Need a little help, my old zm server crashed and i decided to go at it from scratch again. This time debian 10 buster w/ zm 1.34. All is installed correctly (as far as i see) and i'm at the console adding my first IP camera. I choose remote, ip:port the path is set as user:password@address:port/videostream.cgi From here i'm missing something.

camera name has red dot
function of monitoring is in green but capturing is 0B/s
source IP:port is in read.


so i believe i'm connected but not capturing, does that seem correct?

some of my logs read as follows
'failed to capture image'
'return from capture signal loss'
unable to get response'
'unable to read header'


any advice is appreciated.

It would be helpful if you could detail what paths you used to get the camera working. Other people will come across these posts, and would benefit in that knowledge.

A walkthrough for adding ip cameras is on the wiki at https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Finding_Camera_Stream_Paths
