Motion unable to open video device
Question
Motion is unable to open the video device for a RTSP network stream. At one time it worked, but an update from v4l to v4l2 broke motion. I updated motion to the latest trunk and downloaded 3.2.12 separately and compiled the app without v4l support to avoid the v4l error. It still can't access the video device.
