I have found that the newer firmware on the UVC G3 series borks the rtsp feeds! I reset my cams back to the earliest firmware, 4.2.59 and they work just fine and never drop! It's odd as on the newer firmwares from mid-2020, VLC pulls the rtsp feed just fine, but zoneminder does not, the video is ...

I for one am very glad to see a solution to this issue as it has definitely been an annoying issue. Thank you very much for addressing an old problem!

You have a couple of issues it seems. Did you properly install Cambozola for the live IE viewing? I have not tested Chrome as I don't us it, but both IE and FF work on Windows and Forefox on linux.

Ok. SOLVED at least for ZM on Ubuntu 10.04 lucid - x64 kernel. The export when checking the "zip" format was failing as there was no package to provide the zip service installed. I installed the package "zip" using aptitude and it worked after that. I suspect if you are using a different distro ...

Were you attempting to export this video in "zip" format or "tar" format? In zip, mine won't export either, but in tar it will so i'm guessing there is an issue with the library used to zip the file or the command itself, I haven't gotten that far. Try it in "tar" archived format. Jeff

One other bit of wisdom, if I keep my zoneminder bandwidth set to Medium and NOT low, it rarely freezes although I did up WEB_M_AJAX_TIMEOUT to 10000 in the medium b/w settings. Updated 6/13/10: I did narrow down some of the freezing problem further to latency in the browser connection! I was ...

I put them under the Prefork MPM module and modified those that were there, with the 4 that I listed. It seemed to help.

I'm not saying that it never froze after that, I think once, but it was much better. Doesn't freeze with IE 6 though using the Camboloza plugin.

In total, I made 4 changes as I found that not any one of them did the trick by itself, but together, it seemed to run better and FireFox crashed much less often, if at all. 1. I modified ajax/stream.php from: if ( $numSockets === false ) to: if ( $numSockets === false || $numSockets < 1 ) 2. I ...

This did not work for me. I attempted to pull ffmpeg in from other working servers to no avail. I'm not sure if ffmpeg or zoneminder is the issue, but it will not build.

ghighiz,

How did you install zoneminder 1.24 onto Lucid 10.04? I attempted to install from source following the wiki on how to install 8.10 or 9.10 with zoneminder 1.24 and I get compile errors with zoneminder.

Thanks,
Jeff

Thank you very much all! I will try the tar.gz build as it will be easier than one of my production copies as I installed them from ubuntu repo directly so no build involved. I wanted to build this one on Centos if I could for the longer support time and the much less frequent updates necessary. Jeff

Ok, that did not work. It built fine as I said earlier, but the video it produced was un-viewable. I will now re-think this!

If anyone else finds the answer, please post. I believe it needs to be complied against an older version of ffmpeg.

I had the same errors. I uninstalled the compiled version that I built from the git tree, then installed the stock ffmpeg from yum. I then tossed out the initial attempt at building and compiling ffmpeg, un-tared it again and rebuilt it, no problems. NOW, I haven't loaded cameras and tested yet, so ...

I'm having the toughest issue to diagnose and I do believe it may be hardware related, but I wanted to see if anybody else experienced this. I'm running Ubuntu x64 LTS 8.04 and the ZM v 1.22.3 which comes in the stable repos for Ubuntu Hardy. BTW, I have installed this before, but on a difference ...

Maybe because I answered your post the last 2 times on my BB while driving!

Don't be so un-grateful for real!
