Hi all,
I record daily from some raspberry pi zero 2ws with camera module 3 and the libcam/picamera2 updated packages. Code below, in python, and called every day at 1pm with crontab.
My issue is that sometimes, the video will not record for the full 30 minutes and will sort of stall out at any point. I'll still have the hard copy video for whatever length of time that was; sometimes 1 minute, sometimes 20 minutes, but it will not upload with rclone and it won't film for the full time I need it to. The issue is really stumping me, especially as it only occurs on one of my pis (I use 4) and it still occurs after a complete OS reinstall to the latest version of Raspberry OS. The pi isn't running out of storage space either, and my updates are all up to date. Any ideas of how to fix would be appreciated. Thanks all!
