I solved this by examining the Lite.pm file and seeing that there are two methods of sending supported, with this MIME module being halfway deprecated. ssmtp is the other method, so I installed that and its dependencies, and everything is working now.

Hi, After upgrading to 1.36 (actually, a clean install, restoring DB from backup of an older version) I'm getting this error in the logs when a notification email is supposed to be sent by a filter: 07/06/2021 22:19:29.451385 zmfilter[423574].INF [main:179] [Scanning for events using filter ...

Many thanks. This did the trick. I wasn't sure if I would be able to disable JPEG capture and still see individual frames, but this does indeed work perfectly. I'm now debating whether I want to run my CPU higher and do the encoding or run the hard drive harder and save all the images (although it's ...

Hi, I'm a longtime zm user, but had been stuck on an old version (1.28?) for a while. I recently upgraded and started fiddling with the source settings. I've historically used only JPEG storage, but I would like to move to using the video writer only, to reduce I/O load. However, the "auto" setting ...

In case this helps someone, my issue was with proxy_redirect being passed a full URL rather than just a path. ZM now only sends /zm in the Location header, not a full host, so it wasn't matching. This must have changed since 1.28, which is what I upgraded from. Also, I commented out proxy_redirect ...

Hi all, I very recently upgraded from 1.28 where I had everything working properly as follows: Zoneminder hosted on port 81 of local server (ie. http://192.168.11.42:81/zm) Nginx reverse proxy exposes Zoneminder and encrypts traffic: https:/mydomain.com/zm-obfuscated Since upgrading from 1.32 ...

Thanks for the suggestions. I followed the quickstart instructions (easy way) here: https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installationguide/ubuntu.html#easy-way-ubuntu-16-04 I ended up with a fresh install on the bare metal machine I purchased to be my monitoring box. Although it has the same ...

I cranked up debug level on both MySQL and ZM, but all I can figure is that it seems like ZM is having trouble keeping its connection to MySQL? I'm running a stock install of Ubuntu 16.04 with MySQL 5.7. zmc_m3.log 08/10/18 08:18:13.618305 zmc_m3[116941].INF-zmc.cpp/247 [Starting Capture version 1 ...

Hi all, I've been having with ZM 1.30.4 stopping after a couple of days, and then refusing to start again. I've turned on all the debugging logs, and the best I can gather is that the zmc processes don't want to restart, or maybe it's an issue with MySQL. I see a lot of MySQL errors, but it's not ...

Thanks for these details and suggestions! Super helpful. I had an installer over today, so here's some more details, in case it helps someone else on a similar project, as well as a few follow-up questions. Here in Southern CA, I found a highly rated alarm/video camera installer on Yelp, and they ...

Hi all, I'm fairly experienced with Linux and even setup Zoneminder successfully about 8 years ago to monitor my cat at home, just as a fun project. I'm now looking to use Zoneminder for home security, and have thought through various aspects, but wanted to see if others have advice on anything here ...
