I installed it a few days ago. I thought it was working but had an issue that a HDD failed, I had left the default location and that filled, preventing database writes as well. To try and ensure that the database had not become an issue, I exported just the configuration from the database, removed the existing database and reinstated, copying my configuration in (I beleive that this returned it to a new install plus my camera settings):
Code: Select all
mysql -u root -e "drop database zm;"
mysql -u root -e "create database zm;"
mysql -u root zm < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql
mysql -u root zm < zmdb_configonly_12_13_24.sqlFirstly, every event (at least all those I have looked at) have an old frame as Frame Id 1 (all timed at 08:57:35, which is five seconds after the zoneminder.service was started). I walked in front of the camera ay about 9:49. This generated 72 events from Event-1 at 9:49:17 through to Event-72 at 9:49:27.
All the frames from the 72 events should have been one contiguous event.
One item from the log:
12/13/24 08:57:35.573714 zmc_m1[530656].WAR-zm_packetqueue.cpp/153 [You have set the max video packets in the queue to 25. The queue is full. Either Analysis is not keeping up or your camera's keyframe interval 24 is larger than this setting.]
Noting that the time is the same as the frame that is being repeated. Maximum Image Buffer Size is set to 25 frames and the camera's "I Frame Gap" (which I think is the the key frame interval) is also 25 (on the camera's web interface it must be greater than or equal to 25). I have Image Buffer Size set to 5.
The server is eight cores and has a load of 1.56 (webmin shows 19%) so it should be able to keep up.
During the time that I walked in front of the camera, for each event there is a line:
12/13/24 09:49:18.670369 zmc_m1[530765].WAR-zm_monitor.cpp/2096 [Driveway: 64644 - event 1, has exceeded desired section length. 1734083358 - 1734080255 = 3103 >= 600]
I presume that is because Frame Id 1 is >600 seconds before all the captured frames.
After Event 13, there is also:
12/13/24 09:49:19.709807 zmc_m1[530656].WAR-zm_packetqueue.cpp/173 [Found locked packet when trying to free up video packets. This means that decoding is not keeping up.]
[This is similar to: viewtopic.php?t=33425 but none of the suggestions in there have helped me to resolve this]. I had it all running up until some months ago on Centos 8, but the OS got corrupted and I've just got around to re-installing it.
Secondly, When I click on the "Frames" option I can see thumbnails but when I then click on a frame to view it, I get a blank screen. I can view the images directly on the server in the appropriate Event folder so they do exist.
Grateful any help to sort these issues.
