I installed zoneminder to ubuntu 12.04. I was planning to install 1.27 directly trough the iconnor ppa, but forgot to do apt-get update before apt-get install zoneminder. I then ended up with 1.25 from the ubuntu repository. So I just did apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade later to upgrade to 1.27. I did not notice any problems with the upgrade.
The machine has been recording for a while, and all seems fine. But when I try to play back an event, it opens the watch event window (classic skin), and just show the first image from the event. It shows some other images first, but I'm not sure if they are from the same event. It kind of skips back or forward to the first image in the event. No pause or play or skip to next seem to have any effect. The progress bar is blank, and the time stays still.
I know the events are complete, because I can export the events, and see that they are complete.
watching the streams live works without any problem
I have tried the flat skin as well, with the same result.
The zoneminder log shows these messages after some seconds of playing back the event:
The apache log shows these messages after some seconds of playing back the event:web_php | Timed out waiting for msg | /usr/share/zoneminder/includes/functions.php
web_js | getCmdResponse stream error: Timed out waiting for msg - checkStreamForErrors() | ?view=event
I would have reinstalled zoneminder, if I didn't need the recorded events. I'm worried I will loose the events if I purge zoneminder and then install.[error] [client MYIP] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: remSocketFile in /usr/share/zoneminder/ajax/stream.php on line 73, referer: http://SERVERIP/zm/index.php?view=event ... c=1&page=1

I have the same setup (ubuntu server 12.04 with 1.27) on several other computers, and have tried the same encoder (axis 7014) earlier, but not had the same problem.
I would greatly appreciate any help with this.
