Version 1.37.45. Built package from source.

On the console view in the "Function" column "Offline" frequently appears. It seems to randomly come and go for each of 3 monitors, each of which handles a different camera; I haven't been able to discern a pattern. I haven't noticed this behavior in earlier versions.

In spite of the "Offline" designation, zoneminder displays the real time videos coming from the cameras. Movement in the scenes and the incrementing of the time stamps are shown.

FWIW "FPS Report Interval" is set to 600 frames and all cameras are set to 2 fps. There are no errors appearing in the log view.

There was a recent fix for this, are you actually up to date?

You try increasing the FPS Report Interval temporarily (maybe cut it in half to 300fpshaunt the house) to see if that has any effect on the frequency of the "Offline" reports. A longer interval between checks could be missing hiccups.

Before we weren't taking the report interval into account. Just looking at if the monitor had done an update within a minute. Now we take fps interval into account and so changing it shouldn't affect anything, unless you are not up to date and are still using the 1 minute test. So update.

FWIW This morning (9AM PDT 9 October, 2023) I cloned the master branch and built the (unmodified) package. The "Offline" problem is still there.

Ok I'll see if I can replicate it.

Ah. Apparently the previous fix needed to be duplicated a few lines down. Fixed for real this time. packages building.
