Jack,
Thanks for your reply. I have been using Motion on this Pi for over a year. It
is set up as a CCTV on the front of our house.
I bought another sd card yesterday and installed motion from"
https://jarlowrey.com/blog/rpi-with-motion.html"; today
Same problem.
Eventually found that the cable video cable is faulty
I now have a spare pi setup sd.
Incidentally I have to have Daemon turned off in the conf file.
My original Motion set up was using
"http://www.joakimlahtinen.se/2016/installing-motion-on-raspberry-pi-2-jessie/";
which still works fine since I changed the video cable.
Best Regards
David Bate

Subject: [Motion-user] unable to start motion after it worked for many weeks
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?
