? Sorry I posted this? and it went to the wrong person, so try again
Also
try running systemctl restart motion , then systemctl status motion,?
That needs to be run as superuser, root etc.
if that looks normal set the log level to 8 and using tail -f
/var/log/motion/motion.log? ( or wherever you have the logfile)
watch what happens on an event that triggers .
It could be when you start motion -c you are not in the same user group
or the same user as starting it from systemd, or motion does not have
permission to write the video
file . On all my video storage directories I set the group to motion, or
the user that runs it, or the group that user is in.rite the file is
required
The logfile? will show if permission to w
If this is the case you will see in the log real time what is happening.

Let me explain a little: video files are saved in any case. As when starting
the Service, and from a regular user 1000 from the Terminal.
But the Script is launched only from the Terminal, and is not launched as a
?Service?.
For example, I run: "on_movie_start /usr/bin/gedit". The text editor should
launch. It can be launched either from User ?root? or from User 1000.
But, when you start the Service, nothing happens, but from the Terminal,
everything works. Config-file is the same in both cases.
?
sudo systemctl status motion - does not give any errors.
