Because before the watchdog process died, a file with the movie should have been written. Then I remembered that I had changed the resolution. With the format set at the beginning of the tests with the new version of motion there was a green stripe on the right edge. Then I set an acceptable width. Then I gradually lowered the height. Now I am at a format of 2048x1456 and it seems to work|| -- Fritz Wettstein-Bossard Gubelstrasse 14 6300 Zug Switzerland -- Phone: +41 41 720 0557 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... -------------- next part -------------- # Rename this distribution example file to motion.conf # # This config file was generated by motion 4.4.0 # Documentation: /usr/share/doc/motion/motion_guide.html # # This file contains only the basic configuration options to get a # system working.
