On Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Have installed dozens of times following the ZM Wiki for 10.04 to the exact letter. Never had a problem. First, however, had to make sure Ubuntu 10.04 LTS was up to date, then install ZM 1.24.XX

Whew. Took 4 days and hundreds of threads, but finally! Did a clean install of Ubunut12.04. Then did all of the updates via Command Line. (read somewhere if you just do the updates by Package Manager, not as effective) Went to ZM Wiki and followed instructions on 1.25 on Ubuntu 12.04 the easy way. F...

knnniggett- I acutally got it to work using the VFL2 in Source settings for the camera, not VFL1. And it worked. Go back to try an duplicate everything, and nothing. Carrier82-You are absolutely right. I broke the cardinal rule! But I was trying the Ubuntu 12.04-it's pretty slick, but has issues wit...

Sometimes upgrading isn't always a good thing. I was able to get it to work on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS one time. Another install on same machine, same hardware, same everything-just can't get ZM 1.25 to display video on an analog monitor, only IP camera. Have read through 24 pages of threads, some addressi...

Did you ever get a resolution? Seems they left you hanging, but that's normal.

Well, here we go again. Installed above on another computer and even followed my findings in a previous post, but to no avail no video from an analog camera, just black, or the missing image icon. Anyone have an answer. This is really frustrating. Two exact computers, two exact packages, and still N...

Sorry. This doesn't seem to be the fix. Just installed Ubuntu 12.04.01, installed ZM 1.25 per Wiki, Analog camera does not work. Just the IP camera. Even used my own "fix" as posted and still does not work. Only thing i haven't done on this install was to updat icedtea. Would this affect ZM

Reference made to this: Went through all of the settings, one by one. Turned out that I had to use VFL2 instead of the settings I was using in ZM1.24 which was VFL1, /dev/video0, channel 0 NTSC YUYV422P, 15 fps, 15 fps, 320x240. Now in ZM 1.25 settings are /dev/video0, channel 0 NTSC, RGB565, 15 fps...

Well that fixed the error in the log. But still can't get analog camera to work, and when viewing events, says my icedtea plugin is out of date, yet I just installed the latest and greatest from the Ubuntu Software Center. It will eventually play the video but i have to run the plugin, allow the cer...

Ok, I'll give it a try.

Now, how do I find what you want me to change?????

Thanks for the reply. But if you follow the thread, that really didn't fix it either, so I'm not wasting my time going through that gaggle. Im sure there's a fix, we're not the only ones that have experienced this. Temporarily I do have one IP camera that is fine and a piece of cake to set up, just ...

Found that if you "upgrade" from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04, t just doesn't work. Best thing to do is to download the ISO for Ubuntu 12.04 and install from there. The go to Wiki for ZM 1.25 and follow instructions. The ZN app in Ubuntu software center appears to be junk and will not work. You w...

I'm reaaaalllllly biting my tongue. Upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, then followed Wiki for ZM 1.25. One Axis IP Camera works, analog camera via BT878 shows no video. Have changed channel, changed input, changed device, changed everything, still doesn't work. "Log" is also red in upper righ...
