I have had the same issue with the libvlc. Go back to ffmpeg or the remote source type. May work much better for you.

That sounds like a beast of a system! Good job and thanks for trying ZM!!!

May I recommend you start over and use a packaged version of ZM? http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_Server_14.04_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.28.1_the_easy_way About the only change I would make the defaults on Ubuntu is to use the noatime option when you set up the drive space. Using the p...

I have Ubuntu 15.04 64 bit running ZM 1.26.5. Have also installed 1.28.x on Ubuntu 15.04 successfully. See: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_Server_15.04_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.26.5_the_easy_way No instructions for the compiled version as I upgraded Ubuntu from 14.04 on my Virtual B...

What OS are you using? What connection method do you use for your IP cameras? Try turning down the frame rate and resolution. For the USB cameras do it in the ZM settings. For your IP cameras change the settings at the camera. Also set your resolution down to 320x240 or whatever the lowest you can u...

Do not think you will be able to do what you want with Zoneminder. Zoneminder pretty much compares progressive image "frames" and detects changes to trigger alarms. Yes, your MP4 files are a series of frames and Zoneminder can process "files" but I would bet a 10 minute MP4 file ...

Finally got time to set up a test machine. Was not able to replicate the problem. I just checked "OPT_USE_AUTH" after adding a new admin user. Was able to log in after saving the settings. I remember changing "AUTH_RELAY" to None when I was trying to get ZM streams to show in a w...

Try ffmpeg as a source. If you are running Ubuntu make sure to enable cgi in Apache.

What did you upgrade from? If it was Ubuntu 12.04 there were some changes to Apache that changed the setup procedure. Check the WIKI for more information.

It was something that worked for me some time back. Do not remember other than trying another setting when something does not work. Will set up a test machine and see f I can replicate the issue and come up with a reason. This may take me a couple of days due to some family commitments.

Did you follow the instructions at: http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.ph ... e_easy_way

You did not say which version of Ubuntu/Zoneminder you came from. Some things have changed from older versions.

Try turning your AUTH_RELAY setting to None.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd

It is another way to start services in Linux.

If you can connect to your ZM web gui and add monitors you are OK. Try to start and stop ZM from the web gui. That will be the test if you have it right.

Did you reboot the server? IMPORTANT: At this point the /var/run/zm directory has not been created. You may restart the PC which will create the directory or create it manually with the command "mkdir /var/run/zm" Or if you continue to have problems drop back to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and follow...
