Follow up

Some questions.

So you installed motion-3.2.4 from RPM? And with ffmpeg-0.4.9-0.20041110.3.2 RPM? That will fail. The ffmpeg API has changed. You need to download a newer ffmpeg rpm. I have tested and built the Motion rpm using the version from Livna as written on the DownloadFiles page.

Can you post your entire motion.conf? Just attach it to this topic. There is an attach button below.

You should try pwc version 10.0.X. I have tested with 10.0.8 and 10.0.9. I have a logitech Sphere and I control it via the http interface.

But first get the right ffmpeg rpm. Motion probably crashes when you move the camera because the movement triggers motion which again triggers ffmpeg to make an mpeg and then it crashes.
