        @sdetweil said in MMM-voice ugly hdmi banner:

        sudo apt-get install motion

        Your joking! So is that the packaged installed with that command? As what I was looking at was totally different to this. Thanks for your help.

                  @dazza120 its just one script… external_motion… you pass it a parm, started or ended
                  you need to configue both started and ended, else it can’t sleep thinking motion is still going on

                  note that because it is in the /etc folder tree, you must use sudo in front of your editor to get write permission

                    @sdetweil motion.conf won’t let me edit it, or rather the pi won’t any way around this?
