Hi everybody

I'm running on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS with ZM 1.25.0 and with a video capture card a base de chip BT878.

My video-capture card works perfectly with v4l2 using VLC I can have the video preview with this command line:

Code: Select all

vlc v4l2:///dev/video0:input=1

I installed ZoneMinder sucessfully and I get a problem when I try to probe the camera :

Code: Select all

Unable to probe network cameras, status is '127'

So I looked after information and I found this fix :

Code: Select all

#Si se agrega un nuevo monitor o se modifica un existente y se quiere usar la funcion Probe muestra un error: Unable to probe network cameras, status is '127'
#Para solucionar el error editamos como root el archivo /skins/classic/views/monitorprobe.php y buscamos la linea $command = "arp -a";
#Esa linea se sustituye con: $command = "/usr/sbin/arp -a";
#Ya debe funcionar Probe.

I modified the monitorprobe.php file, and I follow to get the same error.

I tried the command /usr/sbin/arp -a into a terminal and I get this result (it sould be correct) :

Code: Select all

hn-server@hn-server:/usr/share/zoneminder/skins/classic/views$ /usr/sbin/arp -a
Axxel-PC.home (192.168.1.112) en 90:e6:ba:22:a6:e3 [ether] en eth0
livebox.home (192.168.1.1) en 98:8b:5d:3d:7a:85 [ether] en eth0
hn-server@hn-server:/usr/share/zoneminder/skins/classic/views$

I tried to restart the ZM Service with

Code: Select all

sudo service zoneminder restart

The ZM service stops correctly ans starts correctly without any error message.

I looked after this post : http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... obe#p74901

and this post http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... obe#p75814

and I couldn't find anything which can help mi to solve the problem

Please help me!

Best regards.
