I'm really stuck. Permissions seem okay. I think the real problem is zms is crashing, I don't even know what the process is called, but there is no zms running as can be seen here: ps -ef | grep zm apache 20064 1 0 Sep25 ? 00:00:22 /usr/bin/perl -wT /usr/bin/zmdc.pl startup apache 20108 20064 2 Sep2...

Here's zmfilter.log which shows it deleting the events. 09/25/2015 19:26:39.967747 zmfilter[16015].INF [Deleting event 162] 09/25/2015 19:26:39.968593 zmfilter[16015].INF [Deleting event 163] 09/25/2015 19:26:39.969448 zmfilter[16015].INF [Deleting event 164] It's had 164 events but none of them wer...

More information: zmc_m1 and zmc_m2 are running fine. It is alarming, as evidence in zma_m1.log, but later, the pictures aren't found and the alarm is deleted. It looks like it can't write the files out to the drive. I'll keep hunting. Here's a snip of one of the zma logs: 09/25/15 19:26:24.260909 z...

I mokeyed with some symbolic links (I store the images and events on a raid array with more space than my boot drive. I just restarted it and I get errors, but the streams are viewable. zms.log looks like this: 09/24/15 22:55:35.502469 zms[16108].INF-/var/tmp/portage/www-misc/zoneminder-1.28.1/work/...

I've been running zoneminder with foscam cameras for a couple of years. I updated my gentoo a few months ago and motion detection stopped working. Images are still capturing because I can see them in montage. But motion is never detected and images are never stored. I reinstalled and created a new m...

Bump. I'm still dead in the water.

I figure it's a problem with the vlc version I'm using. Is there a way to find out what version of vlc was used to test ZoneMinder 1.28.1?

I just realized that the error message I posted was bogus. ZM is trying to start my two disabled cameras and of course it can't connect to them. In fact the 720p camera is monitor 2 and zmc is segfaulting. Here's the error messages: Any clues would be appreciated. I'll try the command line the log r...

Workaround: http://foscam.us/forum/fi9820w-and-zoneminder-a-workaround-t4108.html I have a FL9821W that works well on FFMPEG. Have turned the resolution and frame rate down a bit I'll give that a try, thanks. Update: nope, not going to lower the 720p video to less than VGA. This was working before ...

I recently upgraded from 1.27 to 1.28.1 and my HD camera stopped working. (SD cameras are working) It was completely working with 1.27 using libvlc. Now I can't get it to work with libvlc or ffmpeg. It's foscam FL9820W and it's a crappy camera who's mpeg stream breaks when the light levels are just ...

You really think you oughtta get a dedicated Debian machine... and run my image..... ;) I've told you G, I'm not moving away from Gentoo and the overhead of the VM is too high. Update: I get bad partial frames once in a while from the camera. I think its actually bad encoding in the camera. I think...

I'm having problems with the HD camera. A huge number of bad frames as the sun sets. Massive alarms. Its brutal.

I have to figure out if it was a bandwidth issue or a lighting issue.

I don't know if anyone can help me with this, but when I try to play back recordings from the STD DEF camera, the playback freezes after a couple of frames. The only message I get in the log is: 2014-04-16 15:03:22.583745 web_php 9912 ERR Timed out waiting for msg zm/includes/functions.php 2329 But ...

Update: looks like slowing down the frame rate increased the quality and eliminated the bad frames. I got good video of the FexEx guy delivering a package this morning.

So awesome!

Thanks again!
