Events don't have end times
So I have zoneminder v1.36.33 running on Debian 12, some times events seem to be fine and are 10minutes long and the next event starts immediately after the previous one ends. Its supposed to be just continuously recording. Most of the time I get a whole bunch of small events which is missing time between them. Also my purge doesn't work since it looks at end time so my hard drive fills up. Anyone have any suggestions? I tried looking in the log and didn't see anything that I seemed to line up with the events.

Re: Events don't have end times
So I changed that and it gives longer events but now I'm finding the errors in the log.
Screen shot of error log. I think something is wrong with my server and causing everything to lock up which causes the event to fail.

Re: Events don't have end times
Typically I see events not able to fully record when there are CPU / resource limitations. Alternatively, if you have a camera that is not supported well by FFMPEG / ZM that could cause an issue. What make / model camera?

fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl
