Re: [Motion-user] 'gapless' event mode

[Joerg W. <mo...@al...>]

Jeff,

'gapless' is referring to the 'event_gap' option.

Motion is about events. An event starts when there is motion. It ends
'event_gap' seconds after there is no more motion. That can also lead to
videos, that have gaps - like motion, no motion, motion in one video. If
you set event_gap to '0', an event will never end and a lot of things will
not work anymore.

The new gapless event mode just ends an event when there is no more motion
or after post_capture frames if any. This way you won't see any gaps
(leaps) in a video clip.

Brgds Joerg.

I'm also confused by the wording used to describe this feature, could it
be clarified?

Googling for 'gapless video' returns a result [0], but I'm not sure if
what he meant by gapless video is what motion means by gapless video.

The description from the result is:
What do I mean? A playlist with several video clips that playback
without the annoying 1/2 seconds black gap (time varies).
I know, I can merge the videos. But for this project (advertising
presentation) I must have the playlist (video clip order changes often)
which plays clip by clip.
