Unrecognised content type 'application/octet-stream'

Post by mwheeler1982 »

Trying to get an old Cisco WVC200 IP camera up and going with Zoneminder 1.25 . When I turn on debugging, this is what I see:

06/30/13 12:20:59.040480 zmc_m1[2327].DB3-zm_remote_camera_http.cpp/717 [Got status '200' (OK), http version 1.1]
06/30/13 12:20:59.040487 zmc_m1[2327].DB3-zm_remote_camera_http.cpp/724 [Got connection 'close']
06/30/13 12:20:59.040494 zmc_m1[2327].DB3-zm_remote_camera_http.cpp/758 [Got content type 'application/octet-stream']
06/30/13 12:20:59.040501 zmc_m1[2327].ERR-zm_remote_camera_http.cpp/800 [Unrecognised content type 'application/octet-stream']
06/30/13 12:20:59.040935 zmc_m1[2327].ERR-zm_remote_camera_http.cpp/1097 [Unable to get response]
06/30/13 12:20:59.041366 zmc_m1[2327].DB3-zm_remote_camera_http.cpp/114 [Disconnected from host]
06/30/13 12:20:59.041398 zmc_m1[2327].ERR-zmc.cpp/263 [Failed to capture image from monitor 1 (0/1)]
06/30/13 12:20:59.042122 zmc_m1[2327].DB3-zm_remote_camera_http.cpp/114 [Disconnected from host]

I have the following settings configured for the camera:
* Source Type: Remote
* Function: Monitor
* Protocol: HTTP
* Method: Simple
* Hostname / Port: <IP Address> / 80
* Host Path: /img/mjpeg.cgi (works in browser, BTW)

Also of interesting note, when I use Chrome Developer tools and watch the HTTP response headers from the camera, it advertises its content type as image/jpeg , so i'm not sure where the application/octet stream is coming from.

Have you tried FFmpeg as a source type?

Well, ffmpeg seems to work ... kinda.

Now, for the bottom half of the video, the colors change with every frame. See one of the frames below for an example.
