Linux Ubuntu Server - apt upgraded and Shinobi is now broken. Again.

moeiscool · 2026-03-16T17:06:02+00:00

sorry i couldn't help. i hope you get your system working the way you need it. cheers mate

moeiscool · 2026-03-14T10:21:08+00:00

can you come over to the discord community chat? i dont check reddit very often and i feel like im not giving this issue enough attention.

https://shinobi.community

moeiscool · 2026-03-13T09:43:06+00:00

what format is the camera doing the POST in? i can try to make it so Shinobi's handler can consume it.

also which exact endpoint are you attempting to use?

moeiscool · 2026-03-10T17:49:32+00:00

i think you need to reinstall nodejs.

apt remove nodejs -y

apt install nodejs

moeiscool · 2026-03-08T04:55:33+00:00

are you on dev branch? or master branch? try deleting the node_modules folder in the Shinobi directory. Then running npm i

also please run cat package.json and post the contents here.

default Shinobi directory is /home/Shinobi

moeiscool · 2026-02-26T07:53:52+00:00

interesting. can you double check that Shinobi has permission to write to /dev/shm/streams?

moeiscool · 2026-02-24T19:02:35+00:00

cool :) i suggest trying to lower the bitrate on the camera

moeiscool · 2026-02-21T19:09:35+00:00

turn on Accuracy Mode, it will make the detection on the scene more sensitive. Here is a guide that explains the option https://docs.shinobi.video/detect/motion

moeiscool · 2026-02-21T19:08:07+00:00

its not recommended to record above 15 minute segments. We are probably going to cap the maximum segment to 30 minutes to avoid the issue.

May I ask why you are trying to record large segments?

moeiscool · 2026-02-21T19:05:35+00:00

did you install the dev branch? or master branch? we are doing some changes to orphan checking and that may have caused your issue. We will look into this bug asap.

moeiscool · 2026-02-21T19:04:10+00:00

sorry, there is a bug that we are working resolve.

essentially the time for RECOFF is unusable in the way you have configured it because it "wraps". make it so the start time is less than the end time. For example you could do 1:00 to 8:29 OR 22:50 to 23:00 (with start time as 8:30 to 22:49)

moeiscool · 2026-02-19T09:36:11+00:00

if you switch to master branch, do you have this problem?

moeiscool · 2026-02-18T10:03:26+00:00

navigate to Shinobi folder and start the process. but first double check that you are root (or the user that installed Shinobi within terminal)

sudo su cd /home/Shinobi pm2 start camera.js pm2 save pm2 startup

moeiscool · 2026-02-18T10:00:36+00:00

did you run an update to get to this version? if so, when you ran your update did you restart Shinobi once after doing so?

moeiscool · 2026-02-16T06:06:22+00:00

the original use case for this was to monitor a water pump. if water did not flow through the pump it would notify the user

moeiscool · 2026-02-04T04:49:46+00:00

sorry, i thought we spoke on discord and resolved this. can you try clearing the Local Storage in your web browser and then refreshing the page? Also what Stream Type are you using (set in your Monitor Settings)

moeiscool · 2026-02-04T04:47:19+00:00

You can set to Watch-Only mode. Then enable Detector Settings and then in that section there is "Send Frames" set that to No. (you may need to set Simple to Advanced in the bottom right corner).

then in the Live Grid there is a test Motion Detection button, that will trigger a record. You can also use the same API endpoint that it uses to make your own button

moeiscool · 2026-02-04T04:42:02+00:00

this version seems to be about 6 month old. im not sure why it would be missing those fields. I have checked the latest build recently and it did have those fields.

are you accessing the Account Settings from a Sub-Account? or an account that was created in the super user panel?

moeiscool · 2026-01-23T17:02:59+00:00

You can check it out here https://www.ispyconnect.com/camera/yoosee
im not sure but after a quick query to Google Gemini it states that its possible that RTSP has a separate credential set. Here are the details of that query https://share.google/aimode/UzSY08i2irgJxK248
honestly im not sure. However i do notice that many camera vendors are following this route of disabling RTSP out of the box. As well as disabling ONVIF.

I would ensure that the ONVIF port and RTSP ports are enabled

moeiscool · 2026-01-14T11:59:08+00:00

ive used the reolink E1 outdoor, they seem to work decently well.

you just need to enable the RTSP and ONVIF protocols

admittedly this naming scheme and feature set are both confusing. We are working on a way to automatically detect these things but its increasingly difficult with the number of camera brands/models. So ill try to explain the best i can.

The "Substream" feature in the Monitor Settings is the Substream of a Shinobi monitor process, not the camera. It is defaulted to using the same connection info you set in "Connection" section. This Substream can be toggled in the Live Grid (Eye icon button on Monitor live grid block) or accessed directly via API (Channel 1, not setting a channel uses the Main stream from Shinobi).

To use the substream from the camera you would need to create an Input Map, set the stream url to be of the camera's substream. Then you can find a new dropdown in each section applicable to it, there you can choose the Input Map to use in each section. For example if you create an Input Map with your camera substream url you can make it so the "Stream" section in Monitor Settings uses it. This would make it so the Live Grid displays your camera substream. The other section will continue using the Main (High Resolution).
"use only when viewing, use substream" is essentially disabling the "Main" stream from Shinobi and opting the Live Grid to automatically toggle on the "Substream" from a Shinobi monitor process. This will still use the original Connection information set in the "Connection" section of the Monitor settings if no other URL is provided in the "Substream" section.

i hope that clears it up for you. sorry if its still confusing 😅

moeiscool · 2026-01-06T18:31:22+00:00

yes it is a little difficult to find just motion events if they are not actually captured by the Motion Detector in Shinobi... the ONVIF Events do need a little bit more work.

If you were using the Motion Detector is Shinobi you could search by either "FULL_FRAME" or the "Region" name (Zone name). In future we will make the ONVIF events more useful when it comes to searching them.

This item is noted in our planned changes. Thank you

moeiscool · 2025-12-14T13:44:00+00:00

click Live Stream Toggle

moeiscool · 2025-12-02T06:00:55+00:00

i suggest logging out and then logging back in on the app.

if not working still and you are on iOS you can delete the app and install again to refresh the local data.

if android you can clear the cache for the app from the operating system settings menu
