MotionWebcamServer plugin - Missing library
-
If anyone is interested you can show the motion "control" web page inside DWC to allow you access / change some advanced video values (brightness, size etc) in a simple gui provided by motion:
(you will need BtnCmd Plugin to do this)
Set your motion config like below:
& restart the pluginIn BtnCmd add a remote source panel:
And set the URL to
http://[pi ip]:8080/
eg:
Then resize to fit your screen and save the layout.

@mintytrebor DWC lets you show the same content on the Jobs -> Webcam page if you check
Embed webcam image in an iframe
on the Settings -> General page and change the config + URL accordingly.PS: I'm rebuilding DuetPi to make the required changes from above obsolete. The next DSF version will fix it, too.

@chrishamm, @MintyTrebor Thanks

@chrishamm @MintyTrebor I would like to increase the frame rate. Could you help a Linux dummy out and give me the exact command to enter to change the frame rate. Thanks

In with your system files is now
motion.conf
. Open that file to edit in DWC and go to around line 59 and change the default 15 to whatever you want (within limits of your camera, of course). It'll look like this:# Maximum number of frames to be captured per second. framerate 15

@adammhaile Wow that was too easy, thanks @adammhaile

@mintytrebor Are you aware of any way to get motion to output a stream larger than 640x480?
I've tried updating motion.conf but no matter what size I set the stream stays tiny. -
My Config:
motion.conf.txtI also made sure to use a resolution supported by my camera by checking:
v4l2-ctl --list-formats-ext
