"err ajax" when trying to get a date range

[brooks-bridges]

I have a default installation of 2.8.8 on Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS with 5 cameras (Amcrest). I have no issues with any of the services, except when I try to search a date range, for example 07/15/2020 00:00 through 07/15/2020 23:55, I get a popup with "err ajax" and no other information.

I've tried this with many of the search settings, and nothing except the "Quick Date" dropdown appears to work. I get the same error in Chrome 84.0.4147.89 and Firefox 78.0.2.

The WWW Log shows this (sanitized) error:

[Fri Jul 24 19:50:13.830046 2020] [:error] [pid 16739] [client 172.21.100.20:56580] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function format() on boolean in /usr/share/bluecherry/www/lib/Helpers.php:106\nStack trace:\n#0 /usr/share/bluecherry/www/ajax/playback.php(58): dateToUnix('07/15/2020 23:5...')\n#1 /usr/share/bluecherry/www/lib/Controller.php(123): playback->postData()\n#2 /usr/share/bluecherry/www/lib/Route.php(75): Controller->start(Object(stdClass))\n#3 /usr/share/bluecherry/www/index.php(14): Route->start()\n#4 {main}\n thrown in /usr/share/bluecherry/www/lib/Helpers.php on line 106, referer: https://cameras.xxxxxxxxx.com:7001/playback

sooooo..... any input on how to make this work correctly?

I'm able to reproduce this in v2.8.8 and v3 (beta). I'll let you know when this is resolved.

On line 91 in /usr/share/bluecherry/www/lib/Helpers.php

$res->format_php = 'm/d/Y h:i A';

Replace with:

$res->format_php = 'm/d/Y H:i A';

Looks like we're halfway there. I'm not getting the ajax error anymore, so thank you for that!

I does appear however that we have a 1300 vs 0100 issue. https://i.imgur.com/IxmGDj0.png

edit: Obviously "1300 PM" isn't really a thing, so maybe it's something with how it's parsing the AM/PM?

?? Is there a fix for the time not being right when searching?

[curtishall]

Yes, this is resolved in 3.0.3. Which distro are you using?

Reassigned to @myjimmy to look into
