Hi MrDave,
When I edit text_right to be longer, so that the left edge crosses the
(xw/2) half of width, the text_scale jumps back and forth between 1 and
2, about each second.
So it seems the problem is not only halfway vertical, but horizontal as
well.

Hi MrDave,
I thought I had it figured out, but it is still jumping back and forth
between text_scale 1 and 2, even though I am keeping the text in the
lower right quarter of screen.
My current setting:
text_right %D \n%K,%L \n%N \n%Y-%m-%d %T-%q\n%{fps}
This is running on a raspberry pi4, newest buster-full, then duplicated
to a second pi4 using dd to make exact duplicate, then changing only the
ip address and camera rtsp address, and adding a second camera. The
first installation with one camera is not having this problem with the
scale, it is staying at double, or scale 2.
Also on the second installation, it is the first camera that is doing
this, so I suspect I'm doing something unique or outside of basic
testing, to be getting this result.
Right now I see it starts at scale 2, for the leading frames
pre_capture 1
then when changed pixels > threshold, it changes to scale 1, until <
threshold, either at end of event
post_capture 4
or in the middle when < threshold it changes back to scale 2 for a few
frames.
I think before this is over, I'll be sharing all my config files. Who
can I send them to?
