Inconsistent recording

[nicxvan]

It seems that recording only works temporarily after restarting. I've tried constant recording as well as motion only.

I had to change the location of the recording since the volume I had was inaccessible. I changed it to /var/lib/unifi-video/video

If I try to test the motion zone it does not seem to complete or provide any feedback.

Looks like Issue https://github.com/pducharme/UniFi-Video-Controller/issues/178.

I thought so at first, but I occasionally get recordings, it seems to only work after a restart before I make any settings changes.

I have problems like yours. But I didn't change the config for days and the recording stops suddenly. And it stops every time I reboot the host.

A few minutes ago I realized that it stopped again. (Perhaps cause I updated the system and got a new version of Docker? 🤔)

I looked into the container and /var/cache/unifi-video/hls had been vanished... (Same like in Issue https://github.com/pducharme/UniFi-Video-Controller/issues/178...)

(I should have look after the runtime of the container before I destroyed it...)

@nlighteneddesign, @nicxvan Did you checked if /var/cache/unifi-video/hls stilled existed when the error had occurred?

These are probably all related I will close this one in favor of 178
