Sorry for the delay in response. Here's the github repo for the ZM archiver/time-lapse utility:

Hope it's of use to someone.

I realize this discussion is over a year old, but I just replied to another post related to time lapse video you should take a look at:

If I may offer up an alternative way of achieving time lapse video with ZM... Not that the method you folks have discussed won't work, I'm sure it will, but this, IMHO, is a better of achieving the same ends: Forget mucking with your cameras or monitor setting in any way. Set up your cameras and ...

You have a good point about the HW decoding cards all but gone. But setting to a really low FPS like 5 you can really miss faster motion events, like someone walking really fast or running across the scene. zma might not even detect the motion, or even if it did it might only capture 2 or a few ...

BTW, I didn't mention that I did up the RGB setting for the monitor to 32 and I didn't get that error message in the log and the monitor continued to display just fine, so that's confirmation that the ZM pkg I have is compiled against libjpeg-turbo. I also did one other experiment... I reduced the ...

Thanks very much for your quick reply. Ok, I see. Well it certainly makes sense that libjpeg-turbo is now built-in. The reason I didn't think it was built in because when I examined the /procs/{pid}/maps for zmc it listed libjpeg: $ ps -ef | grep zmc www-data 26211 5783 10 08:53 ? 00:01:11 /usr/bin ...

Hi all, I searched for this in 1.30.x board but didn't find any references to libjpeg-turbo issues. I have installed ZM 1.30.0 as per the "easy" installation instructions on Ubuntu 14.04, so using ppa:iconnor/zoneminder. Everything is working as it should and I can see my monitors and events ...

It's funny that you like "N days ago" better. Since I'm a bit of a programmer, I like "-N days" because if I write "less than 10 days ago" that implies (to me) "within the last 10 days". But if I write "less than -10 days" I revert back to programmer mode which says "a value lower than the ...

I think this is covered in the wiki, but you can use: Date/Time -> less than -> -90 days should achieve the desired result. Yes, this seems to work great. I've tried it with "90 days ago" as well and it appears to have the same results and frankly is more natural than "-90 days". However, it ...

Folks, As per usual I did a search for this but I don't see any good answers. Using v1.23.3... In the Event Filter window... If I want to set up a filter that searches for event records older than 3 moths (for example), what are the proper parameters for that screen? Obviously "Date" from the 1st ...

Just to close the loop on this... I resolved my ffmpeg make install issue for SVN rev 11879 (the rev mudpuddy's wiki page recommends). Yipee!!! :D There were some faulty MakeFile lines in that rev having to do with whether or not you excluded libswscale in your configure line. Even if you didn't use ...

mudputty, the rev of ffmpeg you list on your wiki page, 11879, has problems, not at config or make time, but at make install. I posted a discussion page on the wiki. The only rev of ffmpeg I've been able to successfully config/make/install and run is the very latest from their trunk. Of course, is ...

I know it's been a while since I posted this, but does anyone have any idea what the cause of this issue might be?

It's still occurring and I sure would like to know why.

Thanks,
