ValueError: malformed node or string: <_ast.Name object at 0x7f0e4cec2390>

Updated the eventserver to 6.1.7 and it seems to run fine, tried in manuel mode.

Updated mlapi and hitting this:

Any suggestions? Did I miss something obvious?

Check your ml_sequence in mlapiconfig.ini - something is malformed

Thanks. Not entirely sure what was malformed but cutting it down did the trick.

Any suggestions for these errors in the zm log which are new since upgrading to 6.1.7?

This should perhaps be a warning instead?

My mlapi box had opencv 4.4.0 from source and that worked after the upgrade. The zoneminder box had 4.3.0.36 installed with pip and that failed. Upgraded to 4.5.1.48 and the error went away.

There's a comment in the documentation[1] about needing at least version 4.1.1, perhaps that needs to be bumped up a bit?

Ah, probably because the zoneminder box didn't use yolo4 before the upgrade, and you state 4.3+ is needed for that. My bad.
