MQTT - Motion Files

[rpkilgore]

I'm attempting to write a script that will use the mqtt message que's to get the motion files, but I haven't been able to capture that message yet from the cam. Anyone had any luck pulling the motion files from that topic? I can see most all the other start and stop messages, but not the video file list.

I should mention I'm testing this on 2 r35gb cams. Here is a screen shot where you can see the motion stop events, but not the motion_files. Anyone else successfully get the motion files from mqtt? The top screen is subscribed to all events, the bottom one is specifically subscribed to the motion_files.

So after some tinkering I found that to get the mqtt messages to work then AI Human detection has to be turned off. Then I started getting some messages. Yay!

the motion_files topic didn't exactly give me what I was expecting, instead of the actual file names it appears to give a start and end time stamp. And even more strange is it occasionally sends a 1969 time stamps. From observation though this appears to happen on the motion start events, after the motion stop events it seems to reliably send a proper date/time stamp, but I guess that means I have to convert that to a valid filename? I've also not9ced that it also gets the end time and start time swapped.
Anyone else notice these quirks and has anyone else wrote any scripts to pull the vids from the camera using these events?

You are right.
There is a problem in the section "files":

{
"start":"2022-04-07T15:00:09+0200",
"end":"2022-04-07T15:01:10+0200",
"files":[ ]
}

I have to check the code.

I fixed the problem, next release...

What's the behavior in r35gb and y211ga?

[rpkilgore]

Same as initially reported. Start and End time are populated but the files array is blank.
r35gb:

y211ga:

Cool. I will test this out as soon as I can. Thanks!
