@sdetweil thanks ive done this command chmod +x external_motion but i don’t see an outcome it just re turns to pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake
whole commandline below
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SleepWake $ chmod +x external_motion
-
@dazza120 right. That makes my script executable, so motion can execute it
Now u will see files appear in the MMM-SleepWake/motion folder
When the motion module detects motion, and when it ends.
My module uses those files
-
@sdetweil u start the motion tool with sudo motion &
And u can see it’s actions in /var/log/motion/motion.log
The tail command will show you the last few lines (default 20) of a file
-
@sdetweil i’ll have a look tomorrow, thanks very much for your help much appreciated for your help
-
@sdetweil not sure its supposed to look like this
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo motion & [1] 28276 pi@raspberrypi:~ $ [0:motion] [ALR] [ALL] conf_load: could not open configfile /usr/local/etc/motion/motion.conf: No such file or directory [0:motion] [CRT] [ALL] conf_load: No config file to process, using default values [0:motion] [NTC] [ALL] motion_startup: Using default log level (NTC) (6) [0:motion] [NTC] [ALL] motion_startup: Logging to syslog [0:motion] [NTC] [ALL] motion_startup: Motion 4.2.1+git20181209-7bd179c Started [0:motion] [NTC] [ALL] motion_startup: Using default log type (ALL) [0:motion] [NTC] [ALL] motion_startup: Using log type (ALL) log level (NTC) [0:motion] [NTC] [ENC] ffmpeg_global_init: ffmpeg libavcodec version 57.64.101 libavformat version 57.56.101 [0:motion] [NTC] [ALL] translate_init: Language: English [0:motion] [NTC] [ALL] motion_start_thread: Camera ID: 0 Camera Name: (null) Device: /dev/video0 [0:motion] [NTC] [ALL] main: Waiting for threads to finish, pid: 28281 [1:ml1] [NTC] [ALL] motion_init: Camera 0 started: motion detection Enabled [1:ml1] [NTC] [VID] vid_start: Opening V4L2 device [1:ml1] [NTC] [VID] v4l2_device_open: Using videodevice /dev/video0 and input -1 [1:ml1] [NTC] [VID] v4l2_device_capability: - VIDEO_CAPTURE [1:ml1] [NTC] [VID] v4l2_device_capability: - READWRITE [1:ml1] [NTC] [VID] v4l2_device_capability: - STREAMING [1:ml1] [NTC] [VID] v4l2_input_select: Name = "ov534"- CAMERA [1:ml1] [NTC] [VID] v4l2_norm_select: Device does not support specifying PAL/NTSC norm [1:ml1] [NTC] [VID] v4l2_pixfmt_select: Configuration palette index 17 (YU12) for 640x480 doesn't work. -
@dazza120 Hey Dazza. Post it in the code-block you can use in the editor. Otherwise it’s hard to read your code/output.
-
@mdhenriksen not sure why it came out like that but i am doing it via vnc on my phone lol thank you that should be sorted now
-
@dazza120 Hm… mine says
[-1191364720:motion] [NTC] [ALL] conf_load: Processing thread 0 - config file /etc/motion/motion.conf -
@sdetweil hi for some reason I have no motion.conf file in there, but I was getting tones of video clips stored in /home/Pi folder, can you tell me the best remove command for motion project as I’ll start again from scratch and looking at one of the files in the home/Pi folder it said
Install complete! The default configuration file, motion-dist.conf, has been
installed to /usr/local/etc/motion. You need to rename/copy it to motion.conf
for Motion to find it. More configuration examples as well as init scripts
can be found in /usr/local/share/motion/examples. -
@dazza120 weird… if u installed with
apt-get install motion
then the command is
apt-get --purge remove motion
