After installing ZoneMinder I have run into a problem, after setting u my first remote camera I am not getting a feed, checking the logs I get the below messages...

==========================

Any Idea where to look to fix this?

The Troubleshooting section in the README file gives the best places to look for errors. Usually the /var/log/messages file is the best place to start.

Phil,

Phil

Many thanks and apologies - next time i'll read the README a little closer!!

I have now managed to get the app working but have now tried to rebuild with mpeg streaming support when I try to run zmc i get the following...

---
'zmc -m 1' starting at 04/11/05 17:20:11, pid = 11862
/usr/local/bin/zmc: error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
'zmc -m 1' crashed at 04/11/05 17:20:11, exit status 127
---

The library definately exists (in /usr/local/lib/) and reflects the build of ffmpeg-0.4.8 (also installed with mp3lame and with --enable-shared)

I have tried rebuilding all 3 components to no avail. Any hints where to look? (nothing in the /var/logs/messages btw)

If you've only recently built (and presumably installed) the ffmpeg libraries you may need to run ldconfig to update the locations of the shared libraries. That's the first thing to try anyway.

Phil,

Thanks Phil,

After much fiddling and lots of recompiling everything now working perfectly - this is a great product, thanks!!!

Regards
