OK, I think I've figured it out. Posting details here for the next person who needs it. I believe that in my lowres trigger/highres passthrough setup the Frames records being generated and associated with events of the passthrough monitor is for the purpose of marking the timeline with detections ...

For your cameras under Storage, do you have Save JPEGs disabled? Of course, and i don't have any of frames saved to hdd, only short videos. I think database "frames" pointing to time in video by "delta" field and extract frames from video. But well, it's not the problem, i guess i don't need frames ...

What other settings do you change from the default? I have been running for years without the DB bloating. I typically have ~300k events. Hello, almost everything is default, but i disabled zmaudit that time (now i enabled it with period of 1 week) well... i have about 10к events in 2 days, so in a ...

okay, made BULK_FRAME_INTERVAL 10000, hope it will help

Hello. This is really annoying because i tired of restoring system every time. I'm using external triggers and passthrough, so there are no decoding and any frames, but zoneminder writes to database info of EVERY SINGLE NON EXISTING FRAME, until database become bigger and bigger (frames.idb) 30gb ...

Sorry, seems problem in ipc firmware autoupdate, after downgrading firmware one step, weird incompatibility problem disappeared. With some oldest ipc firmware versions I've got "No width and height in video stream. Trying again" error, so there must be something wrong. Looks like there are broken ...

Can see many differences in 1.34.26, 1.36.33, 1.37.43 in zm_videostore.cpp, maybe it's about this remark in 1.37.43 "// Special flag to tell us to open a codec to get new extraflags to fix weird h265". I'll check 1.37.43 My cameras doesn't have h264 at all, only h265 But it's pity there are no ...

Still have same issue. Changing ipc params not have result. At server start everything works fine, but after ~12hours of work recorded files has same time problem, file has all frames, but it doesn't has correct time length tag or something in properties, restarting zoneminder helps for next 12 ...

Simple nodejs script for zoneminder with mariadb and Xiongmai ipc. ipc has alarm server option turned on and send json message there when motion has been detected... Nodejs listen for messages and checking monitor id in zoneminder database once it occurred... Nodejs send telnet command to start/stop ...

ram optimization is cool, because I've killed my ssd previously after 1PB of writes of swap I believe:?

I think with Passthrough enabled encoding settings doesn't has any impact, like "FFMPEG_OUTPUT_OPTIONS" or "Optional Encoder Parameters (?)" Maybe some network error... "H264 Camera Passthrough – this option assumes that the camera is already sending an h264 stream. Video will be recorded as is, ...

Or maybe when I imported/exported settings from database with dbeaver something was a bit wrong :? ... I will fix and watch for now... But guess it's not issue, there must be default value if nothing has passed, and in past there was also problems... Maybe something about "frag_keyframe" option, don ...

Hello, after updating/fresh installation to 1.36.33 (I believe.. or I've played with I-frame in camera settings?.. not remember) sometimes have this problem. I'm using Camera Passthrough only and video wrote wrongly randomly?, it's playing in K-Lite Codec Pack Media Player (but without timeline) and ...

Hello, has something changed in 1.36 with pre event memory consumption? In the past it was huge, but now by increasing this parameter up to 50 frames memory consumption is still about 6%, so is something optimized? Guess I will rise it to 300 frames
Looks like something was fixed... looks cool
