This sounds like the best so far, I have the script playing a sound for each cam
I will start looking at ffplay
Thank you

You can achieve something similar using the
script option 'on_event_start'
to run a script that uses ffplay to display the camera
output and then stop it with 'on_event_end'.

First, I am using IP cams
Second, vid_control_params does not have anything to do with the webserver
interface only camera fine tuning for picture/video
Normally localhost:8080 shows all cameras in a video matrix block
The autofocus function I want is when motion is detected on one of the cameras,
that camera?s video goes full screen
End of motion event, back to 8080
Playing with a bunch of ideas but still not sure what I can do after I hack
this out.
Can I publish the changes on my site?
Does the GNU allow me to do this?
Does the Original Author have to okay the changes?

There is already a config called "vid_control_params" that controls USB V4L
cameras. If your camera supports turing autofocus on/off - just use
vid_control_params

I wanted to add another Flag called Autofocus=true/false
It would ?full screen? the camera that detects motion.
A function that would seem to be a no brainer in any surveillance system.
First time dealing with GNU not sure what I can do
Thanks for any information

I responded to this before but wanted to ask about the webcontrol
Specifically webcontrol_parms 2
How can I send messages to any part of Motion with this at 2 and not 0
