No Video (all else is fine) new install

Post by teraquad »

Hi,

I just completed a new installation of 1.28. it all appears to work except i have no video. I have had an easy time of it since i used 1.24 and 1.25 some years ago. I am certain the cameras are working as i get events when they occur and the console is working well.

The log says:[ invalid response status 404 : not found and unable to get response.

Any help with this would be much appropriated

Thanks, George....

404 is a standard http response code for "not found". It sounds like the url to your camera's video feed is incorrect.

Try adding a /zm to your web path, for instance: 192.168.1.33:88/zm/index.php

After more than 15 years, no longer using ZM as surveillance system.
Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...

Hi,
I guess i am not being clear. I have the console with no problems. In fact i have 2 cameras with 30 some events each. that tells me that they are working, just not showing the video. I have 2 cameras that are not working and i presume to be the ones reporting as not found. the other 2 behave just fine and are the ones i am looking at. In fact i just deleted both dead ones and now all i have for a log is frame rates of 11 and 12 .

I am pretty sure the cameras are set up correctly and are running fine. Just missing video on the console.

Thanks! George....

Hmmm, see my solution in the thread for the Foscam 9900 - could it be something like that?

Because my problem was pretty much exactly what you are experiencing.

It's very hard to help you with just one line of a log.
1. Please post a snapshot of the general/source tabs of the camera settings (please mask IP/passwords as fit)
2. Please post detailed logs - please don't cherry pick only the final error message
3. When trying to view a live view, take a look at your apache error logs -- please post those logs too
I no longer work on zmNinja, zmeventnotification, pyzm or mlapi. I may respond on occasion based on my available time/interest.

Hi,

Here is the log file as it came up this morning. Not only are there frame rates but also some errors. Perhaps they will be helpful. This is an older machine but at 2.8 Ghz and 2 Gb ram it should work just fine I would think. Meanwhile I will do some studying on the problem and see what comes up.

After more than 15 years, no longer using ZM as surveillance system.
Now in the dark side, using a commercial system...

@teraquad I think I had helped you a year or two ago. At the time, you were running Fedora. Is this still the case?

If you are running a Redhat distro, you should install zoneminder via zmrepo:
http://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/

Follow the instructions, exactly, and you should not have any problems. The timezone issue you posted previously, is documented in the instructions.

I have this timezone error endlessly as well.
I need this fix for a Puppy Linux install. What is it exactly?

https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinde ... DME.Fedora

See item #4 under New Installs.
These instructions are specific to Fedora so the steps may not apply or may not be the same for your distro.
