Why not find out what the process is identified as
ps ax | grep motion
see what that returns ????
you should see something like:-
odroid@odroid:~$ ps ax | grep motion
1130 ? Sl 178:24 /usr/bin/motion
14506 pts/2 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto motion
you might just find that it could be motion-root , I have seen that when motion
is started as root
Then what ever process grep finds kill that
If you are using multiple instances of motion you will have to kill each
process by what ever name
grep returns
Post the results of
ps ax | grep motion

You can set it where ever you like. Experiment with it till you get what
you want.

Hi,
I'm wondering if somebody ever solved this problem:
http://sourceforge.net/p/motion/mailman/message/33092120/
I'm also having a zmodo camera, specically type ZP-IBH13-W.
I've tried avplay, and it indeed simply stops playing after a while. vlc seems
to do a better job, but is still very bad. The activeX plugin that the zmodo
provides keeps on working just fine, but i can't really find out what type of
stream that is.
I'm currenly using MrDave's pre-build version for raspberry, but since vlc or
avplay are having issues - i guess which version i'm using is not important.
The idea of using vlc and reusing the stream is something i haven't tried,
mainly because i don't fully understand that idea :)
regards,
Ruben

Hello.
I decided to ask you, how it works in real.
I think motion always use CPU at level close to 100% because it treats many
frames per second as the processor can do. It means slower CPU process less
frames per second, higher CPU process more frames per second but both of
them use close to 100% CPU. Isn't it?
If yes how can I decrease CPU usage in the best way (without large losses
for monitoring system purposes) ?
Best regards
Mariusz

For any reasonable frame rate motion should not use all your
CPU. At 5 frames/sec from a low-resolution web camera motion
uses about 1.5% of my Core 2 Duo's CPU. An older laptop of
mine watches two cameras, one with high resolution. That
takes about 12% of CPU.
If you decrease the frame rate, the CPU usage should
decrease. But as noted above, motion is very efficient
computational-wise, using the SIMD instructions on your CPU.

The two ways to consider first are to reduce the size of the incoming
image if possible and to slow down the motion frame rate (which can be
set in the motion conf file).
