How many cameras do you actually have? The count of tasks in those screen shots seems to be climbing too, is it possible you have more capture processes than you have cameras (e.g. something is causing them to stall, so ZM launches a new capture process, and again, and again, for every camera) ? Tha...

L A M P = Linux (O/S), Apache (Web Server), MySQL (database), PHP programming language.

You've already got the "L" in the forum of Ubuntu

rstp://192.168.1.29:8554/stream1 Can you check if that is a transcription typo when pasting to the forum, or did you really type that into ZM? R-*T*-S-P ;) Well spotted. It was a transcription error on my part. Apologies and thank you for the swift response. Ah, no problem. I'd hate to think that a...

It consumes most of the 16GB of RAM. I do not mind the system consuming all of the RAM because part of the RAM is used for caching. I also believe unused RAM is a waste. I think this is an important thing to get across to people, esp. those coming from a Windows background where (historically) the ...

Note that ZM doesn't REQUIRE rtsp -- it's just that most cameras that provide an RTSP stream will be supported by ZM and the settings can be discovered easier if the camera supports ONVIF. Discovering the cameras secrets may well involve using the original manufacturer's app, plus some packet-sniffi...

I'm doing all of this as root. Wow. Then you need to give your computer a stern talking to. "I am root. What do you 'Permission Denied!' Who's in charge here?" :) Still, your test ffmpeg command should be happier if you give it a destination that it can write to. If the computer will allo...

Good instinct! It was edited later to add the secret sauce, which is why it's now gone.

ERR [zmc_m15] [Unable to convert raw format 0 yuv420p 1920x1080 to target format 26 rgba 1920x1080: Invalid argument] On the face of it, the error seems to make sense (except why 420p is 1920x1080?!) It's not 420p as in a worse version of 720p (720 scanlines, progressive) but 420 is a measure of ho...

Interestingly, /etc/rc[4,5,6].d all exist Hmmm. So that's a good stand-in for rc.9/rc.fish suggestion. So something is only ingesting four indigestible pieces of directory, expecting video devices. Why only four? :) options bttv card=42,42,42,42 radio=0 tuner=4 chroma_agc=1 vbibufs=4 v4l2=1 gbuffer...

Trying to install zm on debian bookworm and I get the following error when running the command to create and grant the zmuser. mysql -uroot -p -e "grant all on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';" Enter password: ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL s...

I think I used to see these. They are coming from the kernel, not init runlevels. I think they are coming from the video capture add-on card drivers. I don't think I was ever able to fix them. True on the source: The log messages do say "vss-new" (machine name) and source as "kernel:...

Thank you for that! Confirmed that same description is valid on the version of Debian that this machine is installed with. (They say that it can change between distros & releases... simply running perl -E 'say $!=shift' 6 returned "No such device or address".) Certainly sounds hardwar...

I did think of a workaround... doesn't really fix whatever's causing this, but makes syslog useful again. Created /etc/rsyslog.d/01-blocklist.conf and put these lines in it: :msg,contains,"rc rc0: error -6" ~ :msg,contains,"rc rc1: error -6" ~ :msg,contains,"rc rc2: error -...
