MJPEG - "I'm currently experiencing Motion losing connection with the net camera after less than 1 day using the video.cgi method, whereas it works 24/7 for many weeks using the image.jpg method. I am using basic user authentication, although may turn it off to see if it changes the lost connection behavior. "

== umask ==

motion would not respect the umask group permission on directories as writable. So I fixed the source code:
