<html><head></head><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Hmm, that's different than the trouble Motion kept giving me on the RPi. To get it to work after after quitting it, I had to reboot. I eventually gave up using Motion for my PiLarm project because the timing around the actual motion events lagged too much for my taste. The streaming always worked for me, when I could get the daemon started.<br>
