New instlal on Ubuntu Server - No video playback

[ScottBouch]

Hi all,

My cameras are working, and ZM is recording successfully using modect. I can see the recorded still images.

I cannot:

View individual live streams from the cameras using the ZM-console.
View montage / cycle monitor
View videos of recordings / replays
Download videos of recordings
Download log files

I can:

View live rtsp steams using VLC of all my cameras.
View recorded still images by clicking on "Alarm Frames", or going to the "Stills" view
View recorded images by browsing to the folders on my CCTV drive.

As I can't download log files, here are some cut & paste snippets form my logs whe I've tried viewing streams and recorded events, apologies about the formatting, but I can't see how to create a table in my forum post:

Can't save log files:

Ubuntu server 18.04 LTS headless.
ZM v1.30.4 - it keeps on suggesting I upgrade ZM to v1.32.3, but as I work away form home I dare not do this via SSH in case I break it and can't be there to fix it.
Client-wise, I'm viewing using Firefox on Linux Manjaro, but also have used Firefox on Linux Mint and Firefox on Windows 10.

(Oops, I realise I've put this in the 1.32 forum, sorry)

Cheers, Scott
