Streaming problem

[omicronvt]

Running zm 1.24.2 in Ubuntu for some time with no errors. Suddenly i have no live video from monitors, events are recorded OK, but if i try to watch them: same problem ---> no video. View frame inside event is working OK. Video generation is working OK. Syslog reports no error. It is like zm refuses to stream video...

[MrMookey]

Here almost the same.
I run Ubuntu 10.04, having a Foscam FI8918W hooked on my modem/router.
I set up ZM, have everything on green (Modect, camera name) but no stream.
On probe I get : "Unable to probe network cameras, status is '127'"

Settings:
Remote Protocol: http
Remote Method: simple
host: user:pwd@ip-adress
port: port of the cam
hostpfad: /video.cgi
pixel: 640
480

I have been looking for hours but no avail.
I know it is working because it takes pics on detection! I see it in the "events".

How can this be solved?
It is the last step to complete it.

Any help is much appreciated!

[MrMookey]

Hey omicronvt have you found the solution yet?

I am this far that I do not have the error... i just get nothing. What about you??

[PacoLM]

Post the logs in /var/log/syslog just after starting zoneminder, it will help to determine the source of your problem. Have you checked the shared memory settings?.

@ PacoLM

ipcs -l

------ Shared Memory Limits --------
max number of segments = 4096
max seg size (kbytes) = 32768
max total shared memory (kbytes) = 8388608
min seg size (bytes) = 1

------ Semaphore Limits --------
max number of arrays = 128
max semaphores per array = 250

------ Messages: Limits --------

In the sysctl.conf I have:

#kernel.shmmax = 268435456

as for the /var/log/syslog :

Well the sending of the mail is what I will pick up later but the stream is my main concern.
Can you see how and what?
I really do appreciate your time and effort in this Paco!!!

[PacoLM]

If you get the image in the events but no live stream, then for sure should be a configuration problem. Which OS and internet browser are you using to see the live stream?.

Try this, just to check that everything is fine on the ZM image & source config side:
1st: change the source path, instead of video.cgi, try snapshot.cgi instead (I believe foscam cameras support it)
2nd: try with a lower resolution, 320x240 instead of 640x480.

Don't forget to restart ZM after these changes.

[MrMookey]

OS = 10.04 (lucid) and the default browser = firefox

Applied the changes as suggested but no avail.
So weird as when I do http:/myip/videostream.asf?user=&pwd=

I have the streaming.
Also from the basic Foscam ip... not from ZM.

Must be a small tweak.. but damn.. where man??

Thanks for your help dude!!!

[MrMookey]

Still trying and trying

As mentioned. It detects everything.
The bastard even keeps on filming

Now it is just the stream ...grrrrrrr

[MrMookey]

Running out of ideas and tweaks etc etc.
Any other options, suggestions???

One would be uninstalling it and try 1.25.x

But that does not guarantuee anything as well.

[MrMookey]

Finally I got it working only now the controls

Getting there!!
