Description

motionEye version 0.42.1 Motion version 4.2.2

There is the following misunderstanding. When notifications is sending about motion detection, I use the following script

#! / usr / bin / python import sys, requests r = requests.post ("https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json", data = {"token": "token", "user": "user", "message": "Motion detected!"}, files = {" attachment ": open (sys.argv [1]," rb ")})

It works when called from terminal (python pushover.py ) and notification comes But when used in a motionEye nothing happens

Contributor guide

Research direction
Check motionEye logs for script execution errors, verify the script path and arguments in motionEye configuration, and ensure the environment (e.g., PATH, working directory) is correct. Also confirm that motionEye passes the correct file path to the script.
