Hi:
I have some understanding of the despeckle filter, but I don't understand
the (l) labeling. It labels an area, but for how long? Is it until motion
is restarted?
If your looking at a shadow from a tree blowing in the wind it moves all
day with the sun, so if the label is permanent my entire back yard would be
labeled until I restart motion.
I don't see anything here about this.

Thanks,
Harlan

i had my share of hiccups starting it and getting it to record, until i
just started using sudo motion and then sudo killall motion to shut it
down. it recorded fine. i had dropbox linked to the record folder. the
config file is the same as it was when it worked, but now it will not work.
motion starts, but will not recors anything, no matter what i do, or how
many times i jump up and down in front of the camera. before it quit
working it only took a bit of movement to record video and stills. now it
wont do anything. i also reinstalled motion in synaptic.
here is the log file in case it has something i dont recognize as the issue.

where it says devices, it indicates it is trying to use the internal webcam
instead of the external one, but why did it revert to that when i
specifically changed it in the config file?
