After upgrading to 1.37.x no longer recording video files

Post by lenalogan »

Not sure if i missed something as part of the new monitor settings after upgrading from 1.36.x. In the Recording section i have "Save JPEGs" set to Disabled, and "Video Writer" set to Encode. slope gameFor encoding i am using h265/hevc as OutputCodec and hevc_qsv as the Encoder. with my goal of using the igpu to produce smaller video files and save on storage.

i do see these errors in the logs from time to time, but htey dont appear consistent enough to be the specific cause.

Can't open video codec (hevc_qsv) Internal bug, should not have happened

this one is odd because the directory does exist with all the jpegs; could it be a permission issue creating the video file for some reason?

Could not open input file '/storage/zoneminder/8/2024-08-04/480526/480526-video.mp4' (error 'No such file or directory')

There are a lot of settings to pass to the encoder and each codec has it's own quirks..

I now own a machine that can do hevc encoding so I could do some more testing with it.
