not supported or even wiped out when adding manually:: output_pictures center #2533

Open ufehembach opened 2 years ago

ufehembach commented 2 years ago

Hi, the feature "output_pictures center" is not supported and manual changes to the conffiles to add this are removed when changing the config.

Recent motion uses picture_output, output_pictures was the name until motion v4.1.

center however is no valid value: https://motion-project.github.io/motion_config.html#picture_output

The feature is basically controlled within the still images section in motionEye GUI. It is expected that motionEye's motion configs are rewritten when you change and save settings in motionEye.

Hi, thanks for the quick response. I'm using motion 4.1 and center is still in the sample config file. There is no more recent version of motion available on ubuntu mate on a raspi4. Compile failed horribly. may is ask, what the feature/field is called in the still images section of motionEye to select the image type? I have

Image File Name Image Quality Capture Mode Preserve Picture Enable manual snapshot

also I played with the feature "extra motion option" in "video device". This made motioneye stop and losing all the config.
