Re: [Motion-user] Convert to 3GP - Broken

[Bruce D. <bru...@gm...>]

Hi Gordon,

You'll need to add the parameter %f to the end of your on_xxx propertiesin
motion.conf; The parameter is no longer automatically passed by default.

e.g.

on_movie_end /home/gordon/motion/myscript %f

It's documented in snap4:

Added two new conversion specifiers: %f which is filename (full path) and %=
n
which is filetype (sqltype) valid in on_picture_save, on_movie_start,
on_movie_end and sql_query. This also means that filename is no longer
appended at the end of the 3 on_xxxx commands. (Kenneth Lavrsen)

-Bruce.
