ZoneMinder Forums

it seems that when i switch the camera from monitor to something like motion detection, it actually does trigger events and records the stream. i can go back in to zm and watch the replays of the video from the recorded events, but just can't preview the live streams through the application. wierd ...

so, since i couldn't figure out what was broken, i started to redo everything. first thing I did was to stop zm, delete the database and rebuild it, and start up zm again. that didn't seem to make a difference, so i deleted the database and started over again, but this time i uninstalled zoneminder ...

ok, so after i got everything working, i found that i'm still not able to get an image and can't figure out why.
