[Problem] 'Email photo' Error: Is a directory: '/home/webcam'

[Bender Rodríguez]

Hello guys,

I followed the webcam tutorial and need a bit help please.

Text Emails are working but when I try to send photos this error appears in 'alarm.py':

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/alarmfunctionsr.py", line 411, in SendEmailAlertThread
    part = MIMEApplication(open(latestphoto,"rb").read())
IOError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/home/webcam'

I'm missing following entry's from the tutorial in /etc/motion/motion.conf:

gap 10
max_mpeg_time 30
output_normal center
webcam_motion on
webcam_maxrate 30
webcam_port 8085
webcam_localhost off

there are others like:

event_gap 60
and stream_* instead of webcam_*

Maybe the tutorial is a bit outdated but Motion is working and pictures are in '/home/webcam'.

I can upload log and config files, just let me know what is needed.
