Dear

I recently saw that the motion.log file was taking 12gb of drive space. Looking into it I saw that I keep having the same piece of log repeated every second or so:

[2:nc3:LivingRoom] [DBG] [NET] netcam_check_content_length: Content-Length 19198

This is the first piece of info I get on the "livingroom" camera.

in motion.conf the log_level 6
in motioneye.conf the log_level info

The config in for my camera is the below (done via motioneye, but generated this config file):

It's weird that my log levels are not on debug, but I still get debug log messages...

Thanks!
