No output is written to disk

[dAnjou]

I'm using the ArchLinux based distro Manjaro.

OpenCV: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/opencv/ Python 2.7: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/python2/

Problem is that I don't see anything written to disk in /tmp.

Command and terminal output:

$ lightweight-motion -v 0 -d /tmp -w

Please, try giving lower threshold and sensitivity values (0.05 or so) and checkout if a red dot indicating movement appears on the window.

[dAnjou]

Oh, I already moved my head around and there was a red dot. No files created though.

Maybe log movement events?

[umazalakain]

Yes, I should really improve logging, I'm opening a new issue with it.

[umazalakain]

Output handlers logging has been improved, give it a try please!

[dAnjou]

Logging is better now. I can see when motion is detected but there is still no output on disk (same command as above). I "stop" the program with CTRL+c, is that alright?
