Hello,

First, I want to say thanks for writing this script. I'm trying to get it setup on my Arch Linux ARM PogoPlug E02 and hopefully you can provide some guidance.

Here is what I've done so far:

pacman -Sy
pacman -S motion
mkdir -p /var/run/motion

turn off localhost access only

sed -i 's:webcam_localhost on:webcam_localhost off:' /etc/motion/motion.conf

adjust resolution

sed -i 's:width 320:width 640:' /etc/motion/motion.conf
sed -i 's:height 240:height 480:' /etc/motion/motion.conf

download pypymotion

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/7AC/pypymotion/tarball/master
tar xvf master
cd 7AC-pypymotion-523b7f4
mkdir /etc/pypymotion

wasn't sure were to put the scripts, so why not here

cp * /etc/pypymotion

make executable

chmod a+x /etc/pypymotion/*.py

change to python2

sed -i 's/env python/env python2/' /etc/pypymotion/pypymotion.py

configure my email address, ios_compatible = 1

nano /etc/pypymotion/pypymotion.cfg

change log file to /etc/pypymotion/pypymotion.log

nano /etc/pypymotion/pypymotion.py

echo 'on_movie_end /etc/pypymotion/pypymotion.py %f' >> /etc/motion/motion.conf

start motion

motion

My first question is, I gave the script a quick test by executing it directly. Should I be concern about it not being able to import findmyiphone or do I need to download the module? I'm not using the findmyiphone feature (yet).

[root@spike pypymotion]# pwd
/etc/pypymotion
[root@spike pypymotion]# ./pypymotion.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./pypymotion.py", line 26, in
import findmyiphone
ImportError: No module named findmyiphone

Second question is, do I need to make any other changes to the default /etc/motion/motion.conf file? The script execute on movie end. Do I need to enable something in the conf first to have motion make a movie?

As you can tell I'm totally new to motion. Thanks
