At this time ZM always decodes. It is on the todo list to change this but since no one is funding the work... it is slow going.

Yeah we don't really have this ability at this time. We can add it.... what's your budget? :) Text is easy, just use the timestamp label. Boxes are harder. I can't help but think if I was doing it, I would use spray paint. Of course this might get covered by a car right? I guess I'm just not sure wh...

If the filter is only deleting the db entry then you have Options -> System -> OPT_FAST_DELETE checked. Uncheck it.

You probably do not want the filter to run concurrently.
The symlinks don't matter, they are for silly humans to use, ZM doesn't use them.

So I think this value is in usecs... so 1 second would be 1000000

Not sure why we seem to be suggesting that it is in seconds, we use usleep....

those errors are zma complaining that zmc isn't running.

So why isn't zmc running?

What is your Options -> System -> WATCH_MAX_DELAY ? Might have to be higher. Mine is at 45.

End Date/Time has a value like 2019-01-20 12:34:56

So less than 60min doesn't make sense.
However you can do less than -60min which ZM translates to NOW() - 60mins.

So add a -.

hurray!

That really should work. I'll look into it tomorrow

You seem to not have a Logs table. That's pretty weird. cutnpaste the following into mysql to recreate it. CREATE TABLE `Logs` ( `Id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `TimeKey` decimal(16,6) NOT NULL, `Component` varchar(32) NOT NULL, `ServerId` int(10) unsigned, `Pid` int(10) DEFAULT NULL,...

Please note that zm doesn't use the ffmpeg program, it uses the libraries.

I have actually built ffmpeg for various random distributions and stuck it at zmrepo. You can try that if you want.

deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/ffmpeg eoan/

I have syslog logging set to warning and use logcheck to monitor syslog and email it to me.

So google logcheck and logwatch.

You should only put the word "vaapi" in the DecoderHWAccelName field.

To determine if ffmpeg is using hwaccel correctly you should turn on debugging and watch your zmc logs.

you need ffmpeg built with cuda to use nvidia

Works, you use vaapi for it as well as intel.

Please note that at 720p the cpu reduction was not that impressive.

webcams are fine, they present as local.

Your Logs is red. Have you thought to look there for the reason?

Audio is not supported with local cams at this time. Should happen sometime in 1.35
