Hi I have ZoneMinder v1.22.3 running on Fedora Core 6 with one monitor and I am using a TV capture card for input. It was working fine but now when it detects alarms it creates an event but it is 0 seconds long. Does anybody have any ideas what it could be?

Thanks

Check for a corrupted database.

Hi just looked into it a bit more. If I force an alarm it works fine and it is named "Event-3194"

All of the other alarms caused by motion detect are named "New Event", secs "0.00", frames "/", score "0/0".

Any idea's could it still be a currupt database. How do I check/repair it?

My linux/mysql skills are very limited. It was a big enough struggle getting it set up in the first place :(

That is the broke database. The events table is crashed.
