Can not see live stream on VLC. Options are:

Enqueue
Play
Stream
Convert

I sometimes get a single frame, but no stream. Odd...

BTW - I do not have authentication on while trying to stream to VLC...I can also see it via MediaPlayer, however I can only see a single frame. The stream apparently is not standard, but not sure how to get streaming to work.

I tried saving, but that does not work...I can bring the page up with any browser, but VLC won't do it.

Is there a streaming mode that needs to be enabled in zoneminder?

Is there anyway to record the video stream remotely to a PC while watching the stream?

I've heard that VLC Media player can do this, but haven't been able to get that to work.

Thanks for the quick response...I know the stream is saved on the server, but I want to save it on a remote notebook. For example, monitoring my house, but if someone takes my server, then I will not have the stream, so I'm wondering what the best app is for saving the stream on a notebook or PC ...

I should add, when I view the camera the web address is like so:

http://tdenham.chickenkiller.com:/zm/in ... atch&mid=2

Thanks:)

Hello,

I'm able to remotely view the default camera #1 via firefox or IE.

Is there a way I can save this stream too? Is there an application that can login to my website via http and view the same stream I'm seeing in the browser?

Thanks!
