Ic0n I can confirm that the events are being left with no end time and can reproduce. Just changing a Monitor from Record to Monitor when in the middle of an event will leave that current event without an end time. The nature of what Corvus was doing from Home Assistant was to stop and start the mo...

Give me a couple of days to setup unraid and zm container, mainly as I am busy at the moment.

Cool, I just joined. Thanks!

No problem, let me know when you get around to it.

I think I will have to install Unraid and see I can do some instructions, very challenging teaching someone how to use Linux via a forum. You got discord or slack? Maybe we can swap to one of them and DM, and maybe a remote session if that helps. I'd really appreciate that. Sure, I've got Discord. ...

Yep turn it back on and do another test see if we get some debug entries in the log. So I just did that and... I don't think it did anything different. The logs are still full of 'INF' type entries. https://pastebin.com/Sx026XbZ I've even loaded up Krusader (GUI file management container) in Unraid...

Remove DecoderHWAccelName = Cuda from Monitor as that is only throwing an error. Not the one stopping it working but still something less to clutter logs. Ok done. OK so looks like you cannot logon to the container, not sure if that is specific to Unraid. Or just you don't know how, but I am not th...

No worries mate happy to help someone who is appreciative of the assistance. Thank you for the assistance. Happy to throw a donation your way after this is all over. 1. Google Grep for better description but the idea of "cat syslog | grep zmc" was to only output lines of your log file tha...

Geez you said treat you like a 5 year old, I have a little fun and you complain. But look we managed to get you past the first hurdle and can see you have an issue being logged. Now I am going super simple as I really have no idea of your ability or experience. If you say I am comfortable with Linu...

Out of interest does it work correctly when you are not flipping switches with Record and Monitor mode? Like put the camera on record and let it reach an end point on its own and write the event out. I think the default is 600 seconds, but you can check it in Section Length on the Misc tab of the M...

There is no VM, but the Docker container is the closest thing to that. Bit like a VM with no kernel, as it uses the kernel of the OS on the host.

Yes, correct.

For all intents and purposes, treat it as a VM.

Any takers?

What is the operating system that you're running on? Is it a new install? Also helpful to know would be what hardware you're using. Really need to know what environment ZM is operating in. Is this problem happening only when using Home Assistant (I have zero knowledge of HA)? Is this a new integrat...

I'm not running 1.36 (running 1.34), but... Check your system log files. I had a similar issue a few days ago. Events weren't being ended: was generating huge video files! I'd thought that ZM's database was corrupted so I restored some older ones only to find that that didn't solve the problem. Pok...

zmaudit.pl is cleaning up. You should turn it off. I think I responded to you in the chat box, but the lack of EndTime means that zmc CRASHED before it could update the db entry. Your logs will have the answers. It may be that finishing the event is taking too long and zmdc.pl is killing zmc. Maybe...

I'd suggest checking the logs, upping the debug level on those. Doing a quick grep on the source files suggests zmrecover.pl or zmaudit.pl could potentially add the recovered text. I think this is likely not the cause. Sorry but that may as well have been ancient Greek to me. Can you explain it lik...

I just tried manually switching it from 'monitor' to 'record', then waiting a minute, then switching back to 'monitor'.

My previous events now have an end time, and they say 'recovered' underneath them - and my new event now has no end time.

Anyone have any idea what's going on here??

Just tested this on a 1.36.5 install. Manually changed to record and back to monitor about a minute later. Has an end time. Appears in the logs - Monitor-1: image_count:1282 - Closing event 1669, shutting down Ok, well that's great for you, but why isn't mine doing the same? How can I fix this?
