Recently I have bought an RaspBerry Pi Model B+ with a camera module and a Wi-Fi USB. It's all working pretty fine and no problems untill now.
I'm using GStreamer to stream my video. But I also have a PIR motion sensor module to track motion.. (the line i execute for Gstreamer to work: raspivid -t 999999 -h 720 -w 1080 -fps 25 -hf -b 2000000 -o - | gst-launch-1.0 -v fdsrc ! h264parse ! rtph264pay config-interval=1 pt=96 ! gdppay ! tcpserversink host=192.168.178.31 port=5000 &.
When there is motion I want to capture it using the camera. I have written a python script that does this job.
The problem is that when I run GStreamer and I try to run the python script at the same time the python script crashes with the following error:
pi@raspberrypi /cctv $ sudo ./detectMotion.py
mmal: mmal_vc_component_enable: failed to enable component: ENOSPC
Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm running my RPi with Raspbian (Linux raspberrypi 3.12.28+ #709 PREEMPT Mon Sep 8 15:28:00 BST 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux)
