Description

Hello Im running motioneye 0.42.1 with motion 4.3.1 on Raspbian 10 buster on Raspberry Pi 3 model b. I record video on motion triggered in H264/OMX and since a few days I got the error « Media format unsupported or otherwise unavilable/unsuitable for playing. » ( Btw there is a misspelling on the word « unavailable ») when I read it through the web (192.168.1.x:8765)

I also upload my files on a Google Drive and videos on my drive are working correctly, same as read locally and when I download them

So where did the error come from ?

Thanks !

Check the web interface's media player configuration and inspect browser console for errors. Verify if the video format is supported by the browser and ensure correct MIME types are set. Also, look at the error message spelling issue and see if it's related to a specific code path.
