Ok, i don't know if i'm stupid or something but it won't shoot in slow mode when the dial is on auto. The fast mode will shoot with the exect same settings. What's the problem?

Well it does shoot for me in auto mode + slow shoot as long as I disable automatic flashlight.

Sounds very much like an apparent user error. Check the script file on your SD card using a text editor like notepad... can't remember if any S5 user has confirmed the script to work, but an unk from line 1 is plenty weird even if it doesn't.

this is what I'm using

Code: [Select]

rem Fudgey's Fast/Slow/Video Motion Detector with masks.
rem Requires a build with "dm_movie" included.
rem (At the time of writing only a570is KAP test build has this feature).
rem 
rem Changes to MDFB 080411: 
rem Burst/Review time is now burst/review/video time.
rem In video mode it specifies how long in seconds to film.
rem 
rem Fast/Slow mode is now fast/slow/video mode. Video mode is
rem never fast, mode change takes some time. To optimize it try decresing
rem sleep times in video_md_loop to whatever minimum values your camera
rem allows. The most important one is after the line 'press "dm_movie"'
rem because that delay is waited between detection and start of record.
rem 
rem If you set video time 0 s, about 1 second of video will be shot.
rem
rem Shortened the title a bit.
rem 
rem Developed on A570IS by fudgey. May work on all Digic III cameras.
rem Allbest build 34 or higher (or compatible md_detect_motion) is required for
rem fast/slow MD modes, a build with dm_movie is required for video mode.
rem Digic II needs a small modification: "get_prop 206 p" -> "get_prop 205 p"

I'm using the canon s5 with the allbest 101b-51-413 firmware.
using a 8gb card setup with one partition of 20mb where the allbest firmware is placed. once allbest loads it them switches over to the secondary partition.
the script is saved in the scripts folder as both motion.txt and motion with no extention on the end. both are saved as UTF-8.

I've tried with and without the rem lines (yes I know they are just comments but was just trying to save space)
I've even tried removing the very first line "@title Fast MD 080414" just to see if it would change anything and it didn't

I've also tried your other build that was in your first post with no result.s

if you can be of any help I would be happy

Good grief, that's a test version which only works on the old KAP build. See the comment in the beginning of the script...

Use the latest version of MDFB.

that sums it up. it was user error :-) didn't notice the attachments on one of your other post here. tried that and it worked like a charm.

though I did try all the others that where setup and put in the code brackets before that at least

thank you and how does one give a karma?
