Motion pictures not copied to recent folder when motionTrackQuickPic = True #91

Closed NelsonPJ closed 5 years ago

NelsonPJ commented 6 years ago

I know that the "recent" folder doesn't get updated with motion capture files if MotionVideoOn = True, so it won't have to copy mp4 files. But I also noticed when motionTrackQuickPic= True, the media/recent/motion folder doesn't get updated. The function "saveRecent" does not get called - maybe this is for speed of motion capture?

Digging into the pi-timolo.py code, the "saveRecent" function is also not called if motionQuickTLOn and daymode (again, probably for speed?)

Not necessarily a big deal - just something that confused me when trying out new motion capture options.

I would appreciate if you would test release 10.95 that now uses symlinks for recent folders. These are indicated with @ in browser webserver. I have also added motion videos and quicktimelapse to recent. Note there is an h264_work folder in pi-timolo that stores the h264 video files. I will look at adding code to cleanup these. Conversion from h264 to mp4 is now done directly using MP4BOX using a subprocess in pi-timolo rather than using a convid.sh subprocess. This also creates the symlink. There will be a logging delay for MP4Box since it will take a short while to convert so messages MP4Box message can appear later in logging sequence.

I have done quite a bit of testing and fixed a few symlink glitches but would greatly appreciate further testing. You should do a menubox.sh UPGRADE since webserver also has some additional error checks for bad symlinks.

Thanks Claude ...
