if ZM is unable to capture the video feed, then it won't create the files in /dev/shm.

If you're using a capture card, then you have to stream from local (/dev/video0, /dev/video1, etc.).
Or that is how I understand it works.

I'm not an expert at ZM - I've only started using it fairly recently.

OK, I've quickly applied the changes that I've made to xlib_shm-0.6.4 to xlib_shm-0.6.4-gl too. Here's my copy of the OpenGL version: http://www.mediafire.com/file/no6c53cvigdb4h6/xlib_shm-0.6.5-gl-pada.tar.gz I've done a few quick tests with a single 640x480 @ 15fps mpeg stream test on my i7 940: x...

Try Source Type = Ffmpeg
Source Path = rtsp://<userID>:<passw>@<ip>:554/axis-media/media.amp

BTW, I would suggest that you try and play from that URL using Mplayer or VLC first (if you have a Desktop installation that is).

PS: Don't post publicly accessible IP addresses here... although it did help me to identify your problem. Your problem is that you're trying to capture the video feed from the wrong URL! You cannot capture a video feed from an HTML page. It has to be a video feed. Try the following URL: http://camer...

I have to agree that it would be awesome for the logo and whole website to have its looks revamped, however there are much more pressing concerns than a simple logo change

I'm really grateful that ZoneMinder has a support forum, unlike OpenSSL and FFmpeg, where they only have stupid mailing lists.

AFAIK the ZM that is installed via the package manager for Ubuntu is using mmap and not shm. I you have even the mjpeg streaming working, then you would see /dev/shm/zm.mmap.* files. Instead of using 'Source Type = Remote' for the camera, try using 'Source Type = Ffmpeg' and then specify the URL und...

I would really appreciate input on this matter, even if it's as simple as saying that my idea should work, but would require lots of modifications to the existing code.... So far I've only came across a similar thread once, but that was for 1.22.3: N00b - zoneminder in a "distributed" envi...

Here is my latest version of xlib_shm, where I've done the following modifications: 1) getting shm_key from database, instead of letting the user specify it as a parameter 2) mmap support (basically just copy/paste from zm_monitor.cpp IIRC) 3) not crashing when config file not found I've also modif...

How do I check whether ZM is using this libjpeg-turbo library?

Also, if ZM is feeding from mpeg cameras via RTSP and then streaming as mpeg again, then this library will not even be used?

Hi, I'm looking for suggestions on how to configure ZoneMinder such that a single user can view/control all the servers and their associated cameras. I really don't know what the best way to set up such a configuration. The reasons why I have multiple servers, are due to the limited amount of camera...

I've now came across this problem same when installing ffmpeg & zoneminder from source on Ubuntu 10.04.1 x86: Starting ZoneMinder: /usr/local/bin/zmfix: relocation error: /usr/local/lib/libavdevice.so.52: symbol av_new_packet, version LIBAVCODEC_52 not defined in file libavcodec.so.52 with link ...

Thanks for the heads up. It really didn't seem like a spam bot, since the user was created more than 10 days ago.

GET data usually gets logged in the access logs, where as POST data won't. You can hand out URL's that include GET data, but not POST data. POST data is also used for uploading binary data. So I would say that you should always use POST data for private/sensitive stuff or for forms, but GET is fine ...

There is a problem with ZoneMinder's startup if you install it from the package manager.
See http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=16298 for 2 different solutions.

If you've compiled ZM from the source code in the SVN repositories, then you wouldn't have had that problem either.

Your question has nothing to do with Zoneminder!
