If you are talking about just video (like mpg files generated when uploading via email.) I have the following script which runs daily via cron to delete #!/bin/bash cd /tmp find / -name E*.mpg > Events.lst awk '{print "rm -vf "$0}' Events.lst > Events.del chmod +x Events.del ./Events.del > Events ...

No, I am using Mandriva 2008.0 Free DVD. (I suppose you could use One, not really had time to experiment with it though) I just ran the default install (custom partitioning though, automatic partitioning does a weird split) and selected the GNOME desktop as I prefer GNOME over KDE. First thing to do ...

I moved to Mandriva after having some problems with Ubuntu and ZM generating video. Search the Wiki for Mandriva, basic principles for 2007 also applies to 2008. There's also an article for 2008 (in French, but translates OK using Google translate) If you do not want to build from source, ZM 1.23.0 ...

What determines the way the date & time is displayed in the logs (/tmp/zmfilter.log, etc)? Mandriva 2008.0 Free. Installed 1.23.0 from RPM, then upgraded to 1.23.1 by compiling from source. Before upgrade date was displayed in the logs as dd/mm/yyyy (UK/GB format), now since upgrade it is displayed ...

Well, if you really want Ubuntu and you're not too worried about being on that up to date, OS version wise, you could always have a look at the Bluecherry LiveCD (I found it with a Google search think it might have been on SourceForge). It's based on Xubuntu 6.06.1 LTS (Ubuntu with XFCE) desktop ...

I'm sorry to report that I have to admit defeat on this one. Done a fresh install of Mandriva 2008 (with ZM 1.23.0 as well!) using the article from the Wiki and other articles I Googled and I've got a fully working install now. Really bummed, because I had good motivation for using Ubuntu (new ...

If you edit zm_funcs.php, find the createVideo function and add in a line error_log( $command ); before the exec line it will output the command to your web error log. You could then try running that command directly from a shell to see if you get the same size file. Likewise, you can edit zmfilter ...

I agree with you. After my last post, first thing I tried was to remove the > /tmp/ffmpeg.log from line 383 of zmvideo.pl Now I don't get a zero byte file at /tmp/ffmpeg.log any more. I then started looking at zmfilter.pl to see if there is some error in the way it calls zmvideo.pl, but I didn't try ...

Didn't make any other changes after removing the "&". Figured I would leave it and make a partimage of the "what I thought was working" system before fiddling with it again. Totally bummed. Don't have any debugging turned on. One thing I have noticed, if I delete the /tmp/ffmpeg.log file, it gets ...

Sorry, but I think I jumped the gun. It worked for the first 3 or so, then started playing up again, now it makes now difference, despite reboot, etc.

Let me know what happens with yours.

The following seems to have resolved my problem. I saw a post a while back that stated: Check in zmvideo.pl and change ">& ffmpeg.log" to "&> /tmp/ffmpeg.log" PS: This is on line 323 I made that change last night and I suspected after that change it 'broke' the mpg's I thought changing it back would ...

Peter, I used the latest DEB from your ftp site (I think ftp://www.northern-ridge.com.au/zoneminder/ubuntu/edgy/zoneminder_1.22.3-10_i386.deb ). Great work, saved a lot of hassle! I'm not really sure why that fixed the problem, when I looked back at the old setup with 6.06.1 (from Bluecherry Live CD ...

I have the same problem. A filter generated mpg will not play in Media Player or GOM Player but it will play in Quicktime and Nero Showtime. If I go to the same event in ZM, delete the generated mpg and regenerate it, it will play fine in all of the above. The filter generated file is 601099bytes ...
