Segment violation when switching to Motion

Bugs
1

I’m very new to bluecherry but today I encountered a bug which crashed the server. It occurred when I introduced motion into a specific device’s schedule for the first time. Previously all of my cameras were set to continuous always.

I’m also new, and also using motion detection, and seeing similar segfaults, on Ubuntu 18.04.3.

Can you please tell which version of Bluecherry server do you run?

4

Yes, I should have included that in my first post. I am running 3.0.0 built from master, on Ubuntu Server 16.04.6.

5

In my case, version 2.8.8 installed from http://ubuntu.bluecherrydvr.com

6

Should be fixed now, please try to pull latest changes from the master branch and rebuild/reinstall

7

Can you please provide some more details? Like, what camera do you use, stream settings? Does it crash every time when motion detection is enabled or sometimes?

8

For me, the crashes are sporadic - happens maybe once every 2-3 days, and not obviously tied to motion detection events (there’s nothing in the log immediately preceding the crash). I’m streaming RTSP from a couple of Wyze V2 cams (for now - still evaluating options for “real” cams)

It might be a couple of days before I can try to replicate it, I had deleted that VM. It’s just speculation but I recall that before adding cameras I had set the global schedule to ‘Off’ -> ‘Fill All’ and was then intending on setting individual schedules as I added each camera.

The cameras are Wyze Cam v2 with RTSP firmware re-flash. Currently running without issue on my production DVR (bluecherry 2.8.8).

I have been unable to reproduce the issue after trying various combinations of camera and global motion settings for a newly added camera.
