Option

I have 'output_pictures best' and 'picture_filename preview' set to generate a
preview image of the video files. The image should show a frame with the most
motion or changes in the video.
On two cameras where I am using the new netcam_highres feature, the jpg image
is about a minute after the video stopped recording. This seems to coincide
with the time the video is closed after no more motion is detected. Overlays do
not work from Motion when netcam_highres is set (as expected and documented),
so I have the camera generate the time and date overlay instead. That is how I
know the time of the image.
On the one camera where I do not use netcam_highres, a USB camera, the preview
image does represent the part of the video file with the most motion. The time
of the image is during the time the video was recorded.
I would consider this to be a high priority issue. Because the jpg image
represents a time 1 minute after the motion has stopped, the viewer is led to
believe the associated motion recording was a false positive, so the video is
not being reviewed.
I have the 'output_pictures' and 'picture_filename preview' settings set in
motion.conf, not the cameraX.conf files, because I want those settings to apply
to all cameras. Using the Motion 4.1.1 deb in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Thank you.

Thanks for the info.? A revision will be pushed to the github shortly
that should resolve this.
