ZoneMinder Forums

I updated an older script to work with zoneminder 1.34 passthrough to export videos between start and stop times.

Since I exclusively use mocord, there is an "Alarm" option which will only export the alarms in a continuous videos between the start and stop times. Great to see 24 hours of accelerated alarms in a few minutes of video. The "All" option will export a continuous video between a start and stop time. Other ffmpeg processing options are available (speed, fps, size etc.) for time lapse etc.

The script can be used from the command line or with a html front end

The installation instructions are in the repository readme.

Tested on Ubuntu 20.04 with the latest zoneminder 1.34 (ensure the storage area is not null (set to default or other area) [attachment=0]storage.png[/attachment]

This is a great tool, thanks for taking the time to share with everyone.

I am wondering if there are any updates, this script seems to have stopped working with v1.36.5

The script has not been updated for 1.36 yet. I'm still running ZM 1.34.
I know there are some changes in the database from 1.34 to 1.36 (fixed I think) but she SQL queries in the script stopped working under 1.36.
If anyone has SQL experience I could point them to the SQL query which is the problem.

I have not had time to upgrade yet but anticipate doing so in the fall.

The script has been updated for zoneminder 1.36 and tested on Ubuntu 20.04
