"DOWNLOAD VIDEO" archive file, no video

Post by Melsiar »

Hi,
I return to the problem I had on version 1.34.6 of ZoneMinder. I was offered to upgrade to version 1.36.33 to solve my video export problem.
So I migrated to 1.36.33, but my video download problem remains the same.

For example, from the "Montage Review" menu, I select a short time interval (where there are images) for a single camera, and when I click on Download, ZoneMinder offers me a zip or tar (I take zip by default) and I do "generate download" (it is noted Downloading 34 events. Resulting file should be approximately 367.96MB).

The file is successfully downloaded, but the archive does not contain any images or videos. On the other hand, I have the event directories (but completely empty). If I look at the contents of the video hard disk, all the images of the movements of my cameras are there.

Archive structure:

Code: Select all

zmFilesList.txt :
zmExport472750/zmEventImagesMaster.html
/var/tmp/zm/zmExport_472750/zmFileList.txt

The only error I see in the logs I have is this:
actions can no longer be performed without POST. Requested: download for request
(I don't know if this error message has something to do with my problem.)

Error I mentioned on the forum here:
viewtopic.php?t=32423

Am I doing it wrong, or is there really a problem?
Thanks for your help

Hi,
my problem was very simple, I didn't understand how ZoneMinder worked (don't blame me, I don't understand English very well). I had only activated the recording of images for my cameras, I thought that the videos were created from a sequence of images. Since I selected "passthrough cameras" everything is ok! and I disabled saving images (I don't need it).
