Hello, I want to be able to tweet pictures that are detected using motion
and was hoping there was a way I could do this? Where are the motion files
stored on my raspberry pi to do this and what are they written in?
Many thanks,
Jody

I have motion version 4.0 running on Debian 9 (stretch, stable). Motion
detection works as expected. FFMPEG version is 3.2.10.
The problem I am having is that the video will "freeze" a few seconds after
starting to record. After about 15 seconds the video will skip forward and
proceed normally.
framerate 13
pre_capture 3
post_capture 6
event_gap 60
ffmpeg_output_movies on
ffmpeg_bps 160000
ffmpeg_video_codec mp4
My computer has 12 GB of ram and 4x Intel Core i5-4440 running at 3.1Ghz.
The video camera is a Dericam set at 15 FPS and 2080 kbps
I have tried mkv and hevc, both have the same behavior as mp4.
I have read that setting pre_capture too high will cause the problem I am
having, but even if I set it to 0 I still get the freeze problem.
With pre_capture set to 0, my motion log has a line that says:
"image_ring_resize: Resizing pre_capture buffer to 2 items"
Can anyone suggest how to get the video to record without stalling,
freezing or skipping?
Thanks,
Terry
