If its on wifi I would check and see if your access point is free of interference and run a ping on it for 20 or 30 minutes and see if you get high latency or dropped packets. If you have not done so already I would also make sure that you dont have a min/max FPS set for that monitor on the zonemin...

I'm still getting partial frame errors (stripes) from the HD camera. Only one frame in about 90 minutes.

Is that likely a wireless networking issue?

Is there a way I can debug this?

Thanks much.

Are you running the VLC client on Windows or Linux? I had some issues with the default VLC package on Ubuntu 13.04 playing RTSP streams, I can take a look at my notes to see why it was failing. Do you get any interesting output if you run VLC from a shell like "vlc -v rtsp://host/whatever"...

If VLC on your laptop wont play the RTSP stream it might not have the support for it, you might want to run vlc from the command line and watch the output when you connect. For RTSP on VLC just use rtsp://192.168.1.1/11 without user auth, with auth it should be rtsp://user:pass@192.168.1.1/11. Meh....

Under 'Source Type' in the monitors setup page. I have not had good luck with ffmpeg, libvlc works better for my RTSP camera. eta: Forgot to mention that in order to use libvlc you need to have the VLC libs installed when you compile ZM. Thanks. I didn't know where that feature was added. It doesn'...

How can I tell which one is being used?

I see the issue. The initial 'zm_create.sql' file does not setup the DB with the latest requirements. Use 'zm_update-1.27.1.sql' in the 'db' folder of the source to resolve the problem. Depending on your config this command might need the password option but if you stop ZM and execute 'mysql zm < z...

Thanks. I commented it out but I'm still stuck with this in the logs: 2014-04-14 15:24:30.088590 zmdc 12187 ERR 'zmc -m 1' exited abnormally, exit status 30 zmdc.pl 2014-04-14 15:24:30.083376 zmc_m1 12386 ERR Can't run query: Unknown column 'ExtendAlarmFrames' in 'field list' /usr/src/ZoneMinder/sr...

Update. A zoneminding friend of mine sent me this link: https://github.com/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder/archive/v1.27.0.tar.gz This code captures 640x480 video from my Jr FosCam, but logging is completely broken. I get nothing in my log and that makes it hard to debug my 720p FosCam camera, which is what I...

this is the code block from /zm/includes/action.php I altered by commenting out line 553. this starts at line 550 if ( $restart ) { $monitor = dbFetchOne( "select * from Monitors where Id = ?", NULL, array($mid) ); # fixDevices(); //if ( $cookies ) //session_write_close(); if ( daemonChec...

FWIW the git repository code is currently 'good' for use. I built from scratch on a new server on Friday and its been working very well. This are my current configure options: ./configure --with-libarch=lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --disable-debug --host=x86_64-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --with-mys...

Doesn't work. Don't know why.

Has anyone done a from scratch install of 1.27 and it worked?

I figure I must have bad luck or something.

zmc -m 1 exits with this error...

Update. I needed to run ./zmlinkcontent.sh. I still get the Fatal error though. And it still won't grab from my camera...

Must push on...

My 1.26.5 install was bad. Logging wasn't working. So I deleted everything and started from scratch with git 1.27. But I can't get it to work. I thought 1.27 was released, but there's no announcement and official source tar ball, is there? If so I can't find it. Plus, the wiki install guide is out o...
