Re: motion: problem finding codec
>From my yesterday's logs, here is what I was getting when the camera worked:

Oct 18 09:40:28 red motion: [1] cap.card: "UVC Camera (046d:0990)"
That "ffmpeg LIBAVCODEC_BUILD 3482368 LIBAVFORMAT_BUILD 3478784" appears
to be missing now. I wonder whether something during today's upgrade?
Thanks.
