No image when streaming

[nostabonn]

I have a IP Camera Linksys WVC200 as the only monitor for Zoneminder 1.24.2.
I compiled Zoneminder from source and with ffmpeg.

When I now try to open a monitor and watch what is on the cam, hthe view stays white, and nothing happens.
I Checked that the IP Camera was working by using the ZMLiveCD and that worked wonderful, but zoneminder has to be on our currently already running server with Ubuntu 9.04.

The only thing I can find as a problem is the following in the log:

I checked permission on the swap folder in /tmp, its owned by www-data and to be sure I chmod'ed it with 777.

Any ideas?

i am having the same problem, but with a PWC (Philips) based USB camera... It works at /dev/video1, as I can test it with camstream, however
when I try to view the stream inside ZM, all I get is an empty frame where the image should be.

I am using Debian/squeeze, and corresponding package for ZM:
dpkg: zoneminder 1.24.2-2.1

These are the last lines from the log (seems to be something wrong with the time/offset/etc.)?
=====
Mar 2 00:24:45 media zms[23528]: INF [Authenticated user 'admin']

Any help would be appreciated... TIA!

had same issue. found that the cgi scripts were blocked in apache

ZM uses /cgi-bin/nph-zms to stream. make sure cgi is enabled in apache

[user888]

Yeah, and make sure the cgi-bin scripts are accessible (with the right permissions set, try to open it directly, eg:

http://yoursite/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jp ... 1272449527

Also make sure your camera config is correct (Source tab). Eg. try a different pallet. Check your device properties with:

Code: Select all

zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v -V 2

or

Code: Select all

zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v -V 1
