Fix time getting slowly out of sync #366

Closed GwnDaan closed 6 days ago

GwnDaan commented 3 months ago

Probably fixes #302

What's changed

Changed the default factor with which the timestamps in the "write_timestamp_trailer" are multiplied from 100 to 90. I have no clue why and what this number does, but it completely resolves the issue with the time getting out-of-sync for me 🤷🏽.

To modify the value to anything other than 90 you can use the option: --timestamp-modifier <insert number here>.

While making this factor modifiable, I found that the write-timestamps option is never used, hence I also removed it in the PR.

Testing

The docker image built with my changes can be found at gwndaan/unifi-cam-proxy:timestamp-modifier. I've been running it over the last 24hrs and haven't found anything out of the ordinary yet.

I'm curious if this also solves/breaks things for others, so let me know! 😄

The time still seems out of sync on my generic Hikvision camera, but maybe I need to readopt it?

I'm also trying to make a bit of a continuation repo since this one seems abandoned for the timebeing. I don't plan on actively developing, but I'll keep an eye on PRs so people hopefully don't need to go searching around PRs and forks to find fixes as much: https://github.com/zacharee/unifi-cam-proxy.

Does it include the supposed bandaid "fix" for the sync issue?
