Events show 0.00 duration but images are being recorded.

[theforce]

I upgraded my Ubuntu 10.04 yesterday and now my events are showing a 0.00 duration and no frames. I did a regular dist-upgrade. My cameras are setup as Modect. If I force an alarm I get a duration and can view the recording. On the 0.00 duration and no frame events I can look at the hard drive and view the images individually.

Does anyone know what is going on and how to fix it?

I'm in the process of testing out Kubuntu 12.04 and the new 1.25 zoneminder on another box. Would I be better off just upgrading instead of fixing this issue?

I will check the logs (usually /var/log/syslog), or the log that ZM provides.

Lots of errors like this are in the log.

If you are using a Foscam IP Cam or a clone, it's a know bug. Try to upgrade the FW of the camera.

Its a clone and there are no updated firmware for them. I don't think this has anything to do with the issue I'm having sine from what I've read that error is just an error but things still work.

Why would it be working perfectly fine for over a year and a few days ago when I did a distribution update it stopped working? The images are being written to disk but inside zoneminder it shows a 0.00 duration and 0 frames for recorded events.

Going through the log I found some different things.

So database corruption? How would I go about fixing that? Currently searching for a solution. If anyone can help please post. If I find a solution I'll post.

FIXED!!!!

I'm not going to be an ass like some that post about they fixed their issue and not say what they did so here is my solution.


sudo /etc/init.d/zoneminder stop

sudo mysqlcheck --all-databases --auto-repair -pzmpass -u zmuser

sudo /etc/init.d/zonminder restart


Everyting is now showing up now. Thanks for the help and pointing me in the right direction with the logs.
