Unable to read packet from stream 0: error -541478725 "End of file"

Post by aag »

Exactly every 53 seconds, I receive this error:

Code: Select all

INF	Unable to read packet from stream 0: error -541478725 "End of file".	zm_ffmpeg_camera.cpp
The stream then recovers, but I see an interruption also in the console. What might be going on?

ZM is installed on an ubuntu server VM hosted by Win11 Hyper-V with 16 virtual processors and ample memory. I've set the frame buffer to 90 (I had it at 9 and it caused queue overflows). The camera is a Hikvision. I have reduced the frame rate and the resolution, but to no avail.

Check zmwatch logs. It might be killing the stream.

The question then becomes why? What is the capture process doing that makes zmwatch think it's dead? Turn on debug logging.
