I have not used analog cameras tied to a capture card in years so my memory is fuzzy. Are your cameras NTSC or PAL? Find out and then make sure you have programmed zoneminder accordingly. Use a tool called xawtv to see if you can see video. If you get video then the problem may be a zonemidner confi...

What zoneminder calls an "archive" event is simply a database flag that is associated with the event in question. Neither the image files nor the dB metadata get moved anywhere when the archive bit is set. Archived events can be deleted just like normal events, which is why it is important...

Find your httpd.conf file and edit DocumentRoot to point to the directory you want. However, what I have done instead was edit the default index.html in the DocumentRoot folder to auto-redirect to your zoneminder page. It is a very simple amount of html. That way when users enter www.mywebpage.org, ...

Thank you for all your hard work mastertheknife.

For anyone interested, I have created an RPM & SRPM of the latest kfir-proper branch here:
http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewto ... 428#p80428

This RPM represents the kifr-proper branch on github. Per the github summary page, this is nextime's feature branch from https://github.com/nextime/zum, with perfpatches from masteroftheknife, plugin support and other patches. As with the previous RPM's, the source has been patched to make it more R...

It's interesting that you've listed the following as the Source Path: rtsp://{user}:{pwd}@{camera_ip}:554/11 I guess I misread the documentation for this camera. When I read the portion that states how to get a video stream via the rtsp method, I thought it stated that embedding the username and pas...

Nice work. Do you happen to know what exactly was modified in the latest firmware for this camera? Looking at how the control script handles authentication, the camera still appears to want to authenticate using a separate password challenge. Can you check the camera setup screenshots? They don't ap...

Yeah, this is why I just stick to the ffmpeg at rpmforge. Even if you get this working, you will have to revisit this issue anytime you want to upgrade ffmpeg or zoneminder on your machine. Did you do this part? I suspect that these are macro defines in ffmpeg somewhere so I did a search in the ffmp...

I created an Issue in the Zoneminder github regarding this. Can you share your results there as well?
My intent is to see if we can get the developer(s) to incorporate your work into the source tree.

OK, stupid off-topic github question... how do I assign labels to an issue? Or is that reserved for an admin?

Here are a new set of RPM's. ffmpeg is now listed as a requirement for this rpm (fixes the issue in the previous post). If you use Yum then it will automatically grab it from the rpmforge repository. It also checks to make sure you have the right version, but if you are using the ffmpeg from rpmforg...

I was looking for something else when I came across this today: http://tom.webarts.ca/Blog/new-blog-items/buildingzoneminderandrequiredffmpegandx264fromsource#TOC-Build-ffmpeg-without-libx264 Looks like he shows the necessary changes that should be made to the zm source to get it to compile with mod...

That's correct. Zoneminder 1.25 is known not to work with modern versions of ffmpeg, including the version you are trying to use. Now I'm sure you could spend time modding the zoneminder source to get it to compile, but I'd rather just use an older version of ffmpeg. The version I know to work witho...

Excellent. I look forward to it.

OKay, I just noticed the irony in my post.... you are the one I quoted from the Foscam forum. #LaughingAtMyself
