I'm stuck on Step 13. Find your internal IP address on the Pi screen. The attached shows what's on the screen. Any suggestions? TIA

I see it's been a while since you posted this question which is rather unfortunate.
I'm exploring this, so if I can answer your question at a later time as I get into this, I'll be happy to help you.

dear all. we try to capture raw pictures with motioneye. therefor we wrote a script that works in the terminal but not when it is triggered by motioneeye. any suggestions. could it be done within the motioneye software itself?

from picamera2 import Picamera2, Preview
from libcamera import controls
import subprocess
import time
from datetime import datetime
from datetime import date

subprocess.run(["sudo", "systemctl", "stop", "motioneye"])

time.sleep(1)
print("now")

dt = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-00Z")
date= date.today()
print(str(dt))

picam2 = Picamera2()
camera_config = picam2.create_still_configuration(main={"size": (1920, 1080)}, lores={"size": (640, 480)}, display="lores")
picam2.configure(camera_config)
picam2.start_preview(Preview.NULL)
picam2.start()
picam2.set_controls({"AfMode": controls.AfModeEnum.Auto})

time.sleep(1)
picam2.capture_file("/home/pi/Desktop/cam1/"+str(date)+"/"+str(dt)+".jpg")

time.sleep(1)
subprocess.run(["sudo", "systemctl", "start", "motioneye"])
quit()

I have tried all to allow for ftp access but still have error 550 Requested action not taken. File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).
It works with other cams on same ftp address and location on the server.
What could still be wrong?

Hi all,
I have tricky problem
I downloaded the correct platform 20201026 image and after uploading it to SD, my RPIs does not boot. Led Error reports "kernel.img not found". It's on the SD card! I tried everything. Different RPi, different SD card, differet different img (older 2020XXXXimg), recording SW, turn off antivirus on the home machine.... Another raspi OS img boots normally.
Thanks for ideas.

HW RPi3B+ and RPi3A+ (all original)
SD Sandisk
RPi Imager 1.8.5 + Rufus 4.15
