Unfortunately - I can write to this folder, locally by common user and remotely - via samba. And yes, www-data is the user zoneminder is working on. And now the strangest part: I've "hacked" the system - removed original events directory and created it as a link to /mnt/storage. And... it works as ...

Here's the result:

# mount | grep storage
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/storage type ext4 (rw,relatime)
I still do not see anything suspicious here. No idea how to debug it.

Thank you.

And as you said - logs pointed me into this.

However it is really courious that timezone issue blocks video...

Hi. I have freshly installed instance of zm (1.36), on ubuntu 22.04. Added two cameras and looks working, but only without users control (when OPT_USE_AUTH is disabled). When I enable it, I cannot see any camera view. For all users, instead of mini view (console - cam list) or normal view I see only ...
