Hi all,
I'm using the following config:
netcam_url
rtmp://172.31.1.245/bcs/channel0_ext.bcs?channel=0&stream=2&user=user&password=pass
netcam_params framerate=30,capture_rate=30
width=896
height=672
netcam_high_url
rtmp://172.31.1.245/bcs/channel0_main.bcs?channel=0&stream=0&user=user&password=pass
netcam_high_params framerate=15,capture_rate=15
....
snapshot_interval 1
snapshot_filename %Y%m%d%H%M%S-%q
The snapshots that get saved to disk are:
20220609234203-00.jpg: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01, aspect
ratio, density 1x1, segment length 16, Exif Standard: [TIFF image data,
big-endian, direntries=3, datetime=2022:06:09 23:42:03], baseline,
precision 8, 896x672, components 3
I'm not sure if this is a resized image from the high res stream - or
if they're being saved from the low res stream...
I saw this Issue reported:
<https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion/issues/1442>
I'm not sure if its related - but the files I see don't seem to be
corrupt, but they are certainly of the smaller resolution.
I have tried this with movie_passthrough both on and off - as I don't
save any pictures or movies - I'm only doing snapshot output of 1fps.
Both configurations end up with the same sized output - but motion
seems to use a *LOT* less CPU when movie_passthrough is turned on.
I feel this is a bug, and snapshots should save from the high
resolution screen.
Has anyone come across this?

You could use an 'on_picture_save' event to move them to
another directory. There is no separate target_dir for pictures in the
manual.

Have you tried to put the directory in the picture name.
e.g
target_dir /mnt/storage/
picture_filename /pictures/%v-%Y%m%d%H%M
movie_filename /movies/%t-%v-%Y%m%d%H%M%S
