noob.
what should i do as a request?

[starbasessd]

What is your base OS? Raspberry Pi OS? or something else?

[diazovitch]

I'm on raspbian buster on rpi3b+

[starbasessd]

Give me a bit, I'll get you the change.

[starbasessd]

Which install instructions did you use for motioneye?

This tuto : https://trevilly.com/installation-de-motioneye-sur-raspbian-buster-videosurveillance/

[starbasessd]

Re-install over the top of the existing by using the instructions here:
https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye/wiki/Install-On-Raspbian
then re-boot and connect to the motioneye at http://ip_address_of_the_pi:8765
and let me know.

[starbasessd]

Did you change to SuperUser by running sudo su first?
Did you do a copy/paste? If you do, you need to do each line separately.

[diazovitch]

Yes, i do each line separately ! It's ok now.
But when i do this command :

sudo pip install motioneye

I have this message below. Is it serious doctor ?

[starbasessd]

Try this:
sudo pip2 install motioneye
I just built a RaspberryPiOS (buster), fully updated, and ran the instructions for installing from the github wiki, and it started up normally and I did not get that warning.

[diazovitch]

It's the same thing.

[starbasessd]

Now, when I run the command:
python --version
I get: Python 2.7.15

[diazovitch]

My python version is 3.7.3

I need this version for domoticz.

[starbasessd]

Run the following commands:
ls -la /usr/bin/python*

[diazovitch]

[starbasessd]

Run:
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/meyectl

change line:

!/usr/bin/python

to

!/usr/bin/python2

[ctrl] x y [enter]
then run the commands
sudo systemctl start motioneye
sudo systemctl status motioneye

[diazovitch]

In this file, there had :

!/usr/bin/python3

and i change to

!/usr/bin/python2

but same results :

[starbasessd]

It's saying the motioneye.meyectl module didn't install.
Run the following command:
sudo pip2 --version

[diazovitch]

[starbasessd]

Ok, pip2 isn't installed and it's using pip3 instead.
Run the following:
sudo curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py
sudo python2 get-pip.py
then run:
sudo pip2 --version

[diazovitch]

pip 20.3.4 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip (python 2.7)

[starbasessd]

run the commands
sudo systemctl start motioneye
sudo systemctl status motioneye

[diazovitch]

Always the same error.
Maybe i have to reinstall ?

[starbasessd]

OOps, may have forgotten:
sudo pip2 install motioneye

[diazovitch]

I have this :

[starbasessd]

Ignore the update message

[diazovitch]

You win 🥇 !

[starbasessd]

Blame domoticz, it doesn't play nicely with apps needing python2.7

[diazovitch]

It is not planned to provide an motion eye that works in python3 ? It's the future, no ?

[starbasessd]

Yes, it's coming, but there are quite a few apps that were written in 2.7 that are still used. If you didn't notice, although they (Python 2.7 authors) wanted to end support back in 2008, announcing a sunset date of 2015. 6 years after 'sunset' they finally End Of Life'd it, no more updates. 2008 to 2021. 13 years, and people are still using python 2.7. Better than Windows.

[starbasessd]

Probably should either hope for better backward compatibility for 4.0, or start building for 4.0 [grinning]

[diazovitch]

Thank you for taking the time to resolve my issue. I could never have done it alone. Thank you from France.

[starbasessd]

If you are happy, please close.
