Asante Voyager II

Post by watou »

Hi, I have latest ZoneMinder working with three USB webcams no problem. I just received an Asante Voyager II IP camera and its RTSP streams work with VLC and QuickTime. However, when ZoneMinder tries to parse its stream, it encounters an "event" stream type that is not "audio" or "video":

Code: Select all

zmc_m6[10879]: ERR [Unsupported media type 'event' in SDP media attribute 'event 0 RTP/AVP 69']
I see in http://svn.zoneminder.com/svn/zm/trunk/src/zm_sdp.cpp that this is where the error is reported:

Code: Select all

                if ( mediaType != "audio" && mediaType != "video" )
                    throw Exception( "Unsupported media type '"+mediaType+"' in SDP media attribute '"+line+"'" );
I would wager that a gingerly stepping around this "event" media type would be all that was needed to support this IP camera. If there is a spec out there that this camera adheres for this "media type", then it's possible that it could help with motion detection, etc.

So, my questions are: 1) Does anyone know anything about making this IP cam work with ZoneMinder? 2) Would the maintainers change the code to step around this media type instead of throwing an exception?

Many thanks for any thoughts or suggestions.

Regards, watou
