Re: Foscam FI9900P

Thanks. Unfortunately there are 353 pages of hits on "FFMpeg" with 15 threads per page. And nothing in the FAQ on this.

If someone can point me to some better detail on things to try I will put together something for the FAQ.

I found a few things so far but nothing definitive.

Any ideas?

Re: No Video (all else is fine) new install

Hmmm, see my solution in the thread for the Foscam 9900 - could it be something like that?

Because my problem was pretty much exactly what you are experiencing.

Re: Foscam FI9900P

Oh dang, is it possible to donate without signing up to Bounty Source? That looks like a neat way of doing donations but I don't need another account. I selected Paypal but when I clicked through it wanted me to set up a Bounty Source account. And if I did sign up my bounty would be "Buy the ...

Re: Foscam FI9900P

OK hit a roadblock on ZMrepo because Zoneminder conflicts with something I have install from the nuxdesktop repo. However, I thought to try Firefox instead of Chrome and it seems to work better - only the bottom 1/4 of the stream is all botched up, not the bottom 1/2 Then I also thought to switch ...

Re: Foscam FI9900P

OK I just found your ZM Repo for CentOS 7 and am going to install that on my Desktop just for debugging ... and it is 1.28 by the looks of it so we can keep this thread real :-)

Re: Foscam FI9900P

OK so I have it partially working - and my first mistake was bad enough that I already feel compelled to make a donation to the project for wasting your time - but I am still having another problem. We shall see whether or not it will require me to up the sum I will donate. Sigh. So my first problem ...

Re: Foscam FI9900P

Oh dang I am sorry for this but I just realized this should be in the 1.26 forum not 1.28. I could have sworn I had that right.

Just found some time to play around with it and checked that first. Dunno if Mr Admin can move that or not - if not, my apologies.

Re: Foscam FI9900P

Thanks I will look at this later ... probably will not have time til tomorrow but I will report back.

I did try what you said in ZM but it sounds like I need to tweak camera settings on the cam side so I will play with that.

Foscam FI9900P

Well I should have done more research before buying these gawd-forsaken cameras, but now I may be stuck with them. I cannot even log into the GUI on them with Linux because of some stupid WIndows-only plugin that is required. What an nightmare! All that said, does anyone have this camera working in ...
