I am testing out 3.1.3 on Debian Bookworm. I’ve tried this on 2 machines, one of which was a fresh Debian installation.
The BC system log has these 4 repeating messages for each camera:
avcodec_send_frame: snapshot encoding failed: Invalid argument
failed to write snapshot frame
Feeding snapshot decoder failed
Failed to make snapshot
Is there some installation dependency that didn’t get listed?
The product behavior includes:
- Zero length jpg files.
- The mp4 files grow in size but after a few minutes, they are erased and new files start growing.
- A connected client can get live images only until the first set of mp4 files are erased. Then the client has no image.
The Docker version 3.1.1 works on Debian Bookworm.
Is there a Docker tag/release name for 3.1.3?
Can you try this version and let me know the results?
wget http://lizard.bluecherry.net/~curt/releases/3.1.4/bookworm/bluecherry_3.1.4_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i bluecherry_3.1.4_amd64.deb
Thank you for supplying the update.
I still receive the same 4 messages for each camera.
However, the created mp4 files now persist (are not erased) and VLC can read them.
The jpg files are still zero-length.
After midnight GMT (1700 local) the server stops grabbing the camera feeds. Restarting the service did not help. I only got about an hour of testing prior to 1700.
As an aside, going back to 3.1.1, the timeline does not show files from 1700 to 2400, for today and previous days, even though the Event History shows them.
The BC project appears to have potential and the user interface is nice, but I’m afraid I’ve exhausted my client’s patience, at least for the time being. Perhaps my next client will want me to check out BC again.
Respectfully,
Robert
