No video in zm console, stills are fine

Post by dscheste »

Dear Team,

zm seems to work just fine, motion detection, events, stills.... But I cannot see any video. Anytime I click on the monitor, a window with black screen comes up, listing the actual fps values and event, just no streaming.

Any possible causes to this?

I am experiencing the same problem (CentOS5.3, 32 bit). I can view the stills, but I get a black box when trying to view the video. I have problems in both IE8 (why did I ever upgrade?) and firefox.

I've been tinkering with the settings under Settings > Images. I can make the black box not show up at all, but I can't seem to get the live video I used to be able to get on my old system running 1.22.3. So I know how cool it can be when it works !

Same problem here. Debian Lenny with ZM compiled from source.
Database is fresh and clean (not updated/upgraded).

Still-Images are all correct and get recorded.
All streaming ends with this logged error message:

zms[21347]: ERR [Attempt to fetch string value for ZM_AUTH_HASH_LOGINS, actual type is boolean. Try running 'zmupdate.pl -f' to reload config.]

I have the same problem, cannot see any video at all. Seem like zoneminder wants to read string value from boolean type in database. Does anyone have any light to this problem?
