Public bug reported: Ubuntu 14.04 Motion 3.2.12
Invoking timelapse in home/motion.conf causes the following cyclic error. Motion detection continues to work as expected - it is just the time-lapse function causing the error. Worked as expected until 2 days ago. Lots of similar errors can be found via searching but no solution: [1] Error opening file /home/magnus/Motion/Camera0//20140428-timelapse.mpg: Invalid argument [1] ffopen_open error creating (timelapse) file [/home/magnus/Motion/Camera0//20140428-timelapse.mpg]: Invalid argument In full: [0] Processing thread 0 - config file /home/magnus/motion.conf [0] Motion 3.2.12 Started [0] ffmpeg LIBAVCODEC_BUILD 3547904 LIBAVFORMAT_BUILD 3544067 [0] Thread 1 is from /home/magnus/motion.conf [1] Thread 1 started [1] cap.driver: "uvcvideo" [1] cap.card: "HP Webcam" [1] cap.bus_info: "usb-0000:00:1d.7-5" [1] cap.capabilities=0x84000001 [1] - VIDEO_CAPTURE [1] - STREAMING [1] Test palette YUYV (320x240) [1] Using palette YUYV (320x240) bytesperlines 640 sizeimage 153600 colorspace 00000008 [1] found control 0x00980900, "Brightness", range -128,127 [1] "Brightness", default 0, current 0 [1] found control 0x00980901, "Contrast", range 0,100 [1] "Contrast", default 0, current 0 [1] found control 0x00980902, "Saturation", range 0,100 [1] "Saturation", default 0, current 0 [1] found control 0x00980903, "Hue", range -30,30 [1] "Hue", default 0, current 0 [1] found control 0x00980910, "Gamma", range 1,500 [1] "Gamma", default 1, current 1 [1] mmap information: [1] frames=4 [1] 0 length=153600 [1] 1 length=153600 [1] 2 length=153600 [1] 3 length=153600 [1] Using V4L2 [1] Resizing pre_capture buffer to 1 items [1] Error opening file /home/magnus/Motion/Camera0//20140429-timelapse.mpg: Invalid argument [1] ffopen_open error creating (timelapse) file [/home/magnus/Motion/Camera0//20140429-timelapse.mpg]: Invalid argument [1] Thread exiting [1] Calling vid_close() from motion_cleanup [1] Closing video device /dev/video0 [0] Motion thread 1 restart etc... ** Affects: motion (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1314053 Title: Motion fails to record time lapse video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/motion/+bug/1314053/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
