Cannot use Pi camera for this module, but followed the documentation

[Jochbart]

I changed the module file, but I get an error now when rebooting the pi:

Please help.

Sorry, cant help you directly since I dont own a pi camera. But what does your output say when running
"systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service"
as mentioned in the error log above?

Looks like you got a typo there: you wrote v412 but it should be v4l2

Hi rejas,

sorry, my bad, you were right. The rebooting is working now, but still get an error in MM:

[rejas]

Can confirm that happens on a fresh installation of raspi OS starting with their latest releases. You need to enable the legacy camera support in the raspi-config tool.

I updated the README accordingly. Can you confirm that it solves your problem?

Hi rejas,
I did it, but same error.

Same here

Hi guys, just found out that there is now a "legacy" raspberry os, which uses the old debian. Maybe you can check this out? https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/#raspberry-pi-os-legacy

Looks like there is an issue with PiCamera in Chromium since 89.0.4389.128
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69300651/electron-rpi-requested-device-not-found-camera

The current version of MagicMirror (v2.18.0) uses Electron 16.0.5 that uses Chromium 96.0.4664.55
That said, for now the supported version of MagicMirror for this module using PiCamera is MagicMirror v2.16.0 (Electron 11.4.9 / Chromium 87.0.4280.141)

Alternativelly you can run the current version (v2.18.0) on "server mode" and downgrade your OS Chromium to < 89.0.4389.128 and run the client from there.

Is this broken ? Or does it work with latest version of MM ? Using PI 4 with PI camera.

Its working for me with latest version of MM when using my PS3 camera.

I dont have the time at the moment to test it with the latest raspiOS release (the underlying operating system) and a PI camera. Any help would be appreciated.
