motion: Thread 3 - Watchdog timeout, did NOT restart graceful,killing it!

Question

My Motion runs for a while, generally around an hour then stops.

The cameras are analog connected to an easycap device.

I've just upgraded to 3.2.12

Any pointers please?

Answer

This can be related to V4L driver of your Easycap.

What Easycap device are you using?

Which driver and kernel?
