motion journalctl duplicated entries

[eusoubrasileiro]

Hi everyone, thanks again for this awesome project.
It's a stupid question but there we go since I'm struggling with this for a long time.

I am using log_level 6 and executing motion with motion -n

How to avoid having duplicated log entries on journalctl? Example from motion of undesired behavior bellow.

when I use journalctl -xe -u motion

I suppose is something wrong with my motion settings is making duplicated entries on journalctl.
Any idea I appreciate.

Could you try to run motion with logging into file enabled? Does it also duplicate entries when logging into a file?
