Have you tried setting the mpeg live format and mpeg replay formats to blank under the options tab? Helped for me when using a USB input.

Could it be permissions on the /dev/video0 file? Maybe try: sudo chmod g+rw /dev/video0 and see if it comes up.

Hmm, this may not be an Ffmpeg problem after all; may be in Zoneminder. It seems that ZM uses Basic authentication for RTSP and this camera wants Digest authentication. Here's the error log: 05/03/12 20:44:54.772090 zmc_m3[7956].DB2-zm_rtsp.cpp/72 [Received RTSP response: RTSP/1.0 401 Unauthorized ...

installed FFmpeg with the additional enables and no change - still can't open RTSP streams. Played around with the HTTP stream and I can get images in ZM using HTTP. The first image came up using HTTP://camera-ip:port/tmpfs/auto.jpg. It's a little image, 320 x 176 meant for phones, but at least it's ...

Anybody out there have a list of URL commands for the Fi8602 camera? I want to try them on an Agasio 632 to see if I can access the HTTP stream instead of the RTSP stream. I suspect this might work in spite of the ActiveX applets that are supposedly needed to use the HTTP stream since I can access ...

Unfortunately the camera insists on a username and password, won't allow you to exit the set up until they are set. Another possibility I came across is adding enables (--enable-network --enable-protocol=tcp --enable-demuxer=rtsp --enable-decoder=h264) to the config file when building FFmpeg. I didn ...

Getting warmer but not quite there. Decided to use the internal webcam (/dev/video0) to check out my ZM installation, figured that would remove some variables. Sure enough, in the Options - Images section I discovered that MPEG_LIVE_FORMAT and MPEG_REPLAY_FORMAT should be left blank. Also, changing ...

Dug into the log file info. and the code 401 means that FFmpeg failed to log on to the camera which also accounts for the subsequent errors. The user & password are correct in the host name. (The same user/password/path works for VLC). Googling around I found that FFmpeg does (or did) have a problem ...

Seem to be making some progress but no video yet. I uninstalled FFmpeg and re-installed with X264 libs and everything else I could find. Removed and re-installed ZoneMinder and this got rid of the red Source on the control panel. If I select Modec I get Green! - but no video. There is a message ...

I'm using IP Camera Viewer Basic v.4.4.3 on an android based smart TV and it works just fine.

Thanks for the reply! I tried the command (substituting the camera IP) and the message is "Error while parsing header" which is what I have seen with every variation of IP/port/login etc. that I have tried. I don't see any references to librtmp in the message header. It's very possible that FFmpeg ...

I can view the RTSP stream (1280 X 720) from this camera using Totem or VLC (VLC is better) but no joy with FFmpeg. I strongly suspect that ZoneMinder won't work until I can see the stream in FFmpeg. Anybody here have any success with RTSP and FFmpeg?
