I was able to install libnvidia-encode1 on my Debian as an alternative to the libnvidia-decode-440 which includes libcuda and libcuvid. https://packages.debian.org/buster/libnvidia-encode1 After a reboot, ffmpeg still has no cuda/cuvid acceleration. Probably I need to install or configure something ...

Does this also applies to none VMWare ESX servers?
I have ZM running dedicated on a custom server with latest Debian installed (no virtualization).

I've tried this source, but to no avail.

Hi, I have an Nvidia NVS510 Quadro card which support CUDA. The drivers are installed and CUDA has been enabled. NVIDIA-SMI 460.32.03 Driver Version: 460.32.03 CUDA Version: 11.2 NVCC output: /usr/local/cuda-11.2/bin/nvcc -V nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver Copyright (c) 2005-2021 NVIDIA Corpor...

Seems I've made a stupid mistake. When I created a DNS address in my domain, I've pointed it to my ENO2 static IP that is used for the CAM VLAN, instead of pointing it to the static IP of ENO1 on my MAN VLAN... The main reason was for additional security as I tend to tighten up the FW rules for my C...

Hi, I've set up a new dedicated server (an old Dell R310) using Debian 10 and I've configured the two NICS with each its own static IP. ENO1 is in my server VLAN for accessing the ZM webinterface, SSH, etc... ENO2 is in my camera VLAN for directly accessing the IP cams How can I make sure that: 1. E...

Well I had a different character then the '%' sign.
Suffice to say certain characters will/ could break the URL.

e.g. '@', '%', ...

Not sure if these are "fixable". Anyway its resolved

Found the issue!!!

It was due to the password I've used, seems that the encoding messes up passwords with special characters...

Ha when running the ffprobe I now get this error: [rtsp @ xxx] method OPTIONS failed: 401 Unauthorized rtsp://username:password@ipaddress:554/h264/ch1/main/av_stream: Server returned 401 Unauthorized (authorization failed) The virtual server is in the same vlan as the camera's so you couldn't say it...

Ok, stupid of me. It was indeed the quotes. Now I get a different error with ffplay: Could not initialize SDL - No available video device (Did you set the DISPLAY variable?) But that could be due to the fact its a headless server (no physical monitor, its a virtual machine). After testing yesterday ...

When I run it from my server I get this message: [NULL @ 0x555b4e1ce8c0] Unable to find a suitable output format for 'rtsp://username:password@ipaddress:554/h264/ch1/main/av_stream' rtsp://username:password@ipaddress:554/h264/ch1/main/av_stream: Invalid argument and if use ffplay: root@GRE-MAN-02:/u...

Its a virtual headless server, so I will not be able to display an output.
But I will try this tonight, perhaps it display some more information about the stream.

On my computer it open without any issues besides the previous mentioned error messages.

yeah that's what I'm starting to think.
Now these door stations are little bit different in regard in set up then the regular cams.

Nobody?

Apologies for the late reply, things got in the way of further troubleshooting this. With Ffmpeg I am able to open up a stream of the camera's without any issues. I've tested with /h264/ and without and same for the port ":554", in the URL "rtsp://username:password@ipaddress:554/h264/...

I will test the suggested tomorrow evening. The server that hosts ZM should be sufficient, its hosted as a VM with decent HW specs (4x CPU (Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3), 8GB RAM). Switches are good, username/ password, ... Command I would need to look up, for ZM you don't need to install this codec separa...
