Hello,
I want to use the camera with Raspbian and record the stream with raspivid and use Motion (KennethLavrsen/MrDave) simultaneously?
regards

Re: Using the Camera in two Apps simultaneously?
You can't. Almost all cameras only support a single client at a time, and that includes the Pi camera.
I thought motion could record the stream anyway even when there wasn't motion. I'd investigate that route.

Hello,
maybe is there a software with input Rpi-Cam and output 2 virtual video device or raspivid record a file and pipe the frames forward to motion?
Motion can pipe the raw Video to stdin, can raspivid record from stdin?
