ZMA possibly broke in 1.35.5~20200716162846-eoan

[rip]

I upgraded zm master because the previous update had the buffer issue "smearing" the video in some cases. I think that fix broke ZMA.

I have 8 cameras, most 4k and have made no other changes other than apt update/upgrade that pulled 1.35.5~20200716162846-eoan.

Would have posted sooner, but was actually remote and just got home (am here) and first change I had to look into it a little.

It's recording all steams and playing them back fine, just no events are detected or logged (and nothing in highlighted in the montagereview timeline, although you can scrub video there and it works fine.)

I hadn't noticed, but yeah, no alarm frames or score shown since the fix for distorted frames the 16th on all 10 of my mocord cams.
I do have one modect that seems to see and record alarms properly.

Good catch, I should have said mocord....all mine are mocord to catch passing events that might not tigger detection otherwise.

1.35.5~20200714143209-eoan Smearing video
1.35.5~20200716162846-eoan Broke ZMA/Detection
1.35.5~20200721160555-eoan Didn't change status of this issue (not better, not worse)
1.35.5~20200721193536-eoan Broke ALL EVENTS, timeline is like it isn't recording (looks like it wasn't usage was very low), logging anything to SQL, much less analyzing anything. I could watch live events though.

So Rolling back to 1.35.5~20200617125058-eoan for now, which is the last stable one for me.

Backed up database, and as root;

service zoneminder restart      (Probably redundant but makes me feel better)
apt-mark hold zoneminder       (Set the parking brake so we don't accidentally roll downhill.)

Just don't have time this week to go down the rabbit hole.

If it’s not broken, it will be at the most inconvenient time. Please return in original packaging for full refund of purchase price.

It's OK, just have too much going on to chase it right now.

Have a family member that is in and out of the hospital the last couple weeks (4 times, currently in) that could end with them checking out on a more permanent basis (not covid, but that would push them over at this point so ya.)

I normally try to feed back good info to Issac via PM, etc., and have gotten a few things fixed and tossed a little coin his way before, and appreciate how hard he works on it. Not ungrateful, just unable.

1.35.5~20200726223348-eoan straightened this all out, thanks!
