Running zm 1.24.2 in Ubuntu for some time with no errors. Suddenly i have no live video from monitors, events are recorded OK, but if i try to watch them: same problem ---> no video. View frame inside event is working OK. Video generation is working OK. Syslog reports no error. It is like zm refuses to stream video...

Here almost the same.
I run Ubuntu 10.04, having a Foscam FI8918W hooked on my modem/router.
I set up ZM, have everything on green (Modect, camera name) but no stream.
On probe I get : "Unable to probe network cameras, status is '127'"

Settings:
Remote Protocol: http
Remote Method: simple
host: user:pwd@ip-adress
port: port of the cam
hostpfad: /video.cgi
pixel: 640
480

I have been looking for hours but no avail.
I know it is working because it takes pics on detection! I see it in the "events".

How can this be solved?
It is the last step to complete it.

Any help is much appreciated!

Hey omicronvt have you found the solution yet?

I am this far that I do not have the error... i just get nothing. What about you??

Post the logs in /var/log/syslog just after starting zoneminder, it will help to determine the source of your problem. Have you checked the shared memory settings?.

@ PacoLM

ipcs -l

------ Shared Memory Limits --------
max number of segments = 4096
max seg size (kbytes) = 32768
max total shared memory (kbytes) = 8388608

------ Messages: Limits --------

In the sysctl.conf I have:

as for the /var/log/syslog :

Well the sending of the mail is what I will pick up later but the stream is my main concern.
Can you see how and what?
I really do appreciate your time and effort in this Paco!!!

If you get the image in the events but no live stream, then for sure should be a configuration problem. Which OS and internet browser are you using to see the live stream?.

Try this, just to check that everything is fine on the ZM image & source config side:
1st: change the source path, instead of video.cgi, try snapshot.cgi instead (I believe foscam cameras support it)
2nd: try with a lower resolution, 320x240 instead of 640x480.

Don't forget to restart ZM after these changes.

PacoLM

OS = 10.04 (lucid) and the default browser = firefox

Applied the changes as suggested but no avail.
So weird as when I do http:/myip/videostream.asf?user=&pwd=

I have the streaming.
Also from the basic Foscam ip... not from ZM.

Must be a small tweak.. but damn.. where man??

Thanks for your help dude!!!

Still trying and trying

As mentioned. It detects everything.
The bastard even keeps on filming

Now it is just the stream ...grrrrrrr

Running out of ideas and tweaks etc etc.
Any other options, suggestions???

One would be uninstalling it and try 1.25.x

But that does not guarantuee anything as well.

Finally I got it working only now the controls

Getting there!!
