ZoneMinder Forums

Hi there, I'm trying to get Zoenminder (latest stable) working on Debian Lenny (latest stable) from source. I already tried unstable package source and then get zm from repository with no luck. ZM compiles and isntalls without error. I have 3 webcam sources, for example /dev/video2 works very well ...

Thanks a lot for this, worked very well!

This topc has the same suggestion: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=43032 First, you cannot have any copies of ffmpeg installed via rpms or whatever on your machine. If so, delete them!!! So what I did: - I removed ffmpeg from rpms - Installed ffmpeg to /usr/local/ffmpeg (make ...

Also: When I take ffmpeg latest version (FFmpeg version git-f276d87) and install with ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ffmpeg;make;make install and then try Zoneminder again, I get the following with the option --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local/ffmpeg : checking ffmpeg/avformat.h usability... no checking ...

Hi Is this error resolved? I had 1.23.x running on my openSUSE 11.1 box. Now, when I tried to upgrade to 1.24.2 (latest release) I get this same error as he got with 1.24.0: if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -Wall -Wno-sign-compare -fno-inline -I/usr/include -frepo -g ...

If you used the php version, you could just do a little shell script that would open that file (a certain information from it) and call the PHP script with your information: VAR=`cat /path/to/your/file | grep line` wget http://myserver/zm/myscript.php?extTrigger=1|show||||$VAR For more info: man cat ...

So does no one know how I can disable logging to messages file? I got all relevant stuff logged to zoneminder.log, but everything is still in messages too!

Got my hopes up too soon... It does actually log all the zoneminder messages into /var/log/zoneminder.log , but it does at the same time still log them into /var/log/messages . Do I have to add something to the code that it only logs the messages there? # # Filter Zoneminder # filter f_zm { match ...

I found the right config file and ow-surprise it worked.
Do you know if this also filters other information out or only zoneminder info? Nothing from other programs what contains "zm"?

Doesn't work for me either.
mitch: How exactly has this to be done?
Thanks

Hi Does anyone know how I can disable logging of zoneminder stuff to /var/log/messages ? I want logging in separate files instead, this also works, I get all these zm* files in /tmp. But I would like to disable logging to the messages file as I get 100's of entries like these: Aug 6 11:57:06 AMD2400 ...

Thanks for posting this to the Wiki Normando. Maybe you can include my little hint for people who dont have PHP (or I can do it if you want me to). You know you can also send the commands via telnet: telnet localhost 6802 1|show||||test For this purpose, I created this script: #!/bin/sh # ./script ...

Normando posted the solution in this topic: 1- Comment those channels you will not use. In my case I only use port 6802 to control zmtrigger.pl, so comment the rest of connection in zmtrigger.pl my @connections; push( @connections, ZoneMinder::Trigger::Connection->new( name=>"Chan1", channel ...

wow! Thanks Normando! Just did everything you wrote and it worked perefctly fine like that! An instruction like this should be added into the zmwiki or manual!
Btw.: It even works with Monitor-Mode (No motion detection).

So...it is very easy to add dinamically a text on the timestamp over the image. Interface with zmtrigger.pl your external program and send a series of "<id>|show||||<showtext>" to add your own text over the image. Of course, add the %Q token in your monitor timestamp settings. That's why I ...
