Hi Colin
That's right. I don't know where that setting would be. I have a
prerecording phase on every event, but afaik this is only for
motion-detection.

You can change the filenames in the target directories
section of motion.conf. Remove the %v- from the start of
the filenames. That is what I do. Then every video is in
time order always, even when motion is restarted.

Hello.
Is it possible somehow to force:
/dev/video0 always for USB cam:
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 041e:4052 Creative Technology, Ltd Live! Cam Vista IM
/dev/video1 always for USB cam:
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 041e:4069 Creative Technology, Ltd
How to prevent rondom X for /dev/vidX (a few USB webcams) after system
bacames restarted?
Is it possible to connect a few cameras the same type, e. g.
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 041e:4069 Creative Technology, Ltd
and keep proper association video0 / video1 / video2 for USB cam1 / USB
cam2 / USB cam3 ?
Thank you for any hints.
Best regards
Mariusz

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
Hello,
I'm trying to set up motion with a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 connected
to a Raspberry PI. It sort of works but not properly so I'd appreciate
some pointers.
The Pi has raspberrypi 3.2.27+ #250 PREEMPT
motion is Version 3.2.12
I'm sshed to the pi; there's no display on it. I have motion set up as a
service started on boot.
I have two issues that I'd like to resolve:
(1) motion happily captures video when there is motion and records an
avi file and a bunch of jpegs. But it only does this if I leave the
width and height at their default. If I set 1280 x 720 or 1920 x
1080 resolution, nothing gets captured.
I have tried running cheese and that is able to show high-resolution
video, so I know its not a hardware problem. There's a lot of stuff
in /var/log/messages but I don't understand it:

I'm not too concerned about this issue because it's not something I
intend to use once it all works.

This is most likely going to come down to rules for udev. You can see some
example rules here:

All my USB cameras are visible as /dev/vidX (not as HDD like it was
mentalne in linked article).
