VLC stream works but ZM returns error "immediate exit requested"

[BenJ]

I am hoping someone can point out where I am going wrong. I have an Onwote PoE IP camera. The stream is viewable in VLC with the URL rtsp://192.168.0.123:554/h264?username=zm

But when I add a monitor with the same URL, I see this error in the logs:

Code: Select all

Unable to open input rtsp://192.168.0.123:554/h264?username=zm due to: Immediate exit requested

The ZoneMinder camera config is ffmpeg source type, and Monitor function. The resolution matches the camera (5MP, 2592x1944), using TCP as the method. The error makes me thing there is a configuration wrong on the camera's side. But the VLC stream is working, so I don't know. What else can I check to see why the connection is exiting immediately?

I am sorry if this has been covered, I wasn't able to find anything by searching. I am running ZM v1.34.20

What hardware are you using to record? Have you tried libVLC? Also try ffmpeg from the terminal as per my sig and report back how that goes.
