Cannot view videos of event unless I download them.

Post by homebrewdude »

I am using H264 or H265 passthrough with jpg turned off and sound recorded.

When I try to watch an event I get sound and no video.
When I download the event and play in VLC it is fine.

What settings do I need to change?

Do you have an up to date browser? What camera make / model?

How did you install?
fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl

h265 will generally not play in a browser.
The h264 should though.
The audio but no video is odd.

Going to need debug level 3 logs from zmc.
