BUG: camera input parameter is valid from 0 to 15 except 8

I have a capture card with 16 inputs. In the config file when I select input 8, I get the video from input 0. The reason is lies in video2.c, row 196 if (in == 8) in = 0;

I just can't configure 8. It gets clobbered, probably for a reason. I changed this line to if (in == 255) in = 0;

And presto! It works for me, but I have no idea what else went wrong (eg. with usb cameras?)

in motion.conf:
videodevice /dev/video0
input 8

hacked fix video2.c, line 196
if (in == 255)
  in = 0;

Environment

Motion version:	3.2.12
ffmpeg version:
Shared libraries:	postgresql
Server OS:	ubuntu 10.10, kernel 2.6.32-25-generic

Follow up

Hi Laszlo,

Ohh , nevermind ! This was done to allow use with webcams so the better fix is to set input -1 for webcams.

Let me fix this in svn .

Fix record

Updated trunk and branch with a fix , so now for webcams input value has to be set to -1 instead of 8.

Cheers,
