It is my imagination that when you quit all cameras the motion program
stops as well in 4.2.1.? It seems to me that in 4.1.1 I could quit all
cameras and motion would still run.
You might ask what good is motion if all cameras are stopped (i.e.,
quit)?? I have 4 cameras, 3 of which are for motion detection, and the
fourth is for timelapse.? I quit the timelapse camera every night at
dark since its infrared capability is being reflected by the window it
is against and of no use.? I have scripts that stop the three motion
detection cameras when they are paused.? The main goal of all of this is
to reduce cpu utilization when functionality is not required.
So, am I imagining that Motion 4.1.1 would continue to run when all
cameras are stopped ( i.e., action/quit)?? Is it also true that in
Motion 4.2.1 the program will end when all cameras are stopped?
Note that I am starting motion in /etc/rc.local as follows:
/usr/bin/motion -b -m -c /etc/motion/motion.conf
P.S. This Pi runs Motion, Pihole, and is the gateway for all of my home
automation devices.

To my knowledge, this operates the same for webcontrol_interface 1
There was a request (completed in 4.2) to remove the quit option when
using webcontrol_interface 0 .? Since there will probably be a 4.2.2,
you can make a request to add it back or handle requests differently to
the main config(see below)
With respect to quitting Motion or just one camera, it depends upon how
the command is issued.? The format is
{IP}:{port}/{camid}/action/quit
If the camid is the one for the main config file (usually unspecified
and therefore 0) then it quits the entire program.? If it is issued to a
particular camera (via the camera_id parameter or thread number if
unspecified), it only quits that camera and you can issue a restart to
get it back up.

Hi All,
I installed and configure motion successfully and live stream can
successfully coming on Linux machine (Firefox & Chrome).
When I accessed the live stream from a windows 10 machine, it works fine
with Firefox and Chrome browser but whenever I want to access live stream
using Edge or IE it starts downloading instead of playing video.
Can anyone please let me know is this is the default behavior with Edge/IE
browser or there is a way I can access live stream on Edge/IE?
Any help would be helpfull.
Thanks,
Ankit

Unfortunately, Edge and IE don't support direct MJPEG view.
For Edge there is a workaround. Create the following HTML file and
open it in Edge:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<img src="http://motion:8081/0/stream";>
</body>
</html>
You can also search for the most recent solution on the web:
