I doubt that would be possible, as the mmal interface is already in use by the v4l2 module.

What a fast response lol thank you! Perhaps a feature request to alow you to take still images from the gui is in order? :) On a side note, is there any way I can contribute back to this project? Be it something small like a man page or documentation, or debugging, testing, etc?
from motioneye.
Yes, the feature has already been proposed (I'm not sure if there's an actual issue about it, but I remember users asking for taking snapshots from the UI).
Well since you mentioned the key word "documentation" (:P), motionEye could really use some reference material when it comes to the settings panel. If you could take each available setting from the settings panel, per section, and document it (possibly linking to the corresponding motion config option, it would be great.
As soon as I have some content regarding this matter, I could turn it into a settings wiki page.

Sound good. I'll spend some time and see what I can provide you. Where should I send the resulting info and in what format?
from motioneye.
You can send it directly to me (ccrisan around gmail) in whatever format you want. I will convert it to markdown then.

fyi - sent some items via email. holler if I can improve them or update them for you.

Hi, let me chip in.
I am running a remote doorbell with my Pi 1 and planning to run MotionEye alongside. I have just thought of a workaround... I can script, that when the button on the bell gets pressed it shuts the MotionEye down, rings the bell, takes photo and restart the MotionEye.
Maybe that can help... Once I have MotionEye up and running I will report back with more details.

I had a similar problem, as I was running my Doorbell script which was taking a static photo when Doorbell was pressed, but when stream was running I could not use the camera. I sorted it out writing a simple script, for you could be a bit different but that should help:
sudo nano raspistill.sh
add:
#!/bin/sh
d=date +%d-%m-%y
t=date +%T
systemctl stop motioneye.service
raspistill -o $t$d.jpg -w 1024 -h 768 -q 30 -hf
sleep 15
systemctl start motioneye.service
exit
sudo chmod a+x raspistill.sh
That will shut the motioneye service for 15 seconds, takes photo and restarts the service.
You can obviously modify it to your needs.
If you need something more advanced let me know.

There is another way of achieving that by either using https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback or https://github.com/mpromonet/v4l2tools unfortunately the 1st one does not seem to be working with any 4.x kernel and the 2nd one does not create another device with my camera module. You can however test it and see if it works, that way you will have 2 separate camera streams with 1 camera allowing you to take photos and record/stream at the same time.

Btw, raspistill
is deprecated, but still available when using the legacy RPi firmware video stack. When using KMS (default on Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye), instead the new libcamera based apps can be used, like libcamera-still
or libcamera-jpeg
: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/accessories/camera.html
I doubt that it changes something on the fact that one cannot use the same camera device from console while it is used by motionEye/motion already, but at least worth to give it a try.
