ZoneMinder Forums

Hi, first of all I congratulate for your work!, I have installed ZoneMinder and I have a problem, I can see the streaming in mozilla in monitor and in the events but when I try to generate the mpeg video always say "generation failed", I have compiled ffmeg and in the Options of ZoneMinder I choose to use ffmpeg. BUT IT FAIL.

I have to try ffmpeg -hq -i events/nº event/files.jpg prueba.mpg in command line i get "Unknow format"

if i try ffmpeg -formats get:
Output audio/video file formats: mpeg vcd vob mpegts crc image imagepipe mp2 ac3 h263 m4v h264 mpeg1video mjpeg s16le s16be u16le u16be s8 u8 mulaw alaw rawvideo null rm asf asf_stream avi wav swf au gif mpjpeg singlejpeg dv flv yuv4mpegpipe ffm audio_device rtp

Kim,
Seems like you are missing a perl module.

Follow this link to go to a thread where I explain an easy way to install Perl Modules on a Linux machine.

Thx. for that. i installed al the modules that it requierd... but it did not help. and i caht get it to show stils either, nor does it show any pictures when i edit zones

The perl module is a red herring in this case as it's nothing to do with the vide production. As Ian suggested above try looking in the video log (usually /tmp/zmvideo.log) and seeing if there is anything in there. Alternatively you can create videos from the command line which might make it easier to debug. Just type 'zmvideo.pl' to get the options you can use.

Make sure you run it as root or your web user to avoid problems with permissions.

Phil,

THANKS FOR ALL! I have resolve the problem:

In Debian the apache user is www-data no apache (as redhat), so the browser can't read the files (access denied). To resolve this, I changed in /etc/apache/httpd.conf

User: www-data
Group: www-data

TO

User: apache
Group: apache


AND ALL WORKS FINE

Thanks a lot for your work!

it turned out to be a premission problem with mysql... sorted it out and it works ok.. now if i only would get a picture in "Zones" just shows an X ... any iadeas?

i was a little to haysty... MySql premissions sorted out the zones problem to al i had to do was to turn it back on again. :)

[quote="djesus"]THANKS FOR ALL! I have resolve the problem:

Well, I still have a problem. Distribution is the latest ZM Live cd and zmvideo.log tells the following story:

Creating video file Event-89680.mpg for event 89680

Any guesses?
