Still images are saved but not movies during motion detection about motioneye HOT 10 CLOSED

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

from motioneye.

/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

from motioneye.

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

from motioneye.

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

from motioneye.

Yes, you should.

from motioneye.

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

from motioneye.
