Hi

I'm trying to use an ACTi ACD-2300 8-channel MPEG-4 1U Video Encoder with zoneminder.
I'm currently having a problem with zoneminder not recognizing the video stream.

With VLC I can see the stream, using the following address:
http : / / ***:***@x . x . x . x:800/cgi-bin/cmd/encoder?GET_STREAM

When configuring in ZM the monitor stays green but doesn't show any image when using the live function.

After enabling debug mode I can see the following being repeated all the time:

08/12/11 15:02:18.420274 zmc_m2[-1].DB3-zm_remote_camera_http.cpp/196 [Read 77 bytes]

The ACTi is configured in MPEG4 mode, when I set it in MJPEG the result is the same.

I have other camera working in ZM.

Is this encoder incompatible with zm? Or is there something I'm missing?

Thank you
