Before, it'd look like the following, as mentioned in
https://github.com/scottlamb/moonfire-nvr/issues/331:
```
2024-12-09T20:53:24.853572 WARN s-CP3PRO-main streamer{stream="CP3PRO-main"}: moonfire_nvr::streamer: sleeping for 1 s after error err=UNKNOWN
caused by: deadline has elapsed
```
...which isn't as clear as it could be, particularly if you don't notice
the `caused by` bit. After, it should look more like the following:
```
2024-12-09T20:53:24.853572 WARN s-CP3PRO-main streamer{stream="CP3PRO-main"}: moonfire_nvr::streamer: sleeping for 1 s after error err=DEADLINE_EXCEEDED unable to play stream and get first frame within PT30S
caused by: deadline has elapsed
```
* in backend, save the full reason, not just the most direct error,
which is often the useless `UNKNOWN`
* in UI, instead of wrapping in `<Typography>` which just resorts in
a weird ransom-note mixed size look, reserve space for or actually
use an icon.
`cursive` now requires `Send + Sync` bounds, so I had to switch from
`Rc<RefCell<...>>` to `Arc<Mutex<...>>`. I also coalesced some
lock calls together, hopefully without introducing any deadlocks.
I don't see any calls into the UI that would need the model while these
are held, and it seemed fine in a quick test.
This is a step toward H.265 recording support (#33) by using Retina
for the `VisualSampleEncoding` instead of the prior H.264-specific
logic. The only further change to Moonfire itself needed for H.265 is to
add `| "h265"` to the check for the right video stream.
This also adds support for recording MJPEG, although browser playback
almost certainly won't work.
It's cleaner anyway to use `tokio::broadcast::channel` than the list
of callbacks.
Also make it send pings only on long pauses between frames, as when
the camera is disconnected.
Users are often puzzled why there are short recordings. Previously
the only way to see this was to examine Moonfire's logs. This should
be a much better experience to find it right in the UI where you're
wondering, and without the potential the logs are gone.
Fixes#302
* use `termion` rather than `ncurses` to limit runtime deps
* cross-compile with `cross` instead of our own dockerfiles/scripts
* update instructions
* update release procedure and GitHub actions to match
* prep changelog for `v0.7.8`
Fixes#160Closes#265
This is optional but now enabled for release builds.
Why?
* It shrinks the release docker images a bit, as the binary
includes only the gzipped version of files and uncompressed into RAM
at startup (which should be fast).
* It's a step toward #160.
HTTP requests were only returning the error message to the caller, not
logging locally. In most cases the problem could be understood
client-side, but there are some exceptions. E.g. if Moonfire returns
a 403 on WebSocket update, even in the Chrome debug tools's network
tab the HTTP response body seems to be unavailable. And in general,
it's nice to have more context server-side.
Logging a `response::Body` isn't practical (it could be a stream), so
convert all the web stuff to use `base::Error` err returns.
Convert the `METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED` paths to return `Ok` for now. This is a
bit lame but punts on having some way of plumbing an explicit/overridden
status code in `base::Error`, as no gRPC error kind cleanly maps to
that.
Also convert `db::auth`, rather than making up an error kind in the web
layer.
This is also a small step toward getting rid of `failure::Error`.
Sessions' last use updates weren't getting persisted to the database
because the update statement wasn't passing through the hash.
Also address a TODO of tracing in tests by using the same tracing
setup as in production.
I think this is a big improvement in readability.
I removed the `lnav` config, which is a little sad, but I don't think it
supports this structured logging format well. Still seems worthwhile on
balance.
