ZoneMinder Forums

Sorry I have been a bit busy.

I have started banning the users that have been spamming the wiki.
I will see what I can do about cleaning it up over the next few weeks.

So this should slow down now.

No this is not implemented in ZM, though I am intrigued. That would certainly be a nice feature if more countries would do this.
It's possible it could be scripted to do this, though I'm not sure what kind of load this would place on the system each time it runs.

Okay this sounds like my config...

So in /usr/lib/zoneminder should be a symlink pointing to /var/lib/zm/images or the like. Make sure the permissions of /var/lib/images and verify the sim link is there.

Else you could remove the symlink, and just create the alias in apache.

Actually the noatime option helps allot on cutting down IO I would definitely give that a go and, the file system used makes quiet a bit of difference to. I use Ext2 allot my self and others depending on the use.

With out knowing what distro your on the web logs will be in either /var/log/httpd or /var/log/apache or /var/log/apache2 If you have a desktop installed you might very well have a log viewer as well to view and search the logs for that code to see the referenced error. Beyond that I I know from ...

Since I think I'm the only one that created a package for Fedora that actually put logs in /var/log/zoneminder you might want to check /tmp for the logs.
Trying to start it manually from the command line will likely give you some hint as well.

Here are the various reasons that the zone frame might not display: :arrow: ZM (or the apache user) does not have R/W permissions to the images folder (or what ever folder in defined for the path in zm options. If you see the images in this directory, then this is not your issue. :arrow: The Path ...

Sorry for coming back so late into this. You are correct that ffmpeg did and very well may still have a problem with auth in RTSP. I beleive a patch was in the wiki and I might very well have it on one of my servers. I'm still a ways away from being able to build packages and such, but if I get some ...

You might want to check and see if ffmpeg was built with librtmp. I believe if memory serves me correct, VLC has live555 built in to negotiate RTSP. ffmpeg my need to be extended to support the adobe version though I can't be sure without testing the camera myself. What error returns if you try to ...

Okay I understand that you can not get a stream which is why I ask for a wget. If the stream headers report something other than whats requested it would show. These are the blind bits most people don't know.

Default video is mjpeg stream, though if you build in ffmpeg it can stream mpeg container. Other codecs can be be used if you compile them in and add any needed bits of code in.

Audio is not supported.

Good show and thank you for the follow up.

They have an agreement with Phil. That is the most I can say.

Rather than commenting about spam it better to just use the forum tool to report it and not comment. This way we don't have to clutter the forum with unnecessary comments that we have to debate later weather to remove. It always leaves a funny feeling in my stomach when I decide to delete a good ...
