Los of video feed #933

Open Feesh13 opened 6 years ago

Feesh13 commented 6 years ago

About every 18hrs Motioneye will loose video feed from my 2 cameras even though the cameras are still working properly. Once I reboot Motioneye the video feeds come back and record for about 18hrs.

Motioneye on a RaspberryPi 3 2X Swann NHD-851 cameras

Recording continuous at 1080p 5fps to a 1Tb USB drive that is powered via a separate PSU.

Hello @Feesh13

Just a few ideas :

what is your USB drive file system (maybe some limits from here) ?
did you check the "maximum video length" in the "movies" setting of the cameras in motionEye ?

Hi @Feesh13:

have you been able to solve your problem?

It looks that i face similar issue: https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye/issues/946

Would be nice to get any feedback

@wendy2702 issue: #946 does look quite similar. It still happens. I have resorted to rebooting it daily. I wish I could figure out the issue so I could just let it do its job.

Based on the logs below I'm wondering if the issue may be that the camera is timing out the connection on port 8082 and 8081 and closing it.

Hi,

i was able to solve my problem with changing some settings at the streaming client.

Maybe you can check your streaming clients as well.

Feesh13 commented 5 years ago

@wendy2702 Do you remember what settings you changed?

wendy2702 commented 5 years ago

Yes, but it might be something special. I'm using iobroker to control my Smarthome and have created some Views which are shown on my wall mounted ipads.

To view my camera stream i included a "picture widget" to one of my views. This Widget has two additional settings.

refresh/reload after wake up
refresh/reload after View change

After i deselect these two options the stream was not interrupted anymore.
