FTP upload - no video in ZIP files

Post by macrae_dj »

Hi, I'm trying to get zoneminder to upload video clips of the events.
Under options > FTP.. I have OPT_UPLOAD checked and UPLOAD_ARCH_FORMAT set to zip.
I created a filter with
'Create video for all matches' checked, and
'Upload all matches' checked.

When I run the filter I get the .zip files uploading but they are all empty.
When I watch the /tmp folder I can see the .zip files appearing and disapearing as each event is processed but I dont see any video files appearing.
I also am running in a shell: tail -f /tmp/*.log
Which prints out stuff like (doesnt appear to be reporting any errors)...
  • /tmp/zmfilter.log 04/14/10 21:47:42.674728 zmfilter[9366].INF [Archiving event 221]

    /tmp/zmvideo.log 04/14/10 21:47:43.141361 zmvideo[9379].INF [Creating video file Event-221-r1-s1.mpg for event 221]

    /tmp/zmfilter.log 04/14/10 21:47:43.753956 zmfilter[9366].INF [Creating upload file '/tmp/video0-221.zip']
    04/14/10 21:47:43.755607 zmfilter[9366].INF [Uploading to ...]

    /tmp/zmvideo.log 04/14/10 21:47:43.744242 zmvideo[9379].INF [Finished Event-221-r1-s1.mpg]
If I change the setting to .tar instead of .zip I get an error message...
  • /tmp/zmvideo.log 04/14/10 21:33:04.850668 zmvideo[8870].INF [Finished Event-194-r1-s1.mpg]

    04/14/10 21:33:06.862961 zmfilter[8869].ERR [Tar error: Cowardly refusing to create empty archive! ]
Anyone got any idea whats going wrong? How can I confirm that the .mpg files are getting made?
