I am working on Zonerama to generate meshed videos and have it where it generates the combined files into an avi as an event. Issue is, I can see the stills but it will not show the video. I switched the Options>Images>MPEG_LIVE_FORMAT and MPEG_REPLAY_FORMAT to avi to see if I could see the streams from the cameras and they are blank although I can see the FPS etc. as though it is getting the video. If I switch the above options back to swf, I can see the streams just fine from the cameras. I suspect I have missed something dumb to allow me to see the avi streams, but cannot seem to hunt it down. Any thoughts? Thanks!

hi,

i dont think zoneminder offers support for streaming avi files, it only steams the stuff it has recordet itself. if you want to be able to stream the zonerama videos, you would have to some coding yourself, like finding the videos and make them watchable with one of the many swf players out there.

it may look like it should be possible to stream the generated videos over the web interface, but this is currently not implented. you may use samba to make the events directory available to your users. that way they can play them easily with their prefered video player.
