event_extpipe_end: pclose return: -1

[nvj1d]

Hello everyone! I am trying to use motion to record some videos with the configuration option use_extpipe set to “on”. The videos have been recorded without any issues. However, I noticed something in the log, and I’d like to inquire whether this behavior is normal. Typically, a value of -1 indicates an error state. Is this the case here, or is it considered normal? Here’s the log snippet:
