Audio Recording on Ubuntu 18.04.4 using ZM 1.34.2

Post by raymonvdm »

I just upgrade ZoneMinder from 1.32.3 to 1.34.2 and everything seems to be working fine :lol:

I also took the moment to enable audio recording on my Foscam C1 camera`s by switching video writer from X264 Encode to H264 Camera Passthrough and set Whether to store the audio stream when saving an event to Yes

The camera`s are configured as MOCORD so they are recording event with a lenght of 10 minutes

But when i enable the audio recording the event are no longer 10 minutes long. There is audio record by the way. When i disable the audio recording the events are still cut off.

So there seems to be an issue with H264 Camera Passthrough but i don` t know how to trouble shoot

I missed this update but it is set to

EVENT_CLOSE_MODE = Idle


I`m currently running v1.34.9 on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS on a Dell Desktop with Intel Core i3-4160T @ 3.10GHz which seems to help for the CPU load since is supports Intel Quick Sync and it looks like audio is now working sort of okay. I have duplicated a camera and enabled audio and H264 Camera Passthrough with a section length of 300 second and now get videos arround 4:59 and 4:58 of length
