ZoneMinder Forums

Firstly, ZoneMinder was recently featured on FLOSS Weekly where they interviewed me for about a half hour. Speaking isn't my strong point, but you can find the interview here (audio and video formats). Very nice! Did they provide any of the questions ahead of time for you? Some of them seemed a lit...

Ha, I have run into this same problem but never considered a "run state" filter to work around it. But I feel your pain: I set the cameras to Mocord when we leave for vacation or whatever (Vacation run state) then forget to switch back to Normal when we get home so I have all sorts of even...

I've been getting a lot of red capture events as well, but it's from my furthest wireless camera so I just figured it was due to low signal strength. I haven't seen it go completely red, though (which lends credence to my "dropped signal" theory).

I replied in the other thread but my problem was that I was using static libraries with my custom ffmpeg compile. I removed everything and then rebuilt ffmpeg from scratch using the shared library configuration instead and that got me past that error. The problem was apparently an old library file h...

What I ended up doing was rebuilding ffmpeg from source and used shared libraries instead of static. I followed this guide: https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/UbuntuCompilationGuide And it resulted in this (see below for my configure parameters): ffmpeg version git-2013-09-06-bcd1c20 Copyright (c) ...

Yep, working fine for me too (EyeZM and EyeZM HD).

Now if only those apps would get updated!

I see that a red screen in the monitor is the new replacement for the old blue screen? I'm guessing this was an intended change ... makes it more obvious that something went wrong.

Just one note: I wasn't able to run zmupdate.pl to upgrade from 1.26.0 to 1.26.2 (it said it couldn't update from that version). So I had to set ZM_DYN_DB_VERSION and ZM_DYN_DB_VERSION in the Config table to 1.26.2 manually in order to get ZM to start again.

Ok, I downloaded and compiled/installed the 1.26 final release. However, ZM shows me running 1.26.0 and if I click on that version link it tells me the latest release is 1.26.1. Did I miss something?

edit: ah, nevermind, I see 1.26.2 is out now!

Doh! That just happened today? How funny ... time to recompile again!

Ok, I managed to compile 1.26b3. It was indeed some outdated libavcodec libraries that was causing my error. After getting all of that cleaned up, the compile finished and I was able to upgrade my existing 1.25 installation. Still have a little work to do ... all my monitors are in black-and-white n...

windracer, How are you attempting to install ffmpeg & zoneminder? What are your configure options for both? I normally build ffmpeg from source using this guide . My current configure options for ffmpeg are: ffmpeg version git-2013-09-06-bcd1c20 Copyright (c) 2000-2013 the FFmpeg developers bui...

I still can't build 1.26b3. Same ffmpeg issue I had before : g++ -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -g -O2 -L/usr/local/bin/lib -L/usr/lib/mysql -o zmc zmc.o zm_box.o zm_buffer.o zm_camera.o zm_comms.o zm_config.o zm_coord.o zm.o zm_db.o zm_logger.o zm_event.o zm_exception.o zm_file_camera.o zm_ffmpeg_camera....

The release notes say to use ffmpeg version N-55540-g93f4277. Try that. Not sure how I would get that specific version for Ubuntu 13.04. I just compiled from git, so I've got ffmpeg version git-2013-08-20-d9b0b54. For Ubuntu platforms, you also have the option of using Kyle's puppet module: https:/...

Trying to compile on Ubuntu 13.04 with a fresh build of ffmpeg from source, I get this error during the make: g++ -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -g -O2 -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/mysql -o zmc zmc.o zm_box.o zm_buffer.o zm_camera.o zm_comms.o zm_config.o zm_coord.o zm.o zm_db.o zm_logger.o zm_event.o zm_e...
