Idk... I got it into a "usable" state, but it is still far from perfect. Analysis barely keeps up, but I'm exhausted from such a simple project for very unimpressive results. I understand this program can be very good and amazing, and is built by people with a passion... But I suppose it isn't for ...

Decoding still wasn't keeping up even though the errors had lessened, my filter wasn't triggering properly either. I then created a substream monitor, tried doing mocord on that and linking it to the main one, still no success. Decoding STILL isn't keeping up on a 704x576 stream... so something is ...

I've changed camera to Encode 264, 265, 265+, no change. I've set 265 on camera webgui settings, no change. Setting the camera as Passthrough helped a decent chunk, still get the same errors about every 5 mins though (also filter 5 seems to be buggin dunno why but ignore the errors): 3/13/25, 8:47 ...

I'm back with a slight update. Bought a new camera, set it up, and am getting lots of these errors: 3/11/25, 6:30:06 PM CDT zmc_m1 1745 WAR Found locked packet when trying to free up video packets. This means that decoding is not keeping up. zm_packetqueue.cpp 173 3/11/25, 6:30:06 PM CDT zmc_m1 1745 ...

Yep.. after rebooting and everything, then factory resetting, updating firmware, factory resetting again, still no live feed when accessing camera directly. Only 6ish months year old but I guess if you buy cheap, you get cheap :oops: After about 30 mins it came back online! Unless i change NTP ...

Updated to 1.36.35, and ran zmupdate.pl, still haven't seen any improvements. Monitor is just on Monitor function and this is all I'm getting at this point. I rebooted the camera and got a visual for a few seconds, then back to disconnecting on repeat. This now seems like a camera issue, as I cannot ...

Even in Record with no Analysis it is struggling worse and worse. I want to like this program and support it as best as I can.. but it surely seems like a second job at times like this

Still getting intermitent connection. I even doubled the CPU cores to 8 and it is not even struggling... Events look like they're ending properly now though, that is most likely due to the version upgrade I would assume. They should be 5mins in length in Mocord/Record.

Following this article and running the script was able to upgrade me to 1.36.35! I will do some testing and see if anything improves.

There is a known issue in .33. Fixed in .34. We are now at .35 and soon to release .36. Further, your machine is not able to keep up, hence it falls behind. You need to look at reducind cpu use. You can set the widthxheight lower, recording will still be high res. You can turn off jpeg writing ...

I disabled the monitor and got a bunch of fun errors repeating over and over, not sure if expected or not: 3/4/25, 5:32:07 PM CST zms_m1 1585 ERR Unable to connect to monitor id 1 for streaming zm_stream.cpp 60 3/4/25, 5:32:07 PM CST zms_m1 1585 ERR Can't open memory map file /dev/shm/zm.mmap.1: No ...

I reduced the buffers by advice of another post... and now the issue seems worse. And analysis seems to be at 0 fps with load being much higher than expected. Watching the camera from it's web config the stream is consistent and fine. However in zoneminder it loses connection repeatedly and restarts ...

So it seems like sporadic disconnects to the camera, monitor goes black and then I get "Monitor SHM is not connected" errors in the logs
