MPEG streaming

[KorayPeksayar]

Hello,

I'm tryng to integrate Kutttpech Java MPEG player into ZoneMinder for using event playback, using Kutttpech's slider for forwarding-backwarding should be cool !

However MPEG streaming fails for me.

I've enabled debugging at level 9 and I can see all output.

The output while trying to stream an MPEG is:

Code: Select all

FAT-zm_mpeg.cpp/148 [Could not open codec]

Now what do I miss here ?

I've mpeg as the format 'live' video streams are played in.

Can you post a bit more debug if you have it? Also what version of ffmpeg are you using?

zmdebug.log has the following as soon as I refresh the live viewing page:

Code: Select all

or Creative IBC = 20, WUC = 25, pEC = 10, PEC = 10, EAF = 1, FRI = 1000, RBP = 10, FM = 0]

That's not too helpful then

What about the ffmpeg version?

And now it is:

Code: Select all

==> /var/log/zm/zm_debug.log <==
r Creative IBC = 20, WUC = 25, pEC = 10, PEC = 10, EAF = 1, FRI = 1000, RBP = 10, FM = 0]

12/07/05 19:34:49.364028 zms[23396].FAT-zm_mpeg.cpp/148 [Could not open codec]

However video creation works.
So far only live streaming doesn't work, haven't tried events yet

Can you check that LIVE_VIDEO_FORMAT is just 'mpeg' and not 'mpeg ' or any other combination with spaces or other funny characters in it. Also you could try just mpg without the 'e'.
