Pictures are saved, but movies are not.

Hi. Have you installed required tools for building movies? (depend of your architecture, should be avconv or ffmpeg IIRW)

/var/log/motion.log should say more about this problem.

I have followed this procedure : https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye/wiki/Install-On-Raspbian

whereis ffmpeg
ffmpeg: /usr/bin/ffmpeg /usr/share/man/man1/ffmpeg.1.gz

[ccrisan]

Your motion has no ffmpeg support. How did you install motion?

[karma007]

i think i used "apt-get install motion ffmpeg"
but, as i used motioneye old version, i'm not sure.
More over, i think my motion file in /usr/bin/motion is "motion--mmal" (as i've got a motion.old too).
Shoud il replace this file with this one : https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye/wiki/motion-binaries/motion-mrdave-raspbian ?

thanks

[ccrisan]

Yes, you should.

[karma007]

i have downloaded and chmod 0755/usr/bin/motion
now movies works again
thanks

[ccrisan]

Great. I'll close the issue then.
