Console "Stopped"

Post by ac »

I have built ZoneMinder from source on Ubuntu. I added an IP camera but the ZM console window just always says "stopped". If I click on it and change it to started it doesn't do anything, it stays on stopped. There is no link to view the live video for the camera I added (I assume because it is not started). I can't see anything in the logs to indicate any errors, any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Take a look at this: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11681 (bttv issue?); also bluecherry isn't using newer versions of Ubuntu because of ffmepg issues (probably not the answer to your question). There is plenty of information on both of these issues in these forums and many more dealing with the many different versions of Ubuntu.

hmm.. i think you write about a different problem..
i tried testing zm with my single network cam (mjpeg stream) and also just with some camera-shot jpg-files on server.. but the server stays on mode "Stopped"..
if i click on "Stopped" and choose "Start" on the opened window, it jumps normally back to the main console but still stays in "Stopped" Mode..

i'm Using Debian 2.6.20-16 (as webserver) and win xp to access to the zm website on sever..
as said before i'm trying to get it to "Started" with simple jpg files on server.. i mean there shouldn't be a driver problem so..

help... :-)

What's the network camera model?

And also - what are the settings you've got for it in the "Source" box for that entry?

first i tried to use my linksys wvc54gca with mjpeg stream.. as the console still kept on "Stopped" i removed that camera and just tried to use zm with a monitor with a jpg-file a source, which is updated each 10s... but here i got the same problem.. i can't get it started..

what can i do to find the problem? is there a problem with debian? i didn't use the deb package.. but install worked without a error msg..

do you need some more info?
