Tons of issues since upgrading from 1.34

[wdizzle]

Running Ubuntu 18.04 server. Everything was mostly fine on 1.34.26. Upgraded this past weekend and everything seemed to go ok with it. No errors or anything.

Now most of my cameras constantly drop in and out. /dev/shm is only using 1-2% of the available memory (around 60mb of 6gb) where it seemed like it was alot higher on the previous version. I see these errors constantly every few seconds in the logfile.

Connecting to one of the effected cameras results in a frequent "Unable to connect to monitor" message, and even more errors in the log.

Fortunately this is a virtual machine and I took a snapshot so if my only option is to roll back I will, but would like to see if I can unbork this first.

[dougmccrary]

A lot changed, as you can see.
I'd suggest you roll back for now, and set up another machine to experiment with.
FFmpeg and buffers - maximum image buffer size is recommended to 0, unlimited.
Storage options are changed, especially if you're not using passthrough - video writer - encode, output codec h264, Encoder libx264 for that sort of camera. EtC. EtC....

[wdizzle]

Probably solid advice. I exported the VM to a backup and rolled it back. If anybody has any suggestions I can pause the working one, fire up the broken one and try it. For some reason after rolling back I get this a ton in the log.

Doesn't seem to effect anything though.

Have you tried clearing out your browser cache/cookies for the ZM domain?

what does your 'source' config look like for that monitor? It says you have it set to 1920x1440 but the image being sent is 4k ish? also complaining about ffmpeg options being sent its way. I would start there.
