Abstract: Some performance improvements, better diagnostic support. We recommend to upgrade.

Details:

– Corrected a mistake in settings.py: Allowed hosts was sometimes set up wrong, resulting in error 500.

– All processes and consumers now have one general exception handler each. This will result in simple and reliable error messages in console and log files. The crazy 120-line errors should be a thing of the past. Also, all exceptions should now produce an error message.

– Showing videos was simplified: In standard setup the mp4 videos are no more converted to webm, since recent android phones now also can display H.264-MP4. Older android phones might have problems. If you want to activate the conversion, you have to put the setting “do_webm” to 1. Keep in mind: The conversion eats lots of processor time, especially on Raspis. Also the new Android phones only support H.264, not H.265. We recommend to set up your camera to H.264, which should be no problem, since this codec is very common,

– A Timing problem in c_tfworkers.py was fixed which caused the AI processing to be very slow (factor 2-4).
