Camera Pi stores files while configured network-storage #1659

Closed Rycoviac closed 6 years ago

Rycoviac commented 6 years ago

I've configured my cam to store files on network storage. The Hub is a PI3 with motionEyeOS installed. Storing files on the hub works, but I've found out, that the cam is saving also files on /data/media. It seems, it transfers the mediafiles after a completed video to the Hub, but don't delete the files after that. The videofiles still stored on cam-sdcard. Since it is a 32GB card on cam, theres plenty of storage. But it could be a problem on longterm, since I've to maintain it regulary. Did I miss something?

That is very unlikely, if I understand your setup correctly. Can we see some configuration screenshots from your hub, just so that we're clear about where your media files should go?

Rycoviac commented 6 years ago

Hm, before I post giant screenshots... could it be, that I have to set at "Movies" the preserve to "one day", so after 24h the files will be deleted local on the cam (but not on the hub)? At the moment I'm at prototyping, so I diddn't test this jet.

Edit: Nevermind, I see it deleted on both (Hub + Cam) after changing this setting. I prepare some screenshots...

Camera1 was connected on the Hub for first configuration. CamFrontDoor is the Pi Zero.

I'm not saying that this is the cause of your problem, but the Network Share name should definitely not be made of more than one path component. In your case, that would probably be storage. The cam1 part should probably go on the Root Directory. Try it that way and see how it behaves.

Rycoviac commented 6 years ago

Ohh... I realised that all under /storage on the Cam-Pi is a link to the HUB. This isn't a own directory on the Cam1-SDcard, it is the directory on the Hub. I don't know exactly why you see this on FTP while on the cam... thats new for me, but something cool. So there are no files on Cam1-SD. Case closed =D Edit: /data/media/motioneye_192_168_178_100_storage_admin is on SFTP the same as /storage/motioneye_192_168_178_100_storage_admin on FTP
