When I saw no else not mentioning seeing events in the monitor feed I thought I was the only one experiencing this problem. I thought the console object was part of some kind of "must have" firefox extension that I did not have or there was an issue with my firefox browser.

I used the Firefox Error Console (under Tools->Error Console). I opened the Error Console. Then I Pressed the 'Clear' button to delete older error message. Then clicked in opened a monitor feed in zoneminder and saw the javascript error. If you don't see that error message in the Firefox Error Conso...

I had this same problem when I upgraded to 1.23.3. The reason the events were not showing on in my browser was because of a javascript error killed the event list creation. The error was something about 'console' not found. I found in zm_html_view_eventX.php and zm_html_view_watchX.php calls to 'con...

Wow! That is an impressive montage view.

I don't have experience with using Zoneminder with IP cameras but I heard they take a lot of CPU and that in turn gives you low frame rates. What frame rate do you get if you only have 1 monitor running?

Source install works on Ubuntu 8.04. There was a problem with not finding the zmviewercore library.

I then fix the problem with:

I gave it a try on Ubuntu 8.04 with your hardy .deb. zmviewer loaded at first fine. I then entered my Zoneminder's database information in the settings and it then crashed with the following message: zmviewer: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libzmviewercore.so: undefined symbol: _Z7qstrcmpRK10QByteArr...

Oh I see, you did a -prefix=/opt/ When you called ./configure with the Zoneminder src did you have the option --with-ffmpeg=/opt/? If you didn't that the build won't work. If your did have the --with-ffmpeg=/opt/ option set, then look in the opt directory for the ffmpeg files. There should be a 'lib...

I might be you missed a required flag when you installed ffmpeg. When you start the ffmpeg installation with ./configure you need the following flags: You can check you your ffmpeg flags by typing

Do you get any warning messages about buffer overruns when you type the following command? cat /var/log/syslog | grep overrun If you do then you have 3 options: 1) Reduce your image size or frame rate 2) Simplify your motion detection for that monitor 3) Increase your monitor's "Image Buffer Si...

I had a simular problem that you had williamberg. Zoneminder's make file was expecting .h files in /usr/local/include/fmpeg. My ffmpeg install didn't create a ffmpeg folder under /usr/local/include, instead it created folders like libavdevice, liavutil, libswscale, libavcodec and libvformat. I think...

I think Ubuntu comes with both V4L and V4L2 drivers. Reading this thread (http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11731) it sounds like the version xwatv in ubuntu 8.04 is a V4L2 only program. If it was a driver issue, I think you would have gotten error messages in /var/log/syslog. What do...

Try restarting zoneminder whenever you change the monitor setup. Try 320x240 with NTSC and PAL with half the standard PAL resolution (352x288?).

Are there any zoneminder related log events in /var/log/syslog?

Do the apache2 log files have any error messages?

Also, right-click the broken image icon and select 'Properties.' Open firefox to the URL you see in the 'Location' field of the properties box. See if you get an image or an error message.

I gave your latest patch a try last night. I have 7 analog cameras with capture size 640x480. 2 run at 4 fps, 2 run at 2.5 fps and 3 run at 1.6 fps. 4 are night vision the while the other 3 are low light sensitive and up to pick up infrared lighting. They were all running at ref blend 7 at first. Wh...

Do the files of the archived events still exists? I made a mistake of entering the wrong web folder when I upgraded from source (the --with-webdir parameter of the configure script). Zoneminder than looked at the wrong web folder and saw no event files and then automatically deleted all the events f...
