Video choppy - low framerate?

Post by junicast »

Hi

I'm new to Zoneminder. After tinkering around a bit with a docker container and an Installation method through Ansible I decided to install manually in Ubuntu 22.04. Now I'm on 1.36.33-jammy1 and ffmpeg 7:4.4.2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1.

In containerized and also Ansible install method I did not suffer the following phenomenon. The video shown from the Moniitors is always choppy even when I set the framerate on the camera to something like 25 or 30. The WebGUI somehow always shows something around 15 fps, sometimes a bit lower, somtimes a bit higher. The video is always very choppy though. It's hardly enough for a decent surveillance.

I tinkered around with every option I thought might be relevant and I searched for similar issues but the problem remains the same.

Could someone please point me into the right direction.
Thank you!

Edit:
I forgot to mention that my zoneminder host is virtualized. The load is steady around 0.3.
