Oh ya, I totally forgot about that. swscale is a external definition, so the latest always gets checked out when you check out FFMPEG even if the version's are incompatible. Thanks Panda. Magix_ch, if you still have that checkout of of 21010. Go to the ffmpeg folder you checked out and do the follow...

Zoneminder doesn't work with the latest version of ffmpeg on SVN. The SVN revision of ffmpeg I use is revision 21010. You can check out that version with the commend by using the argument "-r 21010" in you svn checkout command.

Try opening a browser to http://localhost/zm

If that doesn't work, look in your apache web folder (it was in /var/www the last time I used a websever on Ubuntu) to see any other folders you have there.

It might be a problem with the file path to where the zoneminder events are stored. Or a permission problem with the event folder.

Check the zoneminder logs (usually in /tmp) and you're system logs (/var/log) for any errors regarding zoneminder after trying to watch a video stream in

This was with firefox not liking changing the size of mjpeg streams. The SVN version of Zoneminder has a fix for this.

I ran into the same problem today. There are new updates in the ZM svn so I updated ffmpeg and tried to reinstall Zoneminder. There are changes in the latest ffmpeg that break's Zoneminder's build process. We need to install an older version of ffmpeg. I switched to an older svn revision of ffmpeg. ...

Yes, Zoneminder will release the disk space used to store the deleted events. Most likely you won't see the files deleted on the harddisk right away but they will get deleted eventually. The default delete mode in Zoneminder is fast delete mode ('OPT_FAST_DELETE' in the system options). In fast dele...

The events are stored in the zoneminder web folder. On Ubuntu systems, this is usually in /var/www/zm. To make sure Zoneminder doesn't fill up your harddisk, you need to enable the "PurgeWhenFull" filter. To do this you need to do the following: - Click on the 'Filters' button on the Zonem...

You're welcome.

I'm glad I was of help.

I'm currently on Firefox 3.5. My zoneminder server is on an Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition box.

It might be the browser is doing something funny. You can try clearing you're browser cache or try using a different web browser (SeaMonkey is a popular alternitave to firefox people use here.)

There seems to be something more than just interlacing going on here. In the video, it looks see the a interlaced ghost of the car that stays still in for more than 1 frame then disappears while you see car moving the whole time. This shouldn't be happening. You should the two different interlaced v...

It looks like the Perl library for mysql is unable to access the mysql server socket. It could be a permission issue or it might a configuration problem in the Perl library (can verifiy this by writing or finding a little Perl script that connects to a mysql database) or a configuration problem in t...

I got apache running on port 80 and 8080 on my box at work. So I ssh tunnel from port 80 (my zoneminder box at home) to port 8081 (my box at work). I whipped out my netbook just now (running Ubuntu 9.10 netbook remix) and tried "ssh <my> -L 80:localhost:80" and then "ssh <my> 8080:loc...
