Subject: [Motion-user] Motion video clips AND snapshots concurrently?

Hi all,
This is actually a 2 part question:
1- Can motion be set up to produce video clips on motion detection AND
snapshots concurrently?
2- If #1 is yes, can there be a separate directory path for each?
the manual states:
"""
snapshot_filename
* Type: String
* Range / Valid values: Max 4095 characters
* Default: %v-%Y%m%d%H%M%S-snapshot
This option indicates the file name and optionally the path for the
snapshots relative to target_dir.
"""
but there is no explanation of how to specify the file path.
The .conf file specifies the ability to enter a file path for pics/video
etc, all the same path.
Rainer

Yes, it is probably considered so simple that no example was provided...
snapshot_filename=/var/spool/motion/snapshot/%Y/%m/%d-%H%M%S-snapshot
or
snapshot_filename=snapshot/%Y%m/%s-%H%M%S-snapshot
Or whatever variations you want. Let me know what you have tried, what
the outcome was, and what you want it to do, if you are still having
trouble with it.
