I'm running:
motionEye Version 0.43.1b2
Motion Version 4.6.0
OS Version Ubuntu 24.04

and everything works fine for me. However I have an idea which I currently realize via a workaround:
Under "Still Images" - "Capture mode" you can pick "Motion Triggered (One Picture)" - which is "picture_output best" in the camera/motion configuration or "Motion Triggered" which results in one picture per frame. Both options are not ideal for me: "One Picture" most of the time does not pick the best picture of the event while all frames during an event are way too much.
My workaround is that I have a script running which currently takes every 500 ms a picture during an active event:
Under "Motion Notification" I call a web hook when motion has started to tell the script to call a web hook every 500ms back in motioneye to take a snapshot (http://motioneye-IP:webcontrol_port/1/action/snapshot). Once motion stops, I call a web hook again to stop the cyclic snapshots.
It would be nice to have that functionality integrated in motioneye: "Still Images" - "Capture mode" - "Cycle Triggered (Interval)" and then you can enter an interval in milliseconds from e.g. 50ms to 5000ms or so.
