I ran ZoneMinder for quite a while and then I ran into random problems similar to what you described (as well as others). After spending 6 hours trying to figure out what the issue was, I decided to see if there were any alternatives. 2 hours later I had MotionEye running on my video server with all of my cameras displaying great. MotionEye is a LOT more lightweight than ZoneMinder; it's Python based.

Sorry for the off topic post but I have run out of options an hoping someone here can help.
I have been running Zoneminder for a very long time. Its had its bumps in the road as anything else but generally works well.
Currently running Zoneminder 1.36.8 on CentOS 7 .
The problem started back in June after an upgrade. When events are played back, the first one plays fine, then it's a blur as in the faster than light drive kicks in. Supposedly, there is supposed to be some kind of pause between event playback that keeps this from happening.
I posted this issue on their forum, https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=30955&p=122258#p1... and on their Github, https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zoneminder/issues/3359 but have had no replies. There is a similar issue on github back in 2015, but the file in question has been changed since that time.
I have thought about uninstalling and re-installing the version that was working prior to the upgrade but I don't think its Zoneminder. I think it could be something else causing the problem.
The problem occurs when playing back events using Firefox and Edge on a Win10 PC and it does the same playing back events with Firefox on the server itself.
