No recordings

[theelichtje]

The web interface works, it just won't record any footage.

The webcam itself won't activate either, the led's on it won't light up.
I can get the webcam to work by using VLC, so i know the webcam itself works. Both VLC and RoadApplePi are setup to use /dev/video0, so that in itself is correct.

I also can't seem to find any error logging, even though it mentions setting up syslog in raprec.c.

I did use matt2005's version, at that seems to be updated to work with raspbian buster.

If i run raprec.c using the terminal, i am getting some errors from v4l2, such as:

invalid v4l2 control type encountered
Unknown v4l2 mpeg control id

Altough that might be because the software itself is already running at this point.

I did try a different webcam, that didn't change anything.

Anyone else with the same problem?
