This is happening frequently and starting to really annoy me as the action that I end up always needing is in this massive 2 hour video.

ZM 1.28.1 UB server 14.04.03 LTS
FFMPEG source

Any ideas?

Thank you

ran that, shows C1 but doesn't connect.

Anyone have ideas how to get the new FOSCAM C1 to work in ZM 1.28.1?
I tried setting it up the same as my FOSCAM FI9828P with ffmpeg but it's not working.
Any advice?

thank you. I will try that.
I really don't want to but all of this is making my switch to blue iris more imminent.

but I did have to install ffmpeg manually http://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu so maybe, libvlc is missing? Wait, what? So you deviated from the Ubuntu instructions you posted earlier. What prompted you to do this? The trouble with doing that is you have a packaged version of ...

live view is not duplicated.

Looks like your screenshots did attach. Haven't seen this one before. What does your event log say for this camera? Does the resolution in zoneminder for this monitor match exactly the resolution in the camera? What are (all of) your camera settings? Can you post screenshots? Oh, and please verify ...

this is also preventing any alerts from being generated. anyone?

I think if you change the Alias line to just / instead of /zm that will work.

tried this, didn't work. thank you though

Hi bencollinz, Which browser are you using? We have good results with firefox, but remember to apply the zoneminder plugin for best performance. If you have few cameras then chrome is also ok. But for huge quantity of cameras, then we had bad results with chrome. Explorer, please forget about it ...

thx

There is no core.php ANYWHERE including /usr/share/zoneminder (where zm looks to be installed)

well, the only way I could get around this was to turn off authentication and install an add on for firefox to autoreload every 15 minutes.
not ideal, however.
