ZoneMinder Forums

Hi,
I'm running zoneminde 1.24.2 on a debian squeeze box. Besides other things mainly to provide a webserver where i can watch 4 webcams at the same time, using the "montage" feature.
I'm using 4 allnet 2290, grabbing the mpeg4 stream over rtsp.

It was working more than fine for over a year, but since I did a regular aptitude update / aptitude upgrade now suddenly the pictures get blury all the time and the stream stops and stuff like that.
If i restart zoneminder its running fine for a few seconds before going bad again.

Anybody got any idea what i can do now?

seems like i got it working again by deupdating the ffmpeg package (using aptitude, had to deupgrade some other packages to to make it work).

"
i 4:0.5.2-6
p 5:0.6.1+svn20101128-0.2
"

0.6.1 caused trouble for me, have to pin version 0.5.2 for now.

btw, iam running debian squeeze, 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64

What other packages did you have to "deupgrade"?

I told aptitude to install the older ffmpeg version. Then it told me there where dependencies not resolved. So i checked the suggestions, the 3rd one offered 3 downgrades besides ffmpeg, so i did that one. It also removed some other packages, which apparently where installed as dependencies to one of packages newer version.


I copied to important parts from my dpkg.log:
