api/events/index/MonitorId:1.json "limit" query parameter no longer works in recent versions (and VNC monitor problems)

[MarsRover]

Hello
Starting from 1.37.66~20250612.323-focal call to

Code: Select all

api/events/index/MonitorId:1.json?sort=StartDateTime&direction=desc&limit=1

disregards `limit` query parameter and returns all events (which might take a while).

Code: Select all

VNC monitors are also affected.
Had to downgrade to 1.37.66~20250520.297-focal, all higher versions failed to capture and record VNC monitors with segfaults or

Code: Select all

Could not send frame (error 'Resource temporarily unavailable') zm_videostore.cpp 1255

Events are now unlimited by default, you have to pass limits into the query.

How to downgrade? apt install zoneminder=whatever version you want

How to see what versions are available ? apt-cache madison zoneminder

I realise that you are passing limit... I"m not sure it was ever actually honoured. Maybe it was. THe code that got removed use ZM_EVENTS_PER_PAGE and a hard limit of 100.

I hust added a line to respect a limit param... not sure about the direction= in your url... not sure that is honoured by anything.

Thanks, I'll check if it works later.

The goal of this query is to get only the last/current event.
direction query parameter is documented here https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/la ... ted-events, it's the sort field order, ascending or descending.

It did work before.
