I can't get any live video

[neosmatrix]

Zoneminder is compiling fine now, but I tried the whole day to get live streaming to work, with no luck. I installed several ffmpeg versions, removed all old libs, double checked apache, checked permissions, changed /etc/sysctl.conf according to same threads to this:
kernel.shmall = 1073741824
kernel.shmmax = 1073741824
but nothing had helped me.

The debug.log shows this

What you say is debug.log, is that generated by ZM or the system? It looks a lot to me like a system generated log, in which case I feel pretty safe in saying that you don't have your monitor configured properly.

Is your moniitor set up as /dev/video0 ? It should be.

Looks like is falling out at the conversion. Do you have the latest ffmpeg from SVN installed or what do you get from ffmpeg --version

I enabled debug in the web console, or do you mean something else?

Yes the webcam is /dev/video0

What you say is debug.log, is that generated by ZM or the system?

I enabled debug in the web console, or do you mean something else?

No, I meant just what I asked. ZM puts it's logs (by default) in /tmp and the system puts it's logs in /var/log. The debug.log you are posting looks to be a system log. Just curious. You'll probably want to crank the debug level up a couple of notches also to get much meaningful info from the system. Generally speaking a debug level of 0 is just that, no debugging, although I'm not certain about ZM.

Do you have the latest ffmpeg from SVN installed or what do you get from ffmpeg --version

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg -version
FFmpeg version SVN-r17115, 

I'm pretty sure that Phil built the release on version 17098 of ffmpeg, so you "should" be ok with the version you are using. Don't waste your time playing with anything older though since it likely won't work anyway. You may want to try pulling down and installing that specific version of ffmpeg and see if it helps. But before you go to all of that time and effort....

can you post /tmp/zmdc.log? Just from the last ZM startup is fine.

You may have been bitten by the issue in this post. If so try going into your monitor config and toggling the Video for Linux version, then select the palette etc again.

To make sure that this issue doesn't come from a change in ffmpeg I compiled the version you mentioned. Then I recompiled zoneminder agaist this version.

You may have been bitten by the issue in this post. If so try going into your monitor config and toggling the Video for Linux version, then select the palette etc again.

I switched several times between v4l and v4l2. I recreated the monitor and switched between the Video for Linux version. I see the error mentioned in this thread, but this doesn't solve my problem.

I saw this error in my error.log from my apache web server:

Someone in this forum had an issue like this with 4GB ram. He pulled out 2GB and the error was gone.
I have 8GB of ram, but I did a memtest and no errors after 8 Hours.

Ah, I see. I configured all logs to /var/log/zm and debug level is already 9.

I see what you're up to now. Makes sense.

My directory looks this too. but all debug.log's does contain the same and I don't want to post all of it.

Makes sense too since you're only using one monitor.

Here's some gdb output:

Good idea.

[nuck]

Comparing the gdb output you posted to what I'd posted a couple of days ago it looks as though you're crashing for the same reason I was when I was using V4L1 and trying to multiplex 2 cameras.

May well not be significant, but is your monitor configured for V4L1 or 2? Sorry if the question is redundant. I just don't feel like re-reading the whole thread now since it's late.

[neosmatrix]

I tried both methods, with every combinations of color palette and the resolutions 640x480, 320x240.
vlc works fine with V4L2 and 640x480

[zoneminder]

Have you tried with the SVN version?

Have you tried with the SVN version?

Hmm no not yet. I searched the forum, website and wiki. Is there an anonymous svn access availablem or do I have to register at http://www.ctu-web.com ?

Details as http://svn.zoneminder.com or you can download a diff patch from the Patches section of the Wiki.
