ic0n, do you have any idea on when next release will be ?

celyr there should be a bug fix release soon.

ic0n, idk if you remember but I'm planning to implement in a large scenario... And I was interested in the mp4 feature

ic0n, and that's was what I'm looking for :)

well that isn't going to be released for a long time. you can use my storageareas version right now though. It's a little bleeding edge, but I do use it in production.

ic0n, Can you please paint me the worst case scenario ?

worst case scenario? Something importatnt isn't recorded.

but that often happens with our stable releases too!

ic0n, ok so if I make an automated script to check that it's

what

ic0n, I don't want to get fired :P

the risks are the same no matter what software you go with. It is up to you to ensure that it is working correctly.

ic0n, ok

ic0n, so zoneminder doesn't implement anything to detect loss of streaming or back recording ?

back recording? ? What is that? Sure it detects loss of streaming. It will log all kinds of stuff. You need to have someone monitoring those logs.

black*

uh no, it will not detect black.

ic0n, can be a nice feature :P how is written ?

do you eventually accept pull requests ?

we always accept pull requests. detection code is c/c++

Nice maybe I can do it I'll look into it and submit a patch

it will detect black every night....

ic0n, black recording is a feature that is well paid in some commercial software

ic0n, not really, we have mostly ir cameras

ah

or yeah cameras with also ir

so black = masked or something going wrong

ic0n, also many business leaves minimal light on on survelliance zone

I look forward to your PR

morning

ic0n, looks like zm_zone.cpp is the right place am I wrong ?

well... not if you want to detect black outside of defined zones...

you need to detect it on the raw source image, right?

There used to be a function in monitor.cpp called DetectBlack. It was commented out years ago.

ic0n, because of night problems ?

I have no idea. it was before my time.

I see also that the function is not defined

it used to be. Might have to search back in time.

ic0n, https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder/blob/r...

it was removed recently

yeah... although that was years ago

it was removed with 1.30

ic0n, I think I'll start this way, the comment by Nextime (is he still alive ?) states that the code is broken, I'll look into it and try to fix it

good stuff. He is alive as far as I know, but not active.

ic0n, then I'll try to integrate DetectBlack with that motion_score thing once I'll figure out how it works

ic0n, Plan is to put a similar warning to loss of stream

ic0n, what do you think ?

gtg now I'll be back tomorrow
