With the revisions in the latest versions of Motion, if it plays with
ffplay, then it should work by specifying it as the netcam_url
parameter.? The edits limiting the accepted protocols have been
removed.? You can also add whichever ffmpeg parameters are needed in the
netcam_params.
Motion would also work with the workaround you are trying on gstreamer.?
That is, have ffmpeg grab the stream and send it to a v4l2 loopback
device that Motion would then use.

Hi
For a long time when I look through the save videos of recorded
movement there is always one or two text messages that show up Headed
"ABC" with a load of text underneath which looks like its in latin
Anyway to switch these off

That's what I ended up doing, after spending literally the entire day trying to
get gstreamer to work right. What incredibly annoying software. Amazing how
quick and simple it was, with ffmpeg. Still, it would be easier for me just to
stream directly from SRT.
Can you give me a example of how the netcam_url is supposed to be formatted,
with an option or two being passed to ffmpeg? I'm unclear as to how that works.
Is motion 4.5.1 sufficient, or do I need to grab the latest git?
By the way, after reading through the source a bit, motion is some of the
cleanest, best commented code I've ever seen. And I spend a lot of time reading
and suffering through people's shit code. My hat's off to you!
Dave

I think any version after 4.4 should work.? I just tested it with
4.5.1.? The netcam_url is just
netcam_url srt://localhost:40052
netcam_params listen_timeout=microseconds,recv_buffer_size=bytes
and in a separate terminal I created a sample stream
ffmpeg -i testmovie.mkv -c:v libx264 -f mpegts
'srt://:40052?mode=listener&latency=2000000'
?(It initially timed out but then started and spewed a lot of
ffmpeg/srt messages but worked.? The netcam_params are just samples I
saw from the ffmpeg documentation page.)
