Code: Select all
(Note: I had to remove 4 or 5 very relevant links from this post, one of which is an fpaste of my debug log, as the Preview function thought it was "too spammy". If someone could PLEASE remove that from my profile, it would be immensely appreciated as this additional information is very important to filling in the blanks here... I can then edit this post with the links to fill in those blanks... Just looking for assistance and to help those in the future that run across this post. No bad karma...

These did come up as errors that would prevent a make, but had I read the log, I'd have seen that they were fatal errors (as per the log). Basically, ZM's config file couldn't find libavutil/avutil.h, libavcodec/avcodec.h, libavformat/avformat.h, libswscale/libswscale.h, and pcre/pcre.h. (ac.nonexistent.h also comes up as missing, but my understanding is that's a test header file) These issues have been documented in similar threads and points in the wiki:link removed
link removedh There are others, but the advised solution is to drop a
into the ./configure statement. This didn't help me.CPPFLAGS="-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS
That took me further into the config.log and then over into configure and configure.ac... This post in particular clued me into what I think was a problem with configure.ac... link removed, where's it's detailed:
That took me into playing with the --with-ffmpeg option extensively.. no matter what path I put in there, nothing helped. I tried> Hi,

,/usr/share/ffmpeg
,/usr/local/include/ffmpeg
and nothing worked... ./configure kept on looking for the lib files above as either/usr/bin/ffmpeg
or/user/include/ffmpeg/include
, etc when it needed to look injust /user/include
. So, I took a much closer look at configure.ac and made the following changes:/usr/include/ffmpeg
1. Added "/ffmpeg" on end of following two lines:

So now I tested the ability to view mpg steams for events and for live viewing with no success. I'm still getting a blank or black screen depending on the mpeg, wms, mov or whatever.. I've pretty much tested them all on all 3 browsers and 2 machines... Nothing in the zm*logs, nothing in the httpd error_log, but again I do get something interesting in /var/log/messages:
I've bolded what look like the interesting parts...Aug 2 23:12:47 9745 zms[18351]: INF [Debug Level = 0, Debug Log = <none>]

I also grabbed the very detailed zm_debug.log.18354 and put it here: link removed The beginning and end looking interesting...
That's where I'm at... I'm not a programmer and I'm not sure if the changes I made to configure.ac were correct, but I'm trying my best make progress here and I'm hoping one of the experts can jump in and point me in the right direction. If nothing else, hopefully this post will serve to help folks in the future... Thanks in advance for any assistance provided!
