Problem clicking to a specific spot during event playback

[ZMBrian]

I'm currently using 1.36.32, but this problem has persisted for me through several previous versions of 1.36 (and maybe even earlier). I did not have this problem with versions from about 3-4 years ago.

My cameras are in MOCORD recording at 10 min event intervals. During event playback, there is a playback progress bar (for lack of a better description) at the bottom that highlights detected motion in red. I can not click to anything early in the playback within about the first 2 minutes 20 seconds, it will simply go to the end of the recording. I can click to any point in the playback after about 2 minutes 20 seconds without issue. This is frustrating because if motion is detected at about the 2 minute mark, I have to wait the full 2 minutes to see it, I can't click ahead to right before the motion detection. If I do, it goes to the very end of the recording. Is this a known issue? Is there a work around?

Not a known issue. I reworked a lot of that code in master... might be interesting to see if it does it. I reworked it because it was kinda broken so it may be that I have not merged something back to 1.36.

Hi Iconnor, and the Otherones,

problem definition:
you must mocord, and you take it - no mather what time and what speed you need, everything fa.k you =)
you not be abble take more than 1x speed and it is big problem to change a time position

FWIW, I'm not seeing this. I'm curious about your record settings, because I HAVE seen it, but fixed by changing record settings. Or so as I recall - it's been awhile.
And you are talking about recordings made by the current version ZM, not some old recording, I trust.

hi dougmccrary
where is "record settings"?
there is camera/source or options, but nowhere something like "record"

[dougmccrary]

Yeah, sorry about that - Storage tab for the camera/monitor. Video Writer
Some cams seem to not work well with camera passthrough. One of mine is Encode, Auto, libx264 for e.g.

[raptor320d]

okok, i feeel it, this will be the problem, you can punch me
settings is:

• Storage area: my one
  [--]from there, everyting is default[--]
• Save JPEGs: Frames + Analysis images (if avail.)
• Video Writer: disabled
• Optional Encoder Parameters (?): # Lines beginning with # are a comment
  # For changing quality, use the crf option
  # 1 is best, 51 is worst quality
  crf=23

the last one - it is true?

second problem: why the timestamp disapears, it is still set

[dougmccrary]

Save .jpgs is useful for reviewing zone settings. You can turn that off or just to anlaysis images only.
Then turn on encoding with auto auto - that will enable your timestamp to be recorded.
Also, while it's not supposed to cause problems, it seems to help to remove those comments above crf=36
Let it run awhile and see what you get.

BTW, I'm not sure how long, if ever, it takes debug settings to get read, but a restart does it.

[raptor320d]

problem is suppressed, i setup x254 codec, with "auto" it doesnt work properly.
it works, but the cursor hopping when i set some time (position)
but works

second problem with timestamph was like this:
viewtopic.php?t=30228
in the log in gui i can see that defalut font is in the ./zoneminder/fonts instead of /zoneminder/www/fonts

thanks dougmccrary

the problem is almost the same,
i can select any position, BUT, "mocord" record in 10 minutes block.
every video seem to be 9:59 in the description, but when i try to see it, it have only about 15 sec.

setting is:
Save JPEGs: Frames + analysis
Video Writer: encode
h254
libx254
Optional Encoder Parameters (?): # Lines beginning with # are a comment
# For changing quality, use the crf option
# 1 is best, 51 is worst quality
#crf=23

almost the same like version 1.34
please help

probably drop JPEGs to analysis only
In optional params, just "crf=23" no quotes
Options->Config has EVENT_CLOSE_MODE time ?
