Re: [Motion-user] Motionplus crashes on mlp_init: Camera 1 started: motion detection Enabled

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Sorry - I also forgot to mention if it helps with tracking down the 
issue - motionplus does write a 0 byte file to /tmp/cameras/ with the 
correct filename, but its normally a zero byte file.

Sometimes, I'm not sure why, it will actually output a full JPG - and 
if the camera is not available, I do get an output that mentions in the 
snapshot that the camera source is not available.

I've tried tinkering with framerate settings, but nothing seems to make 
it work consistently.
