Howdy,
I am using Motion 4.4.0-1 on a Manjaro system. The system started doing a
freeze frame thing where it pauses on the frame that triggered the event,
then after the pause it jumps forward a few seconds, which skips a few
seconds worth of recordings.
Any ideas on how to stop this?
I checked the log file and don't see anything that stands out in the events.
Thanks,
Ron

could you produce a sample log with -d 9 and also send a corresponding
video recording with freeze?
you can encrypt the video for me if it is too private:

Pardon me for interruption. Does a situation with record skipping that you?ve
described looks like it records like 1 fps or even worse? If so it reminds me
my problem with recording from topic I started a month ago.

Could you try to increase the bitrate to something bigger and also try
different codec, like:
movie_bps 9000000
movie_codec mp4
Does that change anything?
