ZoneMinder Forums

Hi, I see more and more programms, which ran into the problem I got with zoneminder. Only Cheese (which has no options) displays the video. I tried very much combinations of ffmpeg & zonemonder, but I can't figure out my problem. I tried even a fresh install, but nothing has changed. It seems that ...

I was able to make a video from the camera stream using zoneminder. This video was created while using the palette RGB24 and V4L2.if I select YUV422P I get a green video. I discovered this in my zmdc.log: 03/10/09 09:08:45.427722 zmdc[31528].INF [Server starting at 09/03/10 09:08:45] 03/10/09 09:08 ...

I compiled vlc from git and my cam works perfect with v4l2.
With a fresh compiled zoneminder I still get a grey or green jerky video.

Hi, are there new infos / tips on this error? I tried the ubuntu live cd with preinstalled zm and I see the same behavior with it. Today I downloaded newest ffmpeg and zoneminder from svn. I tried with the configure option "--enable-mmap=yes/no" --enable-mmap=yes: Got unexpected memory map file size ...

ZM_DBG_PRINT=1

That was a good hint . I had to run zmupdate.pl -f, becasue there was a config mismatch(I had 180 items, expected 181).
Now Zoneminder runs, but Both cameras still show the same crappy video.

Have you tried running the sudo command directly?

Could you please explain this a bit more? Do you mean wether I ran "sudo -u www-data /usr/loacl/bin/zmfix -a" in commandline?

EDIT:

There is a new problem with svn 2778. Zoneminder doesn't start anymore. # cat /var/log/zm/zmpkg.log 19.02.2009 02:43:04.121028 zmpkg[15900].INF [Command: start] 19.02.2009 02:43:04.302873 zmpkg[15900].ERR [Unable to run "sudo -u www-data /usr/local/bin/zmfix", output is ""] gdb only outputs this ...

Sure, here it is: this should be enough I think.

this is while zoneminder is off: /dev/shm# ls -la insgesamt 100 drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 100 17. Feb 15:44 . drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 5300 17. Feb 21:47 .. -r-------- 1 neo neo 67108904 17.

Oh sorry here's the debug from zmc: # cat zm_debug.log.10546 02/17/09 14:34:12.566268 zmc_dvideo0[-1].INF-zm_debug.c/292 [New Debug Level = 9, New Debug Log = /var/log/zm/zm_debug.log.10546] 02/17/09 14:34:12.566785 zmc_dvideo0[-1].DB1-zm_monitor.cpp/1706 [Got 1 monitors] 02/17/09 14:34:12.566832 ...

with the resolution 160x120, I get a live-stream. I cannot see the "real" video. I tried every possible combination of format(Pal B, Pal G, ...) with palettes. I attached 2 images how the video looks like. http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/4016/160x120rj0.jpg http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/6268 ...

Downloaded from svn and compiled it without errors. The error seems to be the same: # cat zm_debug.log.31181 02/16/09 20:14:27.043313 zmc_dvideo0[-1].INF-zm_debug.c/292 [New Debug Level = 9, New Debug Log = /var/log/zm/zm_debug.log.31181] 02/16/09 20:14:27.043473 zmc_dvideo0[-1].DB1-zm_monitor.cpp ...

Have you tried with the SVN version?

Hmm no not yet. I searched the forum, website and wiki. Is there an anonymous svn access availablem or do I have to register at http://www.ctu-web.com ?

I tried both methods, with every combinations of color palette and the resolutions 640x480, 320x240.
vlc works fine with V4L2 and 640x480
