You probably want to use rpicam-vid. |

So there's no config I can change that would improve the frame rate? It's just a limitation of the software. |

Describe the issue/problem and steps to reproduce
I have a Raspberry Pi 2B+ with an IR camera (I believe it is the OV5647) and I just installed the latest Raspbian on it and tried to get Motion working. v4 didn't work, even with the
libcamerifyworkaround, so I tried building v5 from source.I eventually got it working, but at a measly 1 frame per second. With
rpicam-vidI can easily get the 15fps I desire, at 1920x1080. I even had to drop the resolution down to 1280x720 for Motion just to get 1-2fps.I'm guessing that this is because it's doing software decoding, or not using the hardware as efficiently as it could.
Is there anything I can do to fix this, or is it a limitation of the Motion software?
Relevant Motion log output (at log_level 8)
