Bug with camera links causes long events & incorrect status

Post by marcmerlin »

Now that I found out it's actually a bug of some kind, I should make a different thread with it.

As per http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... 29&t=20745

My only 720p camera (aircam dome via RSTP), is the one generating a lot of fake events, and some are very long (like 3 hours), which sucks a lot of disk when there was no motion (the log shows hours of recording based on events that aren't "motion").

I see cause:
Signal (linked: aircam1Motion: allSignal: Reacquired)
Signal (linked: aircam1Signal: ReacquiredRecovered)
Linked (aircam1Motion: All)

"cause" for sure has wrong data, and I'm also wondering if the same problem is what's causing that stream to record long videos when there was no motion (camera is setup as modect)

This clearly looks like a bug to me. Any idea how to work around it or fix it?

Thanks,
Marc

Now, I think I found what the bug is.
See: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... 68&p=78941

My guess is that ZM wasn't consuming ffmpeg input fast enough, was getting further and further behind, and this in turn was causing other bugs to happen when some queues/buffers filled up.

Is there a bug queue somewhere I can report this in?
