Subject: [Motion-user] H264 in Slackware..
Message-ID: <20200615094239.6c806baf@ACAB.TOSIAR>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Hi gang,
Okay, I've been trying to use the h264 stream in my Axis cameras but Slackware
doesn't have an obvious 'H264' for Motion to see, I guess.
Slackware has 'x264' ("x264 is a free library for encoding H264/AVC video
streams.").
If I want to use h264 to make the video files a little smaller (and still keep
the clarity, frame speed, mp4 instead of avi, etc), should I build Motion
during the 'config' like this?:
./configure --with-ffmpeg=/usr/lib64 --with-x264=/usr/lib64
Will this make Motion at least be able to use the h264 to make the files at
the least (I don't have a clue how I can make the actual camera themselves see
that I have an equivalent H264 installed on my system)?
Thanks for any ideas with this. It's not really 'important', but would just be
nice since it would really help me out as all I have are small hdd's (124GB)
and sometimes the videos can be 300+MB in size as avi's, so I was hoping maybe
as mp4's I can have just as good videos of smaller file size.
JB

The issue is not with the individual streams, it's with the consolidated
/ summary page that shows all cameras as pseudo thumbnails
(http://<IP>:8180).

I wasn't aware of this issue (mind you: I am only running motion 4.0 - and
all nine of my cameras display correctly on <ipaddr>:8180 using Firefox
77.0.1)
At the moment I use a simple web page that runs on my server to display all
my cameras on a summary page that is currently showing the nine camera feeds
simultaneously. The page is built up of a sequence of CSS 'flex-containers'
each containing the following structure:
<div class="gallery">
<div class="desc">Camera Three - Alleyway</div>
<a href="Camera3.html"><img src="http://<ipaddr>:8183/" alt="Camera
Three"></a>
</div>
The link to Camera3.html allows you to click on the image of a camera's
output and be taken direct to that camera feed. HTML for this page is just
a top-and-tail of this:
<div class="selected">
<div class="desc">Camera Three - Alleyway</div>
<a href="index.html"><img src="http://<ipaddr>:8183" alt="Camera
Three"></a>
</div>
The structure is therefore very similar to that of the consolidated /
summary page referred to below (http://<IP>:8180). Am I likely to run into
this issue if I upgrade to 4.2 if it's claimed this is a Browser limitation?

I haven't tried opening more than 6 cameras in individual streams, which
sounds like you're doing, then displaying all of them on a single page.?
I've found the system resources on the motion capture machine pegs at
max when I have more than a few streams open, so I just use the summary
page, then open individual streams from there if there's something
interesting to look at. Usually I use that page just to make sure all
the cameras are still up (I need to reset something almost every other day).
PerhapsMotion 4.2 and lateradopted the model you have in 4.0, and that's
why I can't see more than 6 cameras on that page.? I thought I read
somewhere in the release notes they changed the web server source to
something different in 4.2, and figured that's what broke it.
