MOTION_NUM_MAX = 0 is not continuous; Only records one video #131

I might be confused as to what continuous means. I am assuming it means go up to infinity.

With this configuration from secvid.py, only one capture occurs.

MOTION_TRACK_ON = True        # Default= True True=Turns Motion Detect On, False=Off
MOTION_PREFIX = "mo-"         # Default= "mo-" Prefix for all Motion Detect images
MOTION_DIR = "media/hdvid"    # Default= "media/motion"  Folder Path for Motion Detect Image Storage
MOTION_RECENT_DIR = "media/recent/hdvid"  # Default= "media/recent/motion"  Location of motionRecent files
MOTION_NUM_RECYCLE_ON = False # Default= True when NumMax reached restart at NumStart instead of exiting
MOTION_NUM_START = 10000      # Default= 1000 Start 0f motion number sequence
MOTION_NUM_MAX  = 0           # Default= 2000 Max number of motion images desired. 0=Continuous

I have to change the MOTION_NUM_MAX to a number greater than MOTION_NUM_START for it to record more than one video.
