no image with swf stream

Post by bibermann »

Hi,
We are running zm 1.24.2 on ubuntu 10.10 installed from the Zoneminder Install DVD.
We use two logitech C500 usb cams each connected to a seperate internal card.
When we use a resolution of 320x240px and set the stream-format to swf everything works fine and we can see the stream in monitor mode.
So we tried with a higher resolution (640x480) But this didnt work. We disconnected one cam and changed stream-format to asf.
Everything ok we have a live picture.
Changing the format to swf nothing. No not nothing, the monitor window pops up no picture just a white screen.
On the bottom of the monitor window you can see the text "idle - 5.02 frames/s ". (same with 1 fps)
So we turned on debugging and searched in the messages but everything seems ok no errors or warnings.
We have tried different Browsers (IE, FF, Chrome) on different machines all with the same problem - just white picture with status text. cpu load ist about 0.14.
here is the output of messages:

Maybe its a problem with ffmpeg, we left the input and output options to the default
If we missed some info please let us know.
Thanks in advance.

Don't know what you mean by swf, but the most common reason for a feed working in low res but not high is that the shared memory is not enough.

See the wiki for shmall / shmmax settings,
