Any suggestions?

I'm running Zoneminder 1.32.3 on Ubuntu 18.04.2. If i configure a camera to use the video writer option in either x264 or h264 passthrough mode, i'm unable to view stored events. i get the normal playback screen with an error that says, "The video could not be loaded, either because the server ...

I found the issue. I was missing the Bionic Main repository for APT.

It's 64 bit bit bionic with LAMP.

i'm trying to install Zoneminder on a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 using the directions here: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Server_18.04_64-bit_with_Zoneminder_1.30.4_the_easy_way At the "install zoneminder" step i get a list of dependencies that are uninstallable (see below). Any id...

Changing to TCP took care of it. Thanks!

Kninggett, thanks for TCP suggestion, I will give it a shot. I had already tried libvlc, the camera doesn't work at all.

bbunge, I experience the issue on 3 Amcrest cameras - models are IP2M-844E, IP3M-954E and IPM-722S.

they're all Amcrest cameras, different models. All of them will experience this issue when connecting via ffmpeg but one of them will only work via ffmpeg. the others work via "direct".

Thanks for the suggestion. I already have the FPS down to 5 but still have the issue.

It clears quickly but causes a motion alert. The same cameras set to remote and RTSP don't experience thi...

Thanks. -1 hour works better and I am not getting duplicates.

I ended up getting this working by setting the type to Libvlc. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm curious, what is the difference between remote, libvlc and FFMPEG?

No, I've got it as Remote. I just tried FFMPEG and now I see just a blue screen when viewing the monitor. I double checked that resolution and it is correct.

Hi, I'm 'running ZM 1.29 on Ubuntu 14.0.4. I have an Amcrest IPM-722S camera which is working with no problem over RTSP and h.264. I am trying to add another Amcrest camera - an IP3M-954E to the system. I have the camera configured for H.264 but can not get video from it. The log gets flooded with e...

Thanks. I'll try that. But couldn't I end up getting duplicate events emailed?
