[kot488]

On CentOS installed ZoneMinder v1.29.0. And connect two HP web camera/
When you run an error:

Did you ever at any previous time install zoneminder from source on the target machine?
That is usually what causes this issue.

Short answer, your machine is not clean.

[kot488]

Before this was set 1.26, deleted and restored 1.29
reinstall centos?

[knight-of-ni]

It depends on how good you are at finding the former ZoneMinder files.

You need to:
- delete the old zm.conf file
- Run "sudo make uninstall" to uninstall most (but not all) of the former files
- "make uninstall" will not uninstall the Perl modules (Perl Make::Maker claims this is a feature not a bug). You have to find the old Perl modules and delete all of them.
- delete everything related to ZoneMinder under /usr/local

Only then should you install ZoneMinder from zmrepo.
It is possible to backup your former events files and database, but it is easier to start over.

[kot488]

I have a test computer on a clean сentos, I try to install 1.29.0

[knight-of-ni]

I build and install centos packages every week.

Nearly all reported problems can be attributed to:
- target system is not clean and/or incompatible application (like Astrisk) already on the machine or a conflicting repo exists.
- failure to follow the README instructions exactly
- insufficient hardware resources

Ovoid those issues and zoneminder will install and run perfectly.

[kot488]

Install 1.29.0, but the video does not show(((
'zmc -d /dev/video1' exited abnormally, exit status 255 zmdc.pl
Failed to get picture attributes: Invalid argument zm_local_camera.cpp
'zmc -d /dev/video0' exited abnormally, exit status 255 zmdc.pl
Failed to get picture attributes: Invalid argument zm_local_camera.cpp

[knight-of-ni]

Not much can be said because you have not provided us with much to go on.

You are attempting to use a local device. Does the device require a module which must be configured?
You might need to play with the V4L multibuffer settings.

What is the complete monitor configuration?
What is the make/model of your local device?
We also need to see more log output, from the moment zoneminder is started until just after errors appear (do not attempt to view the monitor during this test).

The resolution you enter needs to be exactly correct, down to the pixel. Do that by using a third party application, like vlc, to tell you what the resolution should be.

If you are certain the resolution is correct, then see the dropdown for Capture method? Try changing that to Video for Linux version 2, if it is available.
Also check the multibuffer settings. Try to find a combination that works.
Other settings one must get correct are Device Format and Capture palette.

One webcam launched
One web camera launched, selecting second:
Unable to probe local cameras, status is '255'

Connect a second camera on the psi usb controller and the camera starts,

That will happen if you alter either DIR_EVENTS or DIR_IMAGES under Options. Please read the help text for these parameters (click the "?") to learn how to properly change where events are recorded.
