I'm wondering if it is a timezone issue. System time zone has to be the same as set in Options->System->TimeZone. And After you change the system time zone, you have to restart mysql so it picks it up.

What you describe would normally just be an apache cgi config problem that we've seen a million times.

Changing a camera setting shouldnt' affect it though, so that weird.

As always, start by checking your logs.

Set a MaxImageBuffer setting. 1.36 is actually more efficient, but it exposes weaknesses in your system that you were likely ignoring before. Switch to ffmpeg monitor types if you were using remote before. Set MaxImageBuffer, and if you have a large value in ImageBuffers, set that to 3. You are like...

jpeg encoding a 4k image takes a surprising amount of cpu.I'm not surprised it can't to 25fps.

Well then I guess it will work.

CPU is underpowered IMO. So it comes back to how many cameras, which you didn't answer. For recording only, I'm sure it would be fine, but has very limited storage, so you are talking USB or network storage.

You could also consider increasing the maximagebuffer count a little bit. Only recently have we added the ability to actually report what keyframe interval we are actually seeing. Also... if your db can't keep up, then the queues will fill up no matter how high you set maximagebuffer. So yeah, adjus...

So if anyone else wanted this feature (taps the tip jar) you might want to consider a donation. tinymouse's donation covered about 1/8 of my time to make it happen. I'm happy to do it for them, but I know many people have requested this over the years and they were the first to offer to fund it. I f...

Thank you your donation.

The feature has been implemented and is available in today's 1.37 snapshot.

By ping I basically mean post here asking what's up. As it turns out, what I described is pretty much what happened. For some weird reason the pi build was ignoring the new release tag and so didn't build. I have nudged it along, should be built and available in about 15min.

If you are on a pi, and using zmrepo, then they should come automatically with apt upgrade.

If not, then I may have forgotten to build packages for pi or something similar, in which case, give me a ping here and I'll look into it.

How many cameras? One of the other small form factor things might work just as well or better than a PI. The ODROID has interesting options. Other than that, just about anything will do. SEEED has some interesting boxes that I use to do up to 8 cams. https://www.seeedstudio.com/Odyssey-c-2018.html I...

From today's telemetry: 14010 unique active installs. Largest distro use us ubuntu 20.04 95% are running 1.34.22. We believe this is because they are running an aws image that doesn't update itself. Our paid support customers tend to be small to medium commercial or industrial enterprises. Also bank...

Are you willing to pay for this feature? If so I can get it done this week.

If the logs say capturing then it is capturing. The lack of picture means that your apache config is incorrect with respect to cgi-bin. Your logs are likely filled with a message directing you to this section of the docs: http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#why-can-t-i-see-streamed-i...
