VIVOTEK IP7142 MJPG stream

Post by heruan »

ZM version: 1.23.3
Distribution: Debian Lenny
Camera: Vivotek IP7142

I configured my camera to output a MPJEG stream on http://camera/video2.mjpg and I actually see the stream with VLC and Firefox.
ZM instead can't see the stream, the only error I can find is on /tmp/zmdc.log, reported below.

Code: Select all

$ tail -f /tmp/zmdc.log

Just noticed that I get this error only with resolutions of 352x240 and 720x480, when with 176x144 works well... Why?

Grep your zm logs for "shmget", if that shows up somewhere (It's been erased from mine for ages since I've fixed it" then check the faq, so I don't recall which one it's in.
