I think you should analyse the problem in the ways I have suggested first
to get some sort of handle on what is happening.

Subject: [Motion-user] Recorded videos freeze after several seconds

Hello,
I'm using IR motion sensors to turn recording on and off via the motion
API. I've found using these sensors to trigger the recording to be more
reliable than relying on detecting motion from the frames. I'm encountering
an issue where only the first 1-3 seconds of the video I record is actual
video, and then the frame freezes for the remaining duration of the
recording time.
To activate the motion recording, I make the following API calls (using the
python requests library):
# Enable video recording
r = requests.get("http://%s:%s/%s/config/set?ffmpeg_output_movies=%s"; %
(args.host, args.port, camera, state), auth=(args.user, args.password))
# Fake constant motion
r = requests.get("http://%s:%s/%sconfig/set?emulate_motion=%s"; %
(args.host, args.port, camera, state), auth=(args.user, args.password))
And to disable recording when the motion event ends I use the same commands
but with "state" set to "off" rather than "on".
The recorded videos play for however long I have "ffmpeg_output_movies" and
"emulate_motion" set to "on", but only the first 1-3 seconds are actual
live video before the video freezes.
It seems like a bug, but I'm writing in case I'm doing something that
wasn't intended.
Thanks for the help,
Jon

Ok, thanks. I?m pretty new to Pi. I?ll read through the log and see if I can
find anything out. The only thing I saw was something about an error ?that the
drive it was trying to write to was full and if I open it it says 29.2 GB left.?
