[SOLVED]Stream, Video, Thumbnails work. Frames/Stills dont

[DSchwarz]

Hi,

I recently upgraded from 1.29 to 1.30.0 and since then I have a small nuisance... I can't see individual frames in the frame view anymore.

Live Video works fine
so does view events
also when in the event list, thumbnails look just fine

BUT and here comes the but

once click on a thumbnail I get the the frame view (e.g. <host>/zm/index.php?view=frame&eid=34989&fid=27)
and the image is broken.

when tying to open the image seperately (e.g. <host>/zm/index.php?view=image&fid=5271416)
I get an empty page


So.... I am sure i missed something during the update process.... maybe someone could point me in the right direction?

Any help is being appreciated

Linux version?

[DSchwarz]

$ cat /proc/version

Linux version 4.8.11-200.fc24.x86_64 (mockbuild@bkernel01.phx2.fedoraproject.org) (gcc version 6.2.1 20160916 (Red Hat 6.2.1-2) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Mon Nov 28 19:36:57 UTC 2016

Try this.....
stop zoneminder
killall mysqld
restart mysqld
restart zoneminder
force an event to test stills and video.

[DSchwarz]

First of all sorry for the belated reply. We are in the process of renovating the house, so it took some time to find the time....

Anyways, I did as you asked, but it had no effect. Video works, stills don't. Same as before.

[DSchwarz]

Oh well... Guess I have to live with that.

Should I find a solution on my own, I will be coming back to report.

[rockedge]

check to see if the timestamps match. When I have had this problem my mysql data involving the event name and the URL being generated was off. The timestamps were not the same and the directory path to the event jpg's was not being generated to match the actual physical path.

[DSchwarz]

Nope. Sorry. Files and SQL-Data correspond with the events shown.

Hi there.
I'd like to see the web server logs while accessing the frame and image views.
Also try copying the broken image link and then opening it directly in your browser, and then the web server log for that too.

Ok.... we are getting somewhere. Seems to be a disconnted regarding the times. Event 36427 can be found under 13/15/26 NOT 14/15/26.
Timezone maybe? DaylightSavingTime?

I just tiggered an alarm and it gets registered for 20:09:55. This corresponds to the server time which is:

Code: Select all

[root@nostromo ~]# date
Fri Feb 17 20:09:55 UTC 2017

local time is 21:09:55 CET, however. Which is where the frame view expects the images to be.



Edit: Sorry for the late reply. As stated above we are still in the process of renovating the house.

[DSchwarz]

php seems to be set the correct timezone.


vi /etc/php.ini

Code: Select all

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = Europe/Berlin

[rockedge]

Find and look in the my.conf file if any default timezone or time is being set. That is why I suggested earlier stopping and restarting mysql to attempt to sync the time. You may have to delete all the current events in the db and test with a fresh new event.

[DSchwarz]

Changing the default timezone in the mysql server did the trick. Even the old events work now.


However, it wasn't quite as trivial as JUST setting a timezone in the /etc/my.cnf....

Trying that led to the service crash upon start. REASON: the timezone tables in the mysql weren't populated yet. To fix this I had to run the following line in the shell:

Code: Select all

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root mysql -p

Also /etc/my.cnf was not quite the right place to set the timezone. I had to edit /etc/my.cnf.d/mariadb-server.cnf and add the following line in the mysqld section of te config file.

Code: Select all

[mysqld]
default_time_zone=Europe/Berlin

On a side note: I also had to reset my root password for the mysql server since none of my usually used password/patterns worked. I must have had a real brain fart when I was setting up the system. Anyhow... for anyone with the same problem, here is how the reset your root password, should you ever have the need to.
http://tecadmin.net/steps-to-reset-mari ... -in-linux/


Thanks to everyone who help me solving this problem. Thanks a bunch!

[DSchwarz]

Spoke too soon... now neither tumbnails, nor frames work for new events.
For old Events both do indeed work.

I am contenplating either going full UTC with System, Php and Mysql or setting the system the Europe/Berlin as well.

On the one hand I wold prefer to have lokal times, on the other DST can be quite the pain in the butt...

[DSchwarz]

Going full UTC did not work...

Setting Europe/Berlin for the system did the trick however. Here is how to do that on a Fedora machine

Code: Select all

timedatectl set-timezone Europe/Berlin

Even though this works for me now as intended, I feel that this coul dhave been handled a little better by Zoneminder. Not complaining. Just saying a sound system could be a tad better.
