Mine doesn't. Guess I'll have to explore the viability of making a file conversion hack/script then.

It used to work though..

edit: actually, no need for an external script. Video writer was set to passthrough and changing that to h264 worked!

I suspect your non-playing file is h265 and the one that plays is h264 I can convert the file to h264 by renaming the original and then doing this: ffmpeg -i 12681-video.hevc_borked.mp4 -map 0 -c:v libx264 12681-video.hevc.mp4 I can then open that event in zmninja and the video actually plays ...

At least a month ago, I made the mistake of upgrading to Debian 12 and have been trying to get zoneminder working again on and off ever since. I'm on zoneminder version 1.37.47. Today I finally got it working well enough to show me live camera feed. I had to delete and then reconstruct the entire ...
