Re: No Event Playback Without Camera Restart

It's "Camera Passthrough", but I do have this option which I guess probably does nothing since it isn't encoding: movflags=frag_custom+dash+delay_moov Not sure if it's important but "save jpegs" is disabled. Hmm, maybe it's just a fault with this particular camera? Just a camera ...

Re: No Event Playback Without Camera Restart

Yes, oddly there is nothing in the logs that I can tell. I don't have any debug logging on so maybe that would help? Any advice on which functions I should turn on? I do a software restart on the camera. I couldn't find anything with my Googling (duck duck go ing really) for my camera but came up em...

No Event Playback Without Camera Restart

Hello! I have an odd problem that has been going on for a long time and through multiple versions of Zoneminder. I think it's a problem with my camera but I wanted to ask the experts here. After "a while" (not sure how long) I can no longer play back events captured in ZM in either the web...

Re: brand new install 36.12 and Bionic - timezone not set correctly

Granted, I use a Docker image, but I had an issue with the time zone also. The Docker image uses Ubuntu as a base and I execute the following to fix the timezone in the container: ENV TZ America/New_York RUN echo $TZ>/etc/timezone && cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/${TZ} /etc/localtime; sed -i -E 's,...

Live View Fails [SOLVED]

Hello! I'm having an issue where the live view from my one and only camera is failing to show. The feed is partially loaded and then errors, then the next frame is again partially loaded and fails again. I upgraded from version 1.36.5 to the latest version (1.36.12) today hoping to fix the issue but...

Event Playback Fails

Hi everyone! I have an issue I'm hoping someone can help me with. I have an install of Zoneminder version 1.36.5. Just recently my system stopped attaching thumbnails of alarm frames to email notifications even though I've made no changes to my system. I checked the server and the thumbnails are not...

Re: Filter - odd behavior with "and" and "or"

When I created my filters based on relative time, I found this documentation page incredibly helpful: https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/userguide/filterevents.html#relative-items-in-date-strings . In addition to other criteria, my relative line worked out to be: End Date/Time greater than ...

Re: Buffer Overrun

I'm fairly sure I also ran into this issue when I did an upgrade recently. I don't really remember if this is the solution I found or not, but IIRC I had to change my camera settings in the 'Source' tab. In particular, I had to change 'Target colorspace' to '24 bit color' because it was set to '32 b...

Jumpy Timeline Loading - Mismatched Motion Detection

Hello everyone! I recently upgraded from ZoneMinder 1.34.x to 1.35.2 on Ubuntu 18.04 using the official PPA. After the upgrade, the timeline when viewing events is jumpy, causing a mismatch in the portion flagged with motion until the entire timeline is loaded on the viewing client. I think it's bec...

Re: Amlogic S905 VPU Support for H.264

Very cool! It turns out you are correct; ffmpeg has included support since 3.4 for the v4l2, which is what the SoC includes. I appreciate your support and I'll give it a try. I'm sure I'll have some questions for you!

Hello, I am using an Odroid C2 for my Zoneminder server. It is a small SBC that includes the Amlogic S905 ARM processor. At the moment, it runs ok with my one camera setup with a few caveats: - mysql runs on a different computer - The event files and httpd log storage is over NFS to another computer...

Re: Docker - camera processes crashing

According to the 'Defining Monitors' readthedocs page ( https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/stable/userguide/definemonitor.html ) for the 'remote' source type, If you camera does speak RTSP then you should change your source type to ffmpeg instead of selecting RTSP here. The Remote -> RTSP method i...

Re: Zones and PTZ

Thanks for the ideas rockedge! Good to know I wasn't off base about the camera movement. It would be an awesome feature to be able to automatically disable motion detection during a camera control event, and maybe automatically re-enabling once the camera is returned to a preset or something. Also w...
