Zone Minder is repeating frames

[mahendrar]

Thanks James,

When we add a new monitor that time the value in the misc tab for maximum fps is set to the 0.00.

For this value the result was same( means i got problems related to the misorder of the frames).

Then i changed this value to the 10.00 for no good results.

Why this is happening only to me though i have not chnaged any default configuration of ZM.

Thanks in advance for your reply,
Mahendra.

The defaults are just that, defaults. They are not necessarily going to work for everyone. Each system is different and though many systems work just using the defaults, some systems will be faster and some will be slower and may need to be tuned a bit. I suspect you either have very fast capture or a slightly slower system and so it needs a few tweaks.

have you tried entering something slower, i have never had a need for anything faster (yet) than 5 fps per input so i normally use 2 as this is sufficent for most needs and keeps the load down on the server. If you try 2 what do you get then?

Thaks James for your quick replies,

As you asked me i put .01 as the maximum fps and what i am getting in /var/log/messages is:

Nov 11 02:32:57 nfs zmc_m1[23650]: INF [New: 87200 - Capturing at 9.76 fps]
Nov 11 02:33:12 nfs zma_m1[24026]: INF [New: 400 - Processing at 10.00 fps]
Nov 11 02:33:38 nfs zmc_m1[23650]: INF [New: 87600 - Capturing at 9.76 fps]
Nov 11 02:33:52 nfs zma_m1[24026]: INF [New: 800 - Processing at 10.00 fps]
Nov 11 02:34:19 nfs zmc_m1[23650]: INF [New: 88000 - Capturing at 9.76 fps]
Nov 11 02:34:32 nfs zma_m1[24026]: INF [New: 1200 - Processing at 10.00 fps]
Nov 11 02:35:00 nfs zmc_m1[23650]: INF [New: 88400 - Capturing at 9.76 fps]
Nov 11 02:35:13 nfs zma_m1[24026]: INF [New: 1600 - Processing at 9.76 fps]

Now i am not getting those buffer overrun warnings.I will test it today and come to you if i get this problem again.

Thanks,

Mahendra.

there is something amis here if you have entered a frame limit of 0.01 and you are captring at 10 fps! Have a look at how many frames you actually capture. I think we do have a problem here somewhere
