No, not that I can recall.

Equally for my personal curiosity and troubleshooting: is there anything
interesting happening in the kernel log at/after the time of the timeout?

Hello,
I'd like to build a camera for a birdhouse that does the following:
- Store high resolution movies of motion events (1280x960 25fps)
- Stream to Youtube at 1280x960 25fps
It'll run on a Raspberry Pi 3A+. I'm testing on a Raspberry Pi 3B+
with motion 4.3.1.
I thought of using gstreamer to split the camera stream to Youtube and
to motion.
After many trials I came up with the following pipeline. The idea is
to produce 3 outputs:
- stream to Youtube with silent audio (this part works well)
- high resolution stream for saving movies (movie_passthrough) on
/dev/video4 (v4l2loopback)
- low resolution and low framerate stream for motion detection on
/dev/video3 (v4l2loopback)
gst-launch-1.0 -v rpicamsrc bitrate=5000000 ! \

rpicamsrc comes from here: https://github.com/thaytan/gst-rpicamsrc
my motion.conf file:

webcontrol_port 8080

/dev/video3 and /dev/video4 are configured like this:
pi@raspberrypi /e/motion> v4l2-ctl -d3 --list-formats-ext
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
Type: Video Capture
[0]: 'H264' (H.264, compressed)
Size: Discrete 320x240
Interval: Discrete 0.200s (5.000 fps)
pi@raspberrypi /e/motion> v4l2-ctl -d4 --list-formats-ext
ioctl: VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
Type: Video Capture
[0]: 'H264' (H.264, compressed)
Size: Discrete 1280x960
Interval: Discrete 0.040s (25.000 fps)
The thing is I cannot get it to work reliably. Motion either stops
with SIGSEGV, or I get ffmpeg decoding errors. It somewhat worked once
or twice, but the stored movies were not readable (no frame error). So
I guess I'm missing something or taking the wrong approach.
Does someone have an idea of how I could achieve this ? Or where else
I could investigate ? Maybe should I only feed the low res to motion
using the videodevice parameter and use an external program for
recording the high resolution stream ?
Thanks for your help,
Benjamin
