The version is quite fresh, however I'd still recommend you to install
the latest 4.2
The error you have referenced indicates a network issue when the
camera goes offline. But after some timeout the connection has to be
closed and restarted. Strange that motion does not do that gracefully
and floods the log. We would need to find a way to reproduce the issue
locally in order to investigate it

I was collecting the log and config files for you when I realized
another difference between this one camera and the others - a custom
wedge that I wrote years ago to handle the pan and tilt for that old
camera.? This is code that runs on the Pi as a mini-server and gives the
camera a JPEG interface, as well as allowing pan and tilt commands when
viewing the video stream. It's been running for years unchanged on
various computers I've used with Motion, which is probably why I forgot
about it being associated with that one camera.
Although this program doesn't have to be restarted when the problem
occurs, I would still suspect it before I would Motion.? I should
probably investigate it before getting you to waste your time chasing
rabbits.? Truthfully, what I should do is deep-six that old camera and
get a modern one.
Thanks anyway!

I just upgraded from Motion 4.1.1 to 4.2.1 and updated my configuration
file with the changes.? Everything seems to work except the
webcontrol_interface 2.? I require the legacy setting because I have
built extensive automation around motion using wget and scripts.
When I use a browser to access port localhost:8080 I am not seeing the
thumbnail images from my four cameras but can click through to
detection, actions, and etc.? Any idea what I missed?
Config file: (I have not cleaned up the comments in a long time and will
probably delete them. The four cameras and in config files of their own)
