ZM 1.32.3, ARM board and MJPEG camera
Posted: Sun Mar 03, 2019 11:01 pm
I have installed ZM 1.32.3 on Ubuntu 18.04 and Odroid XU4 (ARM board).
I have also installed ZM 1.32.3 on Ubuntu 18.04 and my laptop.
On Odroid, ZoneMinder is working fine and connected to Foscam IP camera (it's an MJPEG camera). Motion detection is working and events are generated as expected.
The issue: it's not possible to see recorded videos. I can only see jpg in the folder when events are generated, but not possible to see a video (like with ZM 1.29 or ZM 1.30.4).
In the settings for the camera/Monitor (Monitor->Storage->Video Writer), I see Video Writer is set to "Disabled". I cannot select "X264 Encode" or "H264 Camera Passthrough" because they are grayed out.
On my laptop I configured the same camera. For this machine, video recording is working fine. Here Monitor->Storage->Video Writer is set to "X264 Encode".
How can I have video recording working on Odroid for MJPEG cameras?
What I find difficult to understand is that on ZM 1.29 and ZM 1.30.4 (lower ZM versions), video recording is working fine for the same camera.
So, it seems a regression: what working fine in ZM 1.29/1.30.4 is no more working in 1.32.3.
I'm not asking to enable X264 for ARM in ZM 1.32.3 (I understand it could be an hard job), but at least maintain the same recorded JPEG viewing functionalities for MJPEG camera existing in ZM 1.29/ZM 1.30.4!!
Hope to be clear.
Any answer will be appreciated.
