Camera model
Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 + Raspi cam attached with the ribbon cable
What is the problem?
Can't get the pi cam running along the usb webcam. Using the files from here i get the warning device or resource busy:

What did you already try to solve it?
Using the guide above, changed video0 to video2. Checked who is potentially using that device:
pi@octopi:~/scripts $ sudo fuser /dev/video0
/dev/video0: 490m
pi@octopi:~/scripts $ ps -p 490

All of the above is voodoo to me for the most part. What i do not understand is why there is no log, why v4l2-ctl lists so many devices, whereas in the guide there are only 4. If i interpret it correctly my usb cam gets picked as default (as detailed in octopi.txt) but for some reason I have trouble identifying the video device and just guessing and entering those in the webcamDaemon2 file does not lead anywhere
