f0e5f8c will fix that warning. It is unrelated to the ability to play back the event though.

You havn't provided any information about how you are saving the events.

[DagNygren]

saving as Frames + Analysis Image. Video writer disabled.

Have to add that this has worked well for a long time and some recent (within last year) has created the problem.

Ok, so is the event directory filled with a million jpgs? Are they viewable?
