Subject: [Motion-user] Using motion with AVFoundation
Message-ID: <0c70f10c-49db-4c08-8400-0c4549612...@chalmers.se>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Hello!
I?d like to use motion on macOS. I have only managed to access the onboard
camera using AVFoundation (I?m new to video). As far as I can see, motion
cannot handle this framework. Searching the mailing list archive for
avfoundation did not yield a match.
I've been trying to stream the video to localhost with ffmeg and then grab the
stream with motion, but without success. I can, for example, stream the camera
signal with
ffmpeg -f avfoundation -framerate 30 -pixel_format uyvy422 -i "0" -f mjpeg
udp://127.0.0.1:1234
and then watch it with
ffplay udp://127.0.0.1:1234
I?d think that my parameter choice is bad as there are several seconds of
latency, but I guess that I can figure this out myself.
My question is now: how can I pipe such as stream into motion? I can guess that
I need a different format but haven't figured out a way that works.
Thanks!
Jens

Where did you get 4.2.1 from?
What exact database are you using?
I found (I think it?s listed as a bug on github) that if you download source
and build it, on an RPi you probably don?t have database support. There?s no
errors; SQL statements just do ... nothing.
My workaround was to create a Ubunto VM, download MySQL from Oracle, and run
the configure stuff; then take the generated include and config files and copy
them over to the Pi, then build the pi app.
Now I have the latest and greatest and MySQL support.
The exact same sql statements that worked with ?apt-get motion? now work with
the newest motion.
This may not be your issue, but I thought it might help if it were!

The typo was it! I removed "value" and files are saving.
Thank you!
Not saving to the database yet though.
Conf for mysql:
95 #setup_mode off
96 sql_log_snapshot on
97 sql_log_picture on
98 sql_log_movie off
99 database_type mysql
100 database_dbname security
101 database_host localhost
102 database_port 3306
103 database_user xxxx
104 database_password xxxx
105
106 sql_query insert into security(camera, filename, frame, file_type,
time_stamp, text_event) values('%t', '%f', '%q', '%n', '% Y-%m-%d %T',
'%C')
sql_query is the same as before. No records appearing yet. I must have
missed a step?
