Broken image icon when viewing camera feed

[coppit]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get a Logitech Alert 700n camera working with ZM. I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.1, and based my install on other instructions I saw on the wiki. I installed the package instead of compiling from source.

When I use Chrome on Windows, I see a broken image icon where the video should be. With internet explorer I see a black image and 0 fps.

The camera works fine. I can connect to it via rtsp using VLC on a different computer. I can also ping the camera from my ZM computer. (It's actually a docker container. I posted separately about that.)

From the wiki, I see I need ffmpeg. I installed it this way:

Code: Select all

apt-get install -y python-software-properties software-properties-common
apt-add-repository -y ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg
apt-get update
apt-get install -y ffmpeg

I also enabled ffmpeg in the options, and provided the full path to it (/usr/bin/ffmpeg).

Thinking that maybe my cgi-bin dir was busted, I put a test.pl into /usr/lib/cgi-bin, and it worked fine.

I enabled detailed debugging, but didn't see anything in the camera's log.

I'm out of ideas. Does anyone have any advice on what to look at next?

I got it working. A few notes.

I had cambozola.jar in the wrong directory, and had it enabled in the options. Fail.

According to VLC my stream is 960 x 720, but anything above 640 x 480 doesn't work in the web UI.

Even when it does work with ffmpeg and 640 x 480, I have to reload the camera window for it to work. The first time around has a broken image.

Also, I may have corrupted my DB at some point, and perhaps that was contributing to the problem. Not sure.
