I see a lot of yields and such in CPU profiles. I think the workers
are frequently waking up, finding there's not much to do, and going back
to sleep. Reducing the number of worker threads seems reasonable.
This isn't well-tested and doesn't yet support an initial connection
timeout. But in a quick test, it successfully returns video!
I'd like to do some more aggressive code restructuring for zero-copy
and to have only one writer thread per sample file directory (rather
than the syncer thread + one writer thread per RTSP stream). But I'll
likely wait until I drop support for ffmpeg entirely.
This is (slightly) complicating the switch from ffmpeg to retina
as the RTSP client. And it's not really that close to what I want
to end up with for analytics:
* I'd prefer the analytics happen in a separate process for
several reasons
* Feeding the entire frame to the object detector doesn't produce
good results.
* It doesn't do anything with the results yet anyway.
I'm tired of all the boilerplate, so use the new
GPL-3.0-linking-exception license identifier instead in all the server
components.
I left the ui stuff alone because I'm just going to replace it (#111).
Add a checker for the header because it's easy to forget.
I want to make the project more accessible by not expecting folks to
match my idiosyncratic style. Now almost [1] everything is written
in the "standard" style. CI enforces this.
[1] "Almost": I used #[rustfmt::skip] in a few sections where I felt
aligning things in columns significantly improves readability.
For recovering from corruption, as in #107. These should aid in
restoring database integrity without throwing away the entire database.
I only added the conditions that came up in #107, so far.
* "Missing ... row" => --trash-orphan-sample-files
* "Recording ... missing file" => --delete-orphan-rows
* "bad video_index" => --trash-corrupt-rows
Inspired by the poor error message here:
https://github.com/scottlamb/moonfire-nvr/issues/107#issuecomment-777587727
* print the friendlier Display version of the error rather than Debug.
Eg, "EROFS: Read-only filesystem" rather than "Sys(EROFS)". Do this
everywhere: on command exit, on syncer retries, and on stream
retries.
* print the most immediate problem and additional lines for each
cause.
* print the backtrace or an advertisement for RUST_BACKTRACE=1 if it's
unavailable.
* also mention RUST_BACKTRACE=1 in the troubleshooting guide.
* add context in various places, including pathnames. There are surely
many places more it'd be helpful, but this is a start.
* allow subcommands to return failure without an Error.
In particular, "moonfire-nvr check" does its own error printing
because it wants to print all the errors it finds. Printing "see
earlier errors" with a meaningless stack trace seems like it'd just
confuse. But I also want to get rid of the misleading "Success" at
the end and 0 return to the OS.
* give a rule of thumb for update time in the documentation
* log the SQLite3 version, which can affect performance
* do the vacuum in non-WAL mode, to correctly set the page size and to
avoid very slow behavior on older SQLite3 versions. Larger page sizes
are generally faster (including subsequent vacuum operations).
This won't help much for the first vacuum after this change, but it
will help afterward.
* likewise, set the page size properly on "moonfire-nvr init".
This was mostly straightforward. The most confusing part waas the Sync
bound change on body streams. I copied what hyper did and it seemed to
work. /shruggie
Besides being more clear about what belongs to which, this helps with
docker caching. The server and ui parts are only rebuilt when their
respective subdirectories change.
Extend this a bit further by making the webpack build not depend on
the target architecture. And adding cache dirs so parts of the server
and ui build process can be reused when layer-wide caching fails.
