Any outstanding issues?

[szimszon]

Hi!

I wonder if somebody could help me!

I recently installed 1.24beta (ZoneMinder-1.24.0-rc1-2740.tar.gz)

If I watch live jpeg streaming after a while I got -139 fps or so on display and live streaming is stalled. I have to restart my firefox 3.0.5 or restart apache2...

The zm page doesn't respond until I restart ff or apache

I got the same result with nph-zms...

I wasn't able to use mpeg streaming but the video generation works fine with ffmpeg

There isn't any additional log in zm*log or syslog...

The -139.76 fps seems to be a constans fps value...

With ff 3.1 Beta2 the result is the same

Would you mind rebuilding with debug enabled? You'll have to recreate the error I think for addr2line to work though.
--enable-debug=yes

Done, and used the switch --enable-crashtrace=yes as well. I still get the same output:

I have tried channels over zero here and don't get the issue. I wonder if there is a driver problem.

Phil, I have rc1_2740mm running using a generic 4 input 1 chip bttv card. The same system I've been using with previous rc versions. I cannot get a monitor to work on any channel other than channel 0.
I have also updated my kernel to 2.6.28.2. The bttv driver does work on all channels with xawtv so I really suspect the changes to zm. I did create a new database with the last zm build and so had to recreate the monitors. I have tried both v4l1 and v4l2 with several different palettes but no go. The error in syslog looks like this:

If anyone has a similar card and it's working properly I will consider this a problem with my system or configuration. Can anyone confirm or deny a problem with multiple channel single chip devices?

I have a similar card, and my problems were solved by passing the card=42 option to modprobe. Apparently the bttv driver is incapable of autodetecting these cards.

I wonder if there is a driver problem.

I reinstalled zm 1.23.3 on this system and it still works on all channels.

I have a similar card, and my problems were solved by passing the card=42 option to modprobe. Apparently the bttv driver is incapable of autodetecting these cards.

OK tried that. Also card=77 which I have been using with this card. Nothing seems to help this issue

If most others are not seeing this problem then don't hold up release on my account. I can sort this out later.

BTW with rc1_2740 I cannot use swf streaming. It was working with rc1_2737. I was inclined to suspect ffmpeg which I had to update before rc1_2740 would build. But 1.23.3 will stream swf with this ffmpeg, so ??

Ross there is at least one other account that I have seen, the post showed up right aftter I got off the phone with you. If I find it again I'll put the link in this post.

Have you looked in "kernel"/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv to see if you can't find a specific identifier for your card? Mine is a 118 -> LMLBT4

As yet I haven't had a chance to look at the changelog to see if anything has been done recently that may be upsetting things. Wife has had me busy doing that "life" thing...

I'll have another go at it later on today. It was the 5th monitor I was trying to add at the time I ran into my problem. I've also noticed that 1.23.3 can be stubborn about certain options (setting a camera to 640x480) on my system without a restart, so perhaps I was a bit premature in assuming anything is "broken" that may not have been previously.

I made some tests on my PC, no failed memory or capacitor as I see...

It seems that only the live streaming is affected.

Just curious. Have you updated your ZM install to the latest svn release?

Not yet. If I have luck then at weekend I give it a try... After I'll report if something change.

Look here. http://svn.zoneminder.com/

You'll also want to have a look around (I know it's here somewhere) and find out for sure what the oldest ffmpeg release is that you'll be able to use. When ZM-1.24.0 was released ffmpeg was a rapidly moving target (still is) and it was just a matter of a day and you had a version that was too old.
