Ubuntu 9.10
Zm 1.24.2
ffmpeg SVN-20800
Everything compiles fine without any complaints. Zoneminder works fine in all aspects I've tried except video generation.
zmvideo.log
Code: Select all
12/17/09 16:46:26.771545 zmvideo[14502].INF [Creating video file Event-925312-r1-s1.mov for event 925312]
12/17/09 16:46:26.936526 zmvideo[14502].ERR [Unable to generate video, check /var/www//events/8/09/12/17/15/50/00/ffmpeg.log for details]
ffmpeg.log
Code: Select all
cat /var/www//events/8/09/12/17/15/50/00/ffmpeg.log
sh: /usr/local/: Permission denied
ls -l /usr (non-local omitted)
Code: Select all
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 288 2008-06-13 14:26 local
Cranking ZM's debug up to 9 didn't seem to reveal anything, can't seem to locate any log with more detailed information. Any idea what's having permission denied to it, or how I might find that out?[/code]

I think the video is generated on the event folder...
/var/www//events/8/09/12/17/15/50/00/
what's
ls -l /var/www//events
??? try www-data

ls -l /var/www/, sans the other directories:
drwxr-xr-x 29 www-data www-data 1528 2009-12-16 15:41 events

What's the path to ffmpeg? Maybe it's accidentally /usr/local instead of /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg and it's trying to execute the folder

Actually, there was an ffmpeg executable in /usr/local in addition to the one in /usr/local/bin. Got rid of it, rebooted, recompiled zoneminder, still the same error.
I guess the next plan is to recompile ffmpeg with it's debug level cranked up and see if it gives me a more useful log.

Forgot I spoke some perl. Just edited zmvideo.pl to discover that it is, in fact, trying to execute /usr/local/bin itself. Apparently path to ffmpeg has to actually include the word ffmpeg.
Now I have a real error I can search for.
Code: Select all
/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg: undefined symbol: avcodec_decode_video2
