Hi!

I want to install Zoneminder 1.30 feature-h264-videostorage branch on centos 7
https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinde ... deostorage

I don't can wait until merge, and after the package.

Can someone give me some instructions, how can i install this specific branch?

Option 1.
http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/lat ... er-package
Follow that guide, somewhere down the bottom after git submodule stuff you need to do git checkout feature-h264-videostorage so it builds on that.

Option 2. Sorry both of us working on it are on ubuntu.
Install Ubuntu
https://launchpad.net/~iconnor/+archive ... deostorage

Happy to hear about bugs, but can't promise any level of support.

SteveGilvarry is correct. Follow the instructions in the readthedocs link he posted.
I wrote those instructions to be virtually copy and paste. The first part steps you through building an rpm identical to what is in zmrepo. While you won't be using this rpm, it is important to go through these steps to verify your environment is set up correctly.

Once that finished successfully, read the last part of the instructions:
http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/lat ... r-to-build

There is only one additional step you need to do to build an rpm based off the h264 feature branch:

Code: Select all

cd /path/to/your/local/zoneminder/git/repo
git checkout feature-h2t64-videostorage

Then it should build just like the previous steps, only you'll have an rpm which uses the h264 feature branch.

bttd pretty sure I found the cause of this tonight, recently we added the ability to record audio. Only problem is MP4 limits types of audio streams and many cameras output pcm mono audio line alaw and ulaw.
To check this try running, and you should see audio stream details and the same error message. Paste the results if you don't mind so I can see stream info.
ffmpeg -i rtsp://@192.168.241.1:62156 -acodec copy -vcodec copy ./abc.mp4

Try turning off the audio stream in your camera. At some point I will add a filter to ensure streams are compatible and maybe even transcode the stream to a compatible format.

I completely rewrote the zonemidner spec file, which is why the build is complaining about missing folders.
Until the next release comes out, you will need to perform a few extra steps

Off the top of my head (might not be perfect):
- git clone https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder (do NOT use git to install the submodule)
- cp distros/redhat/zoneminder.spec ~/rpbmuild/SPECS/
- Open the specfile and set Version to 1.30.2
- git checkout feature-h264-videostorage
- now create a tarfile of the cloned repo, call it zoneminder-1.30.2.tar.gz, and put it into ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
- Yum install spectool
- cd ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
- spectool -s ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/zoneminder.spec
- cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
- create a new srpm
- Perform the mock using mock or buildzm.sh

hi knnniggett,
i install Zoneminder 1.3.0 on Centos 7
i installed follow the link http://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/lat ... er-package

"Now comes the fun part. To build ZoneMinder, issue the following command:
buildzm.sh zmrepo-el7-x86_64 ~/rpmbuild/SRPMS/zoneminder-1.28.1-2.el7.centos.src.rpm"

it reported success then but i don't know what i have to do next step with next instructions :

Notice that the buildzm.sh tool requires the following parameters:
buildzm.sh MOCKCONFIG ZONEMINDER_SRPM
The list of available Mock config files are available here:
ls /etc/mock/zmrepo*.cfg
You choose the config file based on the desired distro (e.g. el6, el7, f20, f21) and basearch (e.g. x86, x86_64, arhmhfp). Notice that, when specifying the Mock config as a commandline parameter, you should leave off the ”.cfg” filename extension.

If no have to do these steps please explaint for me what i have to do :

Once the build completes, you will be presented with a folder containing the RPM’s that were built. Copy the newly built ZoneMinder RPM to the desired system, enable zmrepo per the instruction on the Zmrepo website, and then install the rpm by issuing the appropriate yum install command. Finish the installation by following the zoneminder setup instructions in the distro specific readme file, named README.{distroname}, which will be installed into the /usr/share/doc/zoneminder* folder.

i tried 3 times to install zm with h264-videostorage but not sucess bc i do not know much about linux
thank you a lot
