That's a shame. I'd say most of us like the automatic upgrade of the database. Like you said, if you want more hands on and manual intervention, you can build it yourself old school.

@Synthead it sure is possible, but at this point one could wonder why we bother using package managers at all and not simply return to the good old days of downloading the source .tar ourselves and running ./configure && ./make && ./make install. Or switch to Gentoo for that matter.

But anyway, in this new version I've removed all shell commands from the install script and replaced them with instructions for the user.

Is it possible to do package upgrades without upgrading the database? I feel like the database upgrades should be a separate process from upgrading the package.

@nocifer you're absolutely correct. It is a dependency of ffmpeg and the official package is what I'm using.

I did just do a whole system update on it that went a little wrong. I hadn't updated the ZM VM in nearly a year (was on a 5.2 kernel). I thought I had fully recovered from it but obviously not. Once I got ZM compiled and tried to run it I found other missing depends that should be there because other packages requires them. Like php requires oniguruma.. I had php, but not oniguruma somehow.

TL:DR I think I'm sorted out now.. Carry on.

@DaMadOne from what I can tell, libmfx is supposed to be a dependency of ffmpeg. Or at least that's the case for the official Arch package, some alternative packages I checked (e.g. ffmpeg-full or ffmpeg-amd-full-git) don't seem to include it.

Could you be using one of these ffmpeg variants? If that's so, I would first ask their AUR maintainers why they do not include libmfx as a dependency.

libmfx is a dependency. Can't compile without it as of this moment.

I'm having an issue where NGINX is returning error 502 when hitting submit on the monitor configuration window. This is on a fresh setup as well.

It seems to create it, but I get a stream of "'zma -m 1' exited abnormally, exit status 127" I seem to have traced it to "error while loading shared libraries: libx264.so.157: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

maybe a rebuild is necessary

Perhaps we're missing a dependency?

EDIT: Syu your build environment beforehand. Did that, then rebuilt. Now all is well.

No problem. Everything works. You are a hero.

@jlanzobr ah, right, I suppose this bears mentioning as well: to any and all reading this, from 1.34 onwards, the timezone (which is a crucial component of ZoneMinder and the source of way too many issues if misconfigured) is no longer set in /etc/php/conf.d/zoneminder.ini, it is set and stored internally, directly in the database. There is now a new setting in ZM's configuration page where one must go and select the correct timezone, otherwise bad stuff will happen.

@Nocifer: thanks for replying. I'm using Apache. Turns out I got hit by this bug: https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zoneminder/issues/2565

Setting Options > System > AUTH_RELAY = none solved the issue, just like in that bug report. I also corrected my timezone, which allowed my Events page to work correctly as well. Hopefully they manage to really fix this issue soon - it's marked as closed but those two options can break your install if not correctly migrated, so I'd say it should be marked open!
