ZoneMinder Forums

I need one of you smart guys to help. I had an older version of ZoneMinder working on an older version of Ubuntu. I had some free time a few days ago and decided to update both. In the process, something broke.

The problem is I can't see any images. But I think its working, its capturing events.

If I use Chrome, uncheck OPT_CAMBOZOLA, and click a monitor name, it shows a blank where the video should be but it does show the fps.
If I use Chrome, check OPT_CAMBOZOLA, and click a monitor name, it does not show the fps, and instead of a blank video area it has, "on: <my local ip>/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&monitor=1&scale=100&maxfps=15&buffer=1000&connkey="

Clicking 'LOG' shows the cameras capturing and processing. It also has an error, "socket_sendto( /tmp/zm/zms-557317s.sock ) failed: No such file or directory".

How do I get video working again?

I got it partially fixed. The 000-default file in /sites-enabled/ had the wrong port number (80 vs 84).

Now I can see video, but only for 10 seconds! After the 10 seconds, the image disappears and the fps counter appears to be frozen at its last report. The disappearing act happens to both my webcam and ip cam.

Another anomaly, the webcam displays static, like a tv not properly tuned.

I'm stumped at this:


It a webcam. It used to work. An ip cam still works. Cheese and another webcam viewer work fine with it.

lsusb tells me its a: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 093a:2468 Pixart Imaging, Inc. SoC PC-Camera

v4l2-ctl --list-devices tells me: CIF Single Chip (usb-0000:00:1d.2-1):
/dev/video0

zmu -d /dev/video0 -q -v tells me: Error, failed to enumerate standard 0: Success


I'll take any advice anyone is willing to provide.
