Can anybody tell, if lightswitch_percent refers to the entire image or only to
the part which is not removed by the masks?
Thanks
Rainer

Hi,
I have a problem using 2 identical logitec cameras with motion 3.2
on Centos 6.10.
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 046d:0825 Logitech, Inc. Webcam C270
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 046d:0825 Logitech, Inc. Webcam C270
I have created 2 thread files with the respective 'videodevice'
parameters but only one camera connects, the other giving a grey
image.
Needless to say, both cameras work fine on their own.
Debug level 9 output doesn't appear to help a lot.
'grateful for any suggestions.
motion's output follows.

Hi,
is there an easy way to find out the number of changed pixels, which get
compared against threshold.
I have seen picture_output_motion, but counting the blue pixels in there seems
to me somewhat unneeded reverse engineering ;-)
Thanks
Rainer

Maybe the text_changes option?
