Hey guys for some reason zmninja isnt working properly after the update. It logs in but montage images are empty and the events do not play. I updated the ffmpeg option and turned off cambozola. Did I miss anything else?

Does anyone have problems with MODECT recording a few seconds of gray screen instead of actual motion? It looks almost like signal loss but happens very frequently. I am getting a lot of junk on my disk. I've searched the zone minder docs and forums and can't find a reference to this. I am using amcrest cams. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

BOOM. That was it. Below is now the output from the terminal. root@GrimLock:~# docker exec -it Zoneminder bash root@8a037a6782e7:/# crontab -l # Daytime camera operation 0 8 * * * /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl Daytime # Nighttime camera operation 0 20 * * * /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl Nighttime root@8a037a6782e7:/# Awesome as always dlandon

Both commands work manually from the terminal. Below is from the log Aug 5 07:32:08 8a037a6782e7 zmpkg[3118]: INF [Command: Nightime] Aug 5 07:32:35 8a037a6782e7 zmpkg[3124]: INF [Command: Nighttime] Aug 5 07:32:35 8a037a6782e7 zmpkg[3124]: INF [Sanity checking States table...] Aug 5 07:32:35 8a037a6782e7 zmpkg[3124]: INF [Command: state] Aug 5 07:32:35 8a037a6782e7 zmpkg[3124]: INF [Updating DB: Nighttime] Aug 5 07:32:35 8a037a6782e7 zmpkg[3124]: INF [Marking Nighttime as Enabled] Aug 5 07:36:50 8a037a6782e7 zmpkg[3390]: INF [Command: Daytime] Aug 5 07:36:50 8a037a6782e7 zmpkg[3390]: INF [Sanity checking States table...] Aug 5 07:36:50 8a037a6782e7 zmpkg[3390]: INF [Command: state] Aug 5 07:36:50 8a037a6782e7 zmpkg[3390]: INF [Updating DB: Daytime] Aug 5 07:36:50 8a037a6782e7 zmpkg[3390]: INF [Marking Daytime as Enabled] But when I check for cron I get this result root@8a037a6782e7:/# crontab -l no crontab for root This is the contents of my 'cron' file in appdata/Zoneminnder/ # Daytime camera operation 0 8 * * * /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl Daytime # Nightime camera operation 0 20 * * * /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl Nighttime Could the problem be that I created that file with notepad on windows? just a guess.

Understood. I have 2 camera states. One used for Daytime and one for Nighttime. They are called Daytime and Nightime. I can change these manually in Zoneminder or zmNinja. What I cannot do is automate the changing of these states. The first post shows how to do it using the commands i quoted above, but it does not seem to work for me. Any suggestions?

It looks like I do have cron, but no luck scheduling state changes from Daytime to Nighttime. Has anyone else gotten this to work with this docker? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Does this work? I have a single file called cron It contains: # Daytime camera operation 0 8 * * * /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl Daytime # Nightime camera operation 0 20 * * * /usr/bin/zmpkg.pl Nighttime I restarted the zoneminder docker When i run the commands ... docker exec -it Zoneminder bash crontab -l It returns no crontab for root i dont think these commands were added to crontab and zoneminder has not switched modes. Any recommendations? I am not even sure I have cron on my system. I have never used it for anything else.

Thanks dlandon. Your efforts are much appreciated. Donation Sent!

I also want to echo thanks for your work on this container. I am quite happy with my camera setup right now. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Thanks. I'm chasing it there too. It works up to 3072*2044 without error. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

4K doesnt work. Everything works fine until I set my new 4K camera (monitor 7) to 4K (3840x2160). It works fine at 2560x1440, but when I set it to 4K, errors start flying. See attached log. Any ideas on why? zm-log.html

Are there any good replacements for Crashplan?

Yep. Some files have that. Not ur fault. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Wow. Wow I used Nzbget from around 2008-2013 But this was before I used unraid. It worked just fine. When I moved onto unraid I pretty much automatically started using SABNZBD. It was much glossier. It worked well and no complaints. Now I have a huge library and sabnzbd is not so great. Lots of repair fails and repairs are slow as molasses. Enter CHBMBs suggestion to try NZBGET. Not as glossy as SABNZBD. But wow! It's fast! It repairs! It repairs fast!! I recognizes duplicates! This is exactly what I needed. Thanks guys. Donation on the way.
