Re: Filter has no "Disk Space" choice

The problem with Event Disk Space is that it is per event, not aggregate. What you want hasn't been implemented, although these days we likely have the infrastructure in place to do it.... we have the value you want in the Storage Areas table. So we should be able to add code to select it. This is ...

Re: Filter has no "Disk Space" choice

Event disk space is the one. If you want to limit zm storage to a specific size, the best way is simply make a partition of the size needed. Otherwise set the percentage based on the available size. E.G., if you have 2GB disk, and you want to use 1GB of it, set disk percent to 50 or a bit less. Yea...

Filter has no "Disk Space" choice

Running v1.36.33 via rpmfusion-free-updates on Fedora 38. In the filters, I see no "Disk Space" as an item to compare with - the only ones with Disk in the name that show up are "Disk Blocks", "Disk Percent" and "Event Disk Space". Was it renamed? Otherwise an...

Re: False alarms when the lights goes out (Cam IR light)

You should post a video of what you want to capture too, we can't tell if this is where the motion is expected or if this is where no motion is expected. But, it looks like you should make this a type "preclusive" or add a preclusive zone. Select an area where you expect no motion, and set...

Re: ZMU - Bogus number of lines return from query

Huh, I see the same thing - Chrome causes it to generate that error, Firefox does not.

And I see a zmu -m 1 running.

Re: no "Groups" on web console page

How can I do that for the "admin" user? My admin user does have an * by it, I don't know if that means anything. Edit: I added another user and gave them edit permissions on everything and was able to add a group using that new user. But, I can't change what the "admin" user can ...

what is SourceSecondPath

I see SourceSecondPath in the monitor source setup, but there is no documentation on this that I can find.

What's its purpose?

I was looking to see if I can use a sub-stream for some of my cameras.

Thanks ...

Re: rpmfusion repo

I pushed zm 1.36.8 packages to rpmfusion the day it was released. You have to watch the rpmfusion devel list for package announcements. For example: https://lists.rpmfusion.org/archives/list/rpmfusion-developers@lists.rpmfusion.org/thread/CP2AC3H5TRZBZCCQD5GCEO7EWHNPK4W3/ Thanks, I installed it via...

Re: rpmfusion repo

Any updates on this?

I'm looking to get an update on Fedora 33.

I see 1.36.8 is out though I don't see any announcement, and no updates for it in rpmfusion.

Just wanted to add to this that I have as well modified MariaDB/InnoDB configuration for better disk access
What are you or others modifying with the DB to improve "disk access"?

Re: excessive logging and cannot delete database log entries

Even after a reboot the DB Logs.ibd is still 5.1G.

Given the extent of the problems (excessive logging, requires tuning each source, then uses more CPU and memory, and then there is a memory leak), I am going to to try and downgrade back to 1.34.

Re: Memory Leak/Increase and Choppy events due to Maximum Image Buffer Size

I ended up completely nuking my setup and went back to 1.34 Yeah, after the excessive logging filling up my disk, having to clean that up (about 10-20 events logged per second both the log files themselves and the DB Log table were huge), then modifying options to stop the errors leads to higher CP...

Re: excessive logging and cannot delete database log entries

Now I'm not sure what's happening, I started zm and it added one log entry, and now I can see that one entry in the DB but the DB Logs.ibd is still 5 GiB.

Let me look for some sort of way to shrink the corresponding file.
