Just updated to 1.37.43 (zoneminder:amd64 (1.37.43~20230825124927-jammy) and cameras stopped working/recording. Looks like ZoneMinder will try to connect to the cameras and maybe get an image or two then stop. Everything was working normally prior to the update (1.37.42~20230810110346-jammy).


ZoneMinder console shows: I cleared out all of my events prior to upgrading, which is why there's none shown.

The Log is showing that it's killing zmc constantly, see the following snippet. This is repeated over and over: Monitoring the processes, zmc appears to start, jump to near full cpu usage and then gets killed about a minute after starting:

Same here, with yesterday's build.

I had the same issue, with the update from 9th September.

I found that if I disable the recording of audio with the "Whether to store the audio stream when saving an event." check box then my cpu load goes back to normal and it records and I can preview the live feeds again.

I noticed the latest version has something in it to do with audio streams with ffmpeg, perhaps its something to do with that?

Thank you and good catch! Turning off the "Whether to store the audio stream when saving an event." on all my cameras allowed normal recording and playback to work as expected (without audio of course).

Quick update. There was a new build available (1.37.43~20230911114421-jammy), after installation I can enable recording audio again and things seem to be working smoothly (so far).

Any events (hour, day, etc...) not show now.

Replacing back from diff in file /web/ajax/events.php. Work correct.

- if ($filter->limit() and !count($filter->post_sql_conditions())) {
+ if (int($filter->limit()) and !count($filter->post_sql_conditions())) {

Looks like the ubuntu repo is somehow fixed now. (jammy, anyway)

Can confirm I had this same problem too, and this also fixed it.

Is it recording audio for you since this update? I just updated mine to the same version, and enabled recording audio, but dont seem to have any audio. Using mediainfo the mp4 file doesn't have an audio track.

After doing the ajax fix above, I downloaded an event and you are correct - no audio track available.

Last build zoneminder-1.37.43~20230912090755 corrects Ajax problem.
Thanks to Iconnor.

Sorry for the sloppy commits.

Now about this audio, can we confirm that it stopped working?

Yep, its not recording the audio on my camera anymore. It used to before the recent updates.

Using mediainfo, it shows just the Video stream.

Today's latest build should fix the audio recording.
