Having problems Generating Video
Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2011 2:27 pm
Hi I'm running v1.24.4 on Ubuntu 10.10 and everything seems to work fine except that I can't generate a video. When I try I receive a Video Generation Failed! error. When I check my ffmpeg.log it says the following:
I have tracked 3 places in the code where it creates the %0xd-capture.jpg but of course these files dont exist because they dont have a %0 or a 'd' in the flie names they are 001-capture.jpg 002-capture.jpg ... ect...
The first is located on line 1101 in /zm/includes/functions.php
The second is located on line 248 in /zm/skins/xml/views/actions.php
The last is on line 342 in /zm/skins/classic/includes/export_functions.php
The %0 and the 'd' made no real sense to me so I tried to modify those files removing the %0 and 'd' so it looked like this: This makes more sense to me since that should give results like 001-capture.jpg.
Much to my surprise after restarting ZM just to make sure ... I got the exact same error as above in my ffmpeg.log. Now I'm confused again. I'm may have missed a place where its adding this ... or its coincidence that the error reads %03d-capture.jpg: No such file or directory.
One thing I did note is that even if it was using the above codes it should look more like %0003d-capture.jpg: No such file or directory (%0+003+d-capture.jpg)
Im starting to think that the 3 in the error isnt actually a frame number... if I look at the error as %0 3 d-capture because if it was a frame number it should be a 3 digit number not a single digit. So its possible that the %0 and the 'd' is for some reason useful and my problem is that ZM_EVENT_IMAGE_DIGITS isnt actually producing the proper value.
Has anyone else ran into this and found a solution?
Oh I forgot to mention ... my events folder is not located in the zm directory zm is installed in /web/zm and the events are in /web2/ZoneMinder/events but like I said before .. everything else seems to work except for generating videos .. I can view them fine in the browser.
