#zoneminder

I'm trying to get a high res video generated of an event. when I hit generate video if the video is say 56mb it's dowloadable but pixelated for a 10 minute event. if I set the ffmpeg settings to higher resolution and create a larger file when I click download it comes back with "file not found"

hm

N1X0N you will need to go into the event dir and look for the ffpeg.log file which should tell you what went wrong

interesting both scenarios say generation successful. I'm struggling right now with locating the event directory on centos7

try /var/cache/zoneminder/monitorid/year/month/day/hour/minute/second etc

unfortunately for me there's no zoneminder directory in /var/cache/ any other suggestions.... I'm also scavenging the web voraciously looking as well

found it it's under var/lib/zoneminder in centos

rexd666: vivotek has a similar program

definitely something to look into.

hey, new word: cetection

rexd666: How's that shared memory queue going?

or boost

bleh!

I have boost compiling

excellent. I'd love to start refactoring code to use it.

syntactic hell

well I thought it was going to give me dynamic shared memory, but doesn’t. But you can grow it, if no process is accessing it. I was looking for something I can just throw packets in and not have to think too hard

maybe we just need a simple array based linked list

I thought I was almost done with just my queue of AVPackets, it was great queuing and popping, but then realised it was going in and out of scope in ffmpeg_camera so not holding the packets, and then I ended up at boost::interprocess

well I'm going to be onsite installing cameras today, so I can't help much. Good luck!

ic0n - can you get akroninside events working? I think they are mp4 - they don't show up on console

managed_shared_memory segment(create_only, "MySharedMemory", 65536); so fixed size

No worries, I am waiting for my hears to stop ringing as just got back from a concert

haha hears = ears

asker: They work fine for me... there just weren't any. I have switched to mocord.

hmm I see acron showing 74 events but all of them have broken feeds

ah tey are all 0 s

look at the newer ones

asker_: You told me, and I forgot. Does forcing an event trigger push notifications?

yup

only if the monitor is in a motion state (mocord/modect not record or monitor)

Thanks. Setting up a new server.

Also noticed you have code for using the Foscam hardware to detect motion. Is that the method you use in your setup?

no, I don't, since its polling based and not notification based - last I checked foscam doesn't provide a webhook to notify motion

I did it for fun, ran it a few days, then reverted

Gotcha. Need to work on tweaking my motion detection settings, so it doesn't close the event out so fast.

for that change the post event image count in monitor buffer settings - decide how long you want it to record once motion is detected (X seconds). Then specify value = X * FPS

Also have an interesting case where zmNinja has a permanent badge notification on the app icon. I think in my messing around, it caught a push notification that got disassociated, so doesn't clear now. Interesting note, I removed the app, rebooted the phone, re-installed and it came back immediately without even configuring a server.

So that makes me think it might be notification for something else in the app?

no I screwed something up =there is an open ticket for that

working on multi-server irght now and decided to clean up my events code completely before I integrated it - so its going to be a few days before I fix those

No worries.

Speaking of multiserver, I noticed a bunch of info logs scrolling when I am viewing the montage on the phone: No Server ID or Name specified in config. Not using Multi-Server Mode.

If I change from montage to events, they stop scrolling in the logs.

ic0n - you aroud?

hey asker

yo ic0n

it looks like your ZM version has a functionality of producing a jpeg image from image.php?view=image&fid=globalid

And it looks like you are using this to avoid the path=// route that the current stable version has

I need a reliable way to know which ZM version supports it , otherwise doing this will break older versions

so if this is 100% going to be part of 1.30, and will be supported irrespective of multi-server or not, I'll switch to this mech if API returns >= 1.30

I don't want to hack in special code that will cause issues

(like checking for your domain and switching)

i have some cameras with some odd quirks, they assign themselves a random ip address at boot, not sure how i'm going to manage them at all yet

using FFMPEG_OUTPUT_OPTIONS '-r15 -threads 2' produces a pixelated video when I hit "generate video" what settings work the best for producing the best output. I tried the one from the wiki '-r 30 -vcodec libx264 -threads 2 -b 2000k -minrate 800k -maxrate 5000k' but I get no video in the outputted file.
