ZoneMinder Forums

I like to use rstp for some ip cam's but the log shows:

zmc_m2[29001]: FAT [You must have ffmpeg libraries installed to use remote camera protocol 'rtsp' for monitor 2]

I rebuild zoneminder and rebuild ffmpeg/x264 and added

--with-ffmpeg \
--with-extralibs="`pkg-config --libs libavcodec libavdevice libavfilter libavformat libavutil libpostproc libswscale`" \
CPPFLAGS=-D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS \

to the configure lines in zoneminder.spec and it complies fine running rpmbuild --clean -ba zoneminder.spec

part of the output:

checking libavutil/avutil.h usability... yes

Running: Fedora 17 x86_64
Using zoneminder-1.25 source RPM patchlevel 10 for Fedora 19 and
ffmpeg-devel-0.10.6-1.fc17.x86_64, ffmpeg-0.10.6-1.fc17.x86_64 and ffmpeg-libs-0.10.6-1.fc17.x86_64 rebuild them against x264 libraries

Any suggestions?

Hi Marcnl,,

I am having the same trouble using Ubuntu 12.04 64 server.
Spending a week on reading in the forum and googling,,,, ( got squary eyes ) regarding a message in ZM log "You must have ffmpeg libraries installed to use ffmpeg cameras"

I did compile ZM from SVN several times following hints which I did find in the forum,,, at the end,,, no luck.

Looking at all the entries regarding this specific problem , I seems to me that I am not the only one.

Did you find a solution to your problem ?

Cheers
