Yay!

Nothing screams at me there...may as well forget HWaccel for now. Last I heard and tried it, wasn't much help.
If you put that camera address in VLC, what does it report for the codec? 720 x 1280?

OK. I said jammy bc you were pulling noble. My bad.
So it seems something is wrong with your 22.04 install. It's thinking it's noble, but if it is, there is no noble package. So you can't ignore the error.
There is a jammy package, which is what it should be asking for.

but nothing changed.

Did you either restart zm or reboot?
How many cores on this machine?
What is the camera sending and how is zm configured for it?

yeah, you're right. I suggest you just use jammy instead, for now.

Do you have a reason to use video writer encode? Use passthrough if not.

Although you do still have to check the little save audio box as well...

Just a note - if you were running anything less than 1.37.60, what I said before was sorta true for me. But yesterday's .60 seems better. I'm about to get today's .60.

Check Maximum Image Buffer Size (frames) (?) - 0 is unlimited. AFAIK, that's all you can do, although there may be something specific to your card that can be adjusted, maybe in a config file.

Pretty much, yes. Unless it got much worse for you the last few builds. Been a problem since 1.34 - code name The Memory Remains

In my firewall i allowed udp/tcp traffic on port 554, do it need more rules?

No. Most firewalls only block unrequested traffic. ZM is requesting from the camera, so the firewall should have no effect.

Speaking of udp/tcp, did you try both with your camera? Some only work one or the other.

Do you have a procedure in order to reduce the fps when capturing images different than the "Maximum FPS" and "Alarm Maximum FPS"? When I try to use them I have the well known issues regarding them. I seems to work for me in 1.36 and 1.37. And where you do the manual ffmpeg, I m...

Maybe you can fix the IP in your router. Check to see if there is a way to assign an IP address based on the camera MAC address(s).

Did you ever get it working?

Arlo cameras are not compatible with zm because they do not stream.
