Cannot export events

[Khurram]

I am running ver 1.36.15 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS x64. I am trying to export an event, but when I click on the export button, nothing happens. zoneminder logs to the system log and with 16 ip cameras, the log is getting updates fairly quickly. As far I can, I cannot see any obvious error messages in the syslog. How can I troubleshoot this issue? Also, is it possible to write some sql and extract the jpegs from the mariadb database?

Thanks

Likely fixed in 1.36.16 which is building now.

Ok, I guess it will take sometime before I can install through apt. In the meantime, can I get the jpegs through sql?

Thanks

I just upgraded zoneminder to 1.36.16 but the problem remains. I still cannot download the event

The answer will be in the logs. Look in /var/log/apache2/error.log and /var/log/zm/web_php.log.

There is no entries in apache2/error.log when I click on export. There is no zm/web_php.log; there is a zm/error.log but again this file shows nothing after clicking on export.

In the meantime, I used ffmpeg to create an mpeg from the event jpegs (just search for the event id in your storage area to locate the directory the jpegs are stored in). I used the following command in the jpeg directory:

ffmpeg.exe -f image2 -framerate 8 -i 00%03d-capture.jpg output.mp4

Thanks

Might be worth trying the download icon and see if that has the same problem as export.

Might be worth trying the download icon and see if that has the same problem as export.

I tried it and it generates a zip or a tar file. I downloaded both one by one, but there are no jpegs or video files in the downloaded archive.

Thanks

I just upgraded to 1.36.17 but the export button still does not do anything

Just wanted to mention I have the same issue but on 1.36.7. I can export and download videos but there is no video inside the .zip file.

[davidma]

Just wanted to mention that updating to 1.36.19 seems to fix the issue for me. At least now I can generate a video and download it.

I am also having this issue, the folder downloads but there are no videos. I am on version 1.36.20 running on Ubuntu Server 20.4.
Was there a fix or work around I missed?

Having the same issue of the Export button doing nothing with ZM v1.36.20 on Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS server. Logs seem to indicate there is no event ID supplied, however, I clicked Export from the event page itself, so that log/response makes no sense:

Code: Select all

==> /var/log/zm/web_php.log <==

==> /var/log/apache2/error.log <==

Event ID was in fact 412639 (shown as eid value above). All of the event images were present and the event is viewable via the console.

Any thoughts?

I'm still having the same issue with v1.36.25. The only way I can get video out is by clicking 'generate video' when watching events. There seems be a no way to export events nor download videos, single or multiple directly as in 1.34.xx.
I got the same error [No event id(s) supplied] supplied at /usr/share/zoneminder/www/includes/functions.php line 1880 in /var/log/zm/web_php.log and /var/log/apache2/error.log although not consistently.

Should be fixed in 1.36.26
